PHP, which is an initialism for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is one of the most famous open-source web programming languages available out there. Any site or Internet application created in PHP will run on a given server as long as a PHP module is activated, which renders the language truly universal and it’s not really a surprise that there are actually several million web servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP websites running on them. PHP is preferred over HTML because it enables you to develop a dynamic serving site with a plethora of different options. A PHP-based community site, for instance, will show different web content to each user in spite of the fact that the page URL won’t change. In contrast, HTML sites are static and the content on the pages can be modified only manually. Just like any other software, PHP has different versions and the version that was used whilst setting up a given website must be configured on the server in order for the site to behave faultlessly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Website Hosting
If you buy a shared website hosting plan from us, you will never have to speculate on whether your websites are compatible with the hosting environment, as several versions of PHP are enabled on our servers for your convenience. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to choose PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with just one click of the mouse and if you wish to change the current version, the update will be applied right away. Thus, many years of work on sites created with an older PHP version will not be lost. Our hosting platform will even allow you to use a different PHP version for each domain name hosted in your account, which implies that you can use newer and older scripts simultaneously. Most web hosting companies on the marketplace support one, sometimes two versions of PHP. In contrast to them, we strongly trust that you should be the one to select the version that will be used by your own websites.
