PHP is among the most commonly used server-side programming languages. It is pretty popular because it is free software, which can be used to create responsive websites such as community portals, online shopping portals or online learning portals rather than static HTML-based websites. A PHP module should be available on the web server where a PHP-powered website is hosted so that its PHP code can be ‘deciphered’. Since there aren’t any license charges for such a module and the language itself offers countless possibilities for the web-based apps that you create, there are hundreds of millions of PHP websites. Moreover, there are a multitude of PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your sites without needing to possess any programming skills. Given the fact that there’re a number of PHP versions, you must check whether the very same version that you used whilst creating your site is enabled on the web server too.

PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Cloud Web Hosting

Our cloud web hosting servers support different versions of PHP, so your sites will run without any problems no matter if your PHP-based scripts are out of date. We acknowledge the fact that an old site doesn’t invariably suggest an insecure one as you may have done a lot of source code mods. This is why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can pick which version will be active for your hosting account. You can change the version with just one click of the mouse in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the new settings will be applied right away. In case you wish to run both newer and older scripts, there’s even an option to use a different version of PHP for each of your domain names simultaneously.

PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers

Even if your sites were built with an older PHP version, you will be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, since we support multiple versions running simultaneously on our servers and each of them can be enabled for your account with just a click via our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Other than the newest PHP 8, we also support 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and the older PHP 4. The latter has already been abandoned by most hosting suppliers, but we believe that you shouldn’t be compelled to modify a website that took years to develop, as older script language syntax does not always mean security flaws. Quite the opposite, a properly maintained website using PHP 4 can be more secure than a badly maintained one using PHP 5. For your convenience, we’ll also give you the possibility to choose a different version of PHP for each website within the account.
