PHP, which is a meta-acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is one of the most commonly used curly-brace programming languages out there. Any site or web application built with PHP will run on a given server provided that a PHP module is enabled, which renders the language truly universal and it is little wonder that there are several million web servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP websites hosted on them. PHP is preferred over HTML because of the fact that it permits you to set up an interactive site with an abundance of options. A PHP-based community website, for instance, will show unique web content to each visitor regardless of the fact that the URL will not change. On the other hand, HTML-based sites are static and the page content itself can be modified only manually. Just like any other software, PHP has different versions and the version that was used whilst creating a certain website must be enabled on the web server in order for the site to work faultlessly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Web Hosting
Our shared web hosting servers support different versions of PHP, which suggests that your sites will run correctly even if your PHP-based scripts are out of date. We acknowledge the fact that an old website doesn’t inevitably suggest an insecure one as you may have performed plenty of source code mods. That is why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can pick which one will be active for your shared web hosting account. You can change the version with a single click via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the new settings will be applied straight away. In case you wish to run both newer and older scripts, there is even a possibility to use a different PHP version for each of your domains simultaneously.
