PHP is one of the most commonly used imperative programming languages. It’s rather popular because it’s free software, which you can use to create responsive websites such as social networks, Internet shops or e-learning websites rather than static HTML sites. A PHP module should be enabled on the server where a PHP website is hosted so that its code can be ‘decrypted’. Because there aren’t any license fees for this type of module and the language itself offers infinite possibilities for the Internet applications that you set up, there’re hundreds of millions of PHP websites. Also, there are a lot of PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your websites without needing to possess any programming experience. Considering the fact that there are a number of PHP versions, you need to make sure that the exact same version that you used while setting up your site is available on the web server too.

PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Hosting

We have made the decision not to prevent our present and potential clients from choosing what PHP version their websites will use, which goes to say that in case you order a shared hosting package from our company, you’ll be able to choose between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the hosting account in general, but also for each domain hosted by you. This can be done with only one single click from our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel via which all shared web hosting accounts are managed, which is the reason why you won’t need to possess any programming or technical knowledge. You’ll be able to manage sites based on both new and old PHP-based scripts without having to cope with any obstacles, so if you’d like to swap your current hosting vendor and move over to us, you can be sure that all the sites that you have set up through the years will continue to work impeccably.

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

Even in case your websites were created with an earlier version of PHP, you’ll be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, as we support multiple versions running at the same time on our semi-dedicated servers and each one of them can be enabled for your account with just a click through our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel. Aside from the newest PHP 8, we also offer support for 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, which has already been dropped by the majority of hosting vendors, but we reckon that you shouldn’t be compelled to modify a site that took years to build, as older programming language syntax doesn’t inevitably mean security loopholes. Just the opposite, a well-maintained site using PHP 4 can be more secure than an incompetently maintained one using PHP 5. For your convenience’s sake, we will also offer you the opportunity to choose a different PHP version for each single site within your account.
