PHP is amongst the most widely used interpreted programming languages. It’s quite popular because it is free software, which can be used to build interactive websites like social networking sites, e-shops or e-learning websites as opposed to static HTML-based websites. A PHP module should be installed on the server where a PHP-powered site is hosted so that its code can be read. Since there aren’t any license taxes for this kind of module and the language provides endless possibilities for the Internet applications that you set up, there are hundreds of millions of PHP-driven sites. Furthermore, there are numerous open-source PHP scripts, which you can use for your sites without needing to have any programming expertise. Considering the fact that there are different PHP versions, you should make sure that the same exact version that you used while creating your site is activated on the server as well.

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

With our shared hosting packages, you will be able to pick which PHP version will be active for your hosting account, since we support different versions. With as little as one click, you’ll be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and whenever a new version is published in the future, we will add it to the Hepsia Control Panel without removing the previous ones. In this way, you will be able to host all the websites that you’ve created through the years. In stark contrast with lots of other hosting providers, we won’t force you to update such sites, as a script may be outdated, but this does not automatically mean that it’s insecure since you may have modified its source code to plug security breaches. For your convenience, you’ll even be able to select a different PHP version for each single site that you host in your shared account.

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

Even if your websites were created with an older PHP version, you will be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, as we support different versions running simultaneously on our servers and each of them can be activated for your account with just a click of the mouse from our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel. Aside from the latest PHP 8, we also offer 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 vast majority of web hosting suppliers, but we believe that you shouldn’t be compelled to modify a site that took years to set up, as older scripting language syntax does not invariably imply safety loopholes. Just the opposite, a properly maintained website using PHP 4 can be more secure than an improperly maintained one using PHP 5. For your convenience’s sake, we’ll also offer you the possibility to choose a different version of PHP for each individual website within the account.
