PHP is one of the most commonly used coding languages. It’s exceptionally popular since it is free software, which you can use to build responsive sites such as community sites, Internet shops or e-learning websites instead of static HTML sites. A PHP module must be enabled on the web server where a PHP-driven site is hosted so that its PHP code can be ‘decrypted’. Because there are no license charges for this kind of module and the language itself offers unlimited possibilities for the web applications that you set up, there are hundreds of millions of PHP sites. What’s more, there are numerous PHP scripts, which you can use for your websites without the need to possess any programming abilities. Given the fact that there are a number of PHP versions, you need to check whether the same exact version that you used while building your site is present on the web server as well.

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

If you buy a shared web hosting plan from our company, you’ll never need to ponder on whether your websites are compatible with the web hosting environment, since several versions of PHP are supported on our servers for the sake of your convenience. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to choose PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with just one single click of the mouse and in case you need to change the current version, the update will take effect instantaneously. Thus, years of work on websites created with an older version of PHP won’t go down the tubes. Our hosting platform will even permit you to use a different version of PHP for each domain hosted in your account, which goes to say that you can run older and newer scripts at the same time. Most web hosting providers on the marketplace offer one, sometimes two versions of PHP. In contrast with them, we strongly reckon that you should be the one to pick the version that your own websites will use.
