PHP, which is a metacronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is amongst the most widely used dynamic programming languages that are available out there. Any site or web application created with PHP will run on a given web server as long as a PHP module is activated, which makes the language absolutely universal and it’s not really all that surprising that there are a few million web servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP sites running on them. PHP is preferred over HTML because it allows you to build a responsive site with a myriad of options. A PHP-based community website, for instance, will display unique content to each visitor although the URL will not change. By contrast, HTML websites are static and the page content itself can be edited only manually. Like any other piece of software, PHP has different versions and the version that was used while setting up a certain website must be available on the web server in order for the site to behave faultlessly.

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

Our shared hosting servers support different PHP versions, which suggests that your sites will work flawlessly even if your PHP-based scripts are out of date. We realize that an old website does not automatically suggest a vulnerable one as you may have performed a lot of code modifications. That’s why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can select which one will be active for your hosting account. You can change the version with just one single mouse click from your Hepsia Control Panel and the new settings will be applied momentarily. If you would like to run both newer and older scripts, there is even a possibility to use a different version of PHP for each of your domain names at the same time.
