PHP, which is a recursive abbreviation for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is one of the most commonly used general-purpose server-side coding languages available out there. Any website or Internet app written in PHP will run on a given web server as long as a PHP module is installed, which makes the language truly universal and it is scarcely surprising that there are several million web servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP-powered sites running on them. PHP is preferred over HTML because of the fact that it permits you to develop a dynamic serving website with a lot of different options. A PHP-based social networking site, for example, will show different content to each visitor despite the fact that the page URL will be the same. By contrast, HTML websites are static and the page content itself can be edited only manually. Just like any other software program, PHP has several versions and the one that was used while developing a certain website must be present on the web server in order for the site to behave faultlessly.
PHP 4, PHP 5 and PHP 7 Support in Cloud Web Hosting
If you purchase a cloud web hosting package from us, you’ll never have to ponder on whether your sites are compatible with the web hosting environment, since we offer support for different PHP versions for your convenience’s sake. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to choose PHP 4, PHP 5 and PHP 7 with just one click and if you need to change the version, the update will be applied right away. In this way, years of work on sites built with an older version won’t be in vain. Our hosting platform will even allow you to use a different PHP version for each domain name hosted in your account, so you can run newer and older scripts simultaneously. Most hosting companies on the marketplace support one, sometimes two versions of PHP. In contrast to them, we strongly consider that you should be the one to pick the version that will be used by your own sites.
PHP 4, PHP 5 and PHP 7 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our Linux semi-dedicated packages support multiple PHP versions, which implies that you’ll be able to run all the web applications that you have built throughout the years. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with every single semi-dedicated server account, will allow you to activate the required version with one single mouse click. You can choose between PHP 4, PHP 5 and PHP 7. In case you want to host multiple sites under one account and they have various requirements in respect to the web hosting platform, you’ll be able to pick a different version for each and every one of them no matter which version is selected for the account itself. This is accomplishable thanks to our in-house built cloud platform, which permits us to run multiple versions of PHP simultaneously. In comparison, most web hosting providers normally support one, in extremely rare cases – two versions.
