PHP, which is a recursive abbreviation for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is among the most famous open-source server-side programming languages that are available out there. Any website or web app written in PHP will run on a given server on the condition that a PHP module is installed, which makes the language really universal and it’s not really that surprising that there are a couple of million web servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP-driven websites hosted on them. PHP is preferred over HTML because of the fact that it permits you to create a dynamic serving site with a large number of features. A PHP-based social networking website, for example, will display unique content to each visitor regardless of the fact that the page URL will not change. In comparison, HTML websites are static and the content on the pages can be edited only manually. Like any other software, PHP has several versions and the one that was used while setting up a specific website must be set up on the server in order for the site to run faultlessly.

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

Our shared hosting servers support different versions of PHP, which goes to say that your websites will run properly no matter if your PHP-based scripts are outdated. We recognize the fact that an old website does not automatically equal an insecure one as you may have implemented plenty of source code modifications. That’s why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can decide which version will be enabled for your shared web hosting account. You can change the version with just one single mouse click via your Hepsia Control Panel and the new settings will take effect instantly. 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 domain of yours simultaneously.
