PHP is one of the most widely used curly-brace programming languages. It’s rather popular because it’s free software, which you can use to create interactive websites such as community websites, online shops or online teaching websites as opposed to static HTML websites. A PHP module must be available on the web server where a PHP site is hosted so that its code can be ‘decrypted’. As there are no license fees for such a module and the language offers incalculable options for the web-based applications that you build, there are 100s of millions of PHP-powered websites. Besides, there are a myriad of PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your sites without needing to have any programming capabilities. Given the fact that there are a couple of versions of PHP, you must check whether the same version that you used while building your website is available on the server as well.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Web Hosting
Our shared web hosting servers support different PHP versions, which suggests that your sites will work without any problems no matter if your PHP-based scripts are out of date. We know that an old site doesn’t inevitably imply an insecure one as you may have performed a lot of code modifications. That is why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can select which version will be enabled for your shared hosting account. The version can be changed with one single click of the mouse via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the update will be applied right away. If you would like to run both newer and older scripts, there’s even a possibility to use a different PHP version for each of your domains simultaneously.
