PHP is amongst the most widely used server-side coding languages. It is highly popular since it’s free software, which can be used to create interactive sites like social networks, web shops or online teaching sites as opposed to static HTML sites. A PHP module should be available on the server where a PHP-powered site is hosted so that its source code can be ‘decrypted’. Because there aren’t any license fees for such a module and the language provides unlimited possibilities for the web-based apps that you set up, there’re hundreds of millions of PHP-powered sites. Plus, there are numerous open-source PHP scripts, which you can use for your sites without the need to possess any programming skills. As there are a number of PHP versions, you ought to verify if the very same version that you used while creating your website is available on the web server too.

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

With our shared website hosting, you’ll be able to choose the version of PHP that will be enabled for your shared account, since different versions are available on our servers. With only one click of the mouse, you will be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and every time a new version is introduced in the future, we’ll add it to the Hepsia hosting Control Panel without removing the older ones. Thus, you’ll be able to host all the websites that you’ve created throughout the years. In contrast to lots of other hosting suppliers, we will not compel you to update such sites, because a script may be outdated, but this doesn’t automatically mean that it is insecure as you may have tweaked its code to fill security gaps. For your convenience, you will even be able to select a different PHP version for each individual website hosted in your hosting account.
