PHP is among the most widely used reflective programming languages. It’s highly popular since it’s free software, which you can use to build interactive sites like social networking websites, shopping portals or online learning sites rather than static HTML websites. A PHP module should be available on the web server where a PHP website is hosted so that its source code can be ‘decrypted’. Since there are no license fees for this type of module and the language provides incalculable possibilities for the applications that you build, there’re 100s of millions of PHP sites. Moreover, there are tons of PHP scripts, which you can use for your sites without the need to possess any coding skills. Given the fact that there are a number of versions of PHP, you should make certain that the very same version that you used while creating your website is activated on the server too.

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

Our shared hosting servers support several versions of PHP, which suggests that your websites will work flawlessly no matter if your PHP scripts are outdated. We acknowledge the fact that an old website doesn’t necessarily imply a vulnerable one as you may have done a lot of code modifications. This is why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can select which version will be enabled for your account. The version can be changed with just one mouse click within your Hepsia Control Panel and the new settings will be applied instantly. If you’d like to run both older and newer scripts, there is even a possibility to use a different PHP version for each of your domains at the same time.

PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Even in case your sites were built with an older PHP version, you’ll be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, since we support multiple versions running at the same time on our semi-dedicated servers and each of them can be activated for your account with no more than a click of the mouse through our custom Hepsia Control Panel. Other than the newest PHP 8, we also offer support for 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and the older PHP 4, which has already been dropped by the great majority of hosting vendors, but we reckon that you shouldn’t be compelled to modify a site that took several years to develop, since older script language syntax does not inevitably suggest security weaknesses. Quite the opposite, an adequately maintained website using PHP 4 can be more secure than an unmaintained one using PHP 5. For your convenience, we’ll also give you the possibility to select a different version for each site within your account.
