PHP, which is a recursive initialism for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is amongst the most widely used reflective programming languages available out there. Any site or web app based on PHP will run on a given web server provided that a PHP module is installed, which renders the language really universal and it is not really a surprise that there are a couple of million web servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP-driven websites running on them. PHP is preferred over HTML because it allows you to develop a dynamic website with numerous features. A PHP-based community portal, for example, will serve different web content to each visitor in spite of the fact that the URL will remain unchanged. On the other hand, HTML websites are static and the page content itself can be modified only manually. Just like any other piece of software, PHP has several versions and the one that was used while setting up a given website must be present on the server in order for the site to work correctly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Web Hosting
Our web hosting servers support different PHP versions, which goes to say that your sites will run flawlessly even if your PHP-based scripts are out of date. We accept the fact that an old website does not inevitably mean a vulnerable one as you may have implemented plenty of code mods. That’s the reason why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can choose which version will be active for your web hosting account. You can change the version with only one click of the mouse via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the new settings will take effect straight away. In case you want to run both newer and older scripts, there is even a possibility to use a different version of PHP for each of your domain names at the same time.
