PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, typically referred to as PHP, is a popular open-source server-side scripting language, which is used to build dynamic websites with interactive features such as bulletin boards, online learning sites or community portals. In contrast with static HTML sites, a PHP-powered site can display different web content to each visitor under the same page URL. Given the fact that PHP-based Internet apps can be managed through a Control Panel tool, which you can log in to from any browser, you won’t need to possess any coding capabilities or prior experience whatsoever in order to maintain a PHP-driven website. The fact that hundreds of millions of websites all over the globe are built using PHP is indicative of the language’s popularity and ease of use. You only ought to verify if the web server on which your site is hosted supports the same exact version of PHP as the one that you used whilst developing the site.

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

If you’ve got a site built on an earlier PHP version and you have spent time and effort setting it up, fixing safety gaps and embedding web content, you will need to find a web hosting service that can support it, as the vast majority of hosting vendors these days offer support only for the latest version of PHP and abandon the older versions. We, however, have decided to allow you to choose the version that your websites need. Our semi-dedicated hosting plans support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which implies that you’ll be able to run both newer and older scripts without losing any custom tweaks or wasting time struggling to make your websites compatible with the hosting environment. The version can be changed through the Hepsia Control Panel and such a change will apply to the entire semi-dedicated account, but you’ll also be able to pick a different version of PHP for each individual site that you host in your account by using an .htaccess configuration file.
