PHP, which is a metacronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is amongst the most widely used coding languages that are available out there. Any site or application created in PHP will run on a given web server provided that a PHP module is activated, which renders the language really universal and it’s small wonder that there are several million web servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP-powered websites running on them. PHP is preferred over HTML owing to the fact that it enables you to build a dynamic website with plenty of features. A PHP-based community site, for instance, will serve different content to each user although the page URL will stay the same. In contrast, HTML websites are static and the page content can be edited only manually. Like any other piece of software, PHP has different versions and the one that was used whilst creating a specific website must be set up on the web server so that the site can run correctly.

Our web hosting servers support different versions of PHP, which suggests that your websites will work flawlessly even if your PHP scripts are out of date. We realize that an old website does not necessarily imply a vulnerable one as you may have performed a lot of source code modifications. This is the reason why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can choose which one will be active for your web hosting account. The version can be changed with a single mouse click in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the new settings will take effect straight away. In case you’d like to run both older and newer scripts, there is even an option to use a different PHP version for each domain of yours simultaneously.
