PHP, which is a bacronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is one of the most popular open-source scripting languages out there. Any site or app created using PHP will run on a given server on the condition that a PHP module is activated, which makes the language really universal and it is not a surprise that there are actually several million web servers that support it and hundreds of millions of PHP-powered websites hosted on them. PHP is preferred over HTML because it permits you to create a dynamic serving website with a plethora of options. A PHP-based community website, for instance, will display unique content to each visitor irrespective of the fact that the URL will stay the same. In comparison, HTML sites are static and the page content can be edited only manually. Like any other software program, PHP has several versions and the one that was used while setting up a specific website must be enabled on the web server in order for the site to work properly.

In case you buy a web hosting plan from our company, you’ll never have to speculate as to whether or not your sites are compatible with the web hosting environment, since multiple PHP versions are installed on our servers for your convenience. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to select PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with just one single click of the mouse and in case you would like to change the current version, the update will be applied momentarily. Thus, years of work on sites built with an older version won’t be lost. Our hosting platform will even permit you to use a different version of PHP for each domain name hosted in your account, which implies that you can run older and newer scripts simultaneously. Most web hosting providers on the marketplace offer support for one, sometimes for two versions of PHP. Unlike them, we are convinced that you should be the one to pick the version that your own websites will use.
