PHP, which is a meta-acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is among the most famous general-purpose server-side programming languages out there. Any website or web application created with PHP will run on a given server as long as a PHP module is installed, which renders the language absolutely universal and it is hardly unusual that there are actually a few million servers that support it and hundreds of millions of PHP sites running on them. PHP is preferred over HTML because it allows you to create a dynamic website with tons of different options. A PHP-based community web portal, for instance, will show different content to each user irrespective of the fact that the URL will be the same. In contrast, HTML-based sites are static and the page content can be updated only manually. Just like any other software program, PHP has several versions and the version that was used whilst setting up a particular website must be installed on the server in order for the site to behave correctly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Web Hosting
We’ve made the decision not to restrict our current and potential clients from choosing the PHP version that their sites will be using, which suggests that in case you get a shared web hosting package from us, you’ll be able to pick between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the web hosting account in general, but also for each single domain name hosted by you. This can be accomplished with just one single click of the mouse through our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel via which all accounts are managed, so you will not need to have any programming or technical experience. You will be able to run websites based on both new and old PHP-based scripts without having to overcome any hindrances, so if you’d like to drop your present hosting company and migrate over to us, you can be sure that all the sites that you’ve developed over the years will continue to work perfectly.
