PHP, which is a recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is one of the most commonly used imperative programming languages out there. Any website or web-based application based on PHP will run on a given server as long as a PHP module is installed, which renders the language absolutely universal and it’s not at all unusual that there are several million servers that support it and hundreds of millions of PHP websites hosted on them. PHP is preferred over HTML owing to the fact that it permits you to create a dynamic site with tons of different features. A PHP-based social networking website, for instance, will serve unique web content to each visitor even though the page URL will be the same. By contrast, HTML-based sites are static and the page content can be modified only manually. Just like any other piece of software, PHP has different versions and the version that was used while creating a particular website must be installed on the web server in order for the site to work correctly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Website Hosting
We’ve made a conscious decision not to prevent our present and future customers from picking what PHP version their websites will be using, which goes to say that if you purchase a shared website hosting plan from us, you’ll be able to choose between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the account itself, but also for each individual domain name hosted by you. This can be accomplished with only one single click through our custom Hepsia Control Panel via which all shared hosting accounts are managed, so you will not need any technical or coding skills. You will be able to manage sites built with both old and new PHP scripts without having to deal with any hindrances, so if you wish to abandon your present hosting services provider and switch over to us, you can rest assured that all the sites that you’ve set up through the years will continue to work impeccably.
