PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support
What's the main difference between PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8? Why is it preferable to have them all available? How can you switch between them?
PHP, which is a recursive abbreviation for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is among the most popular general-purpose programming languages available out there. Any site or web application created using PHP will run on a given web server on the condition that a PHP module is enabled, which renders the language absolutely universal and it isn’t very unusual that there are a couple of million servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP-powered websites hosted on them. PHP is preferred over HTML because it enables you to develop a responsive website with a multitude of different options. A PHP-based social network, for instance, will show unique web content to each visitor even though the page URL will remain the same. By contrast, HTML websites are static and the page content can be edited only manually. Just like any other piece of software, PHP has several versions and the one that was used while building a certain website must be present on the web server in order for the site to work faultlessly.

PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Hosting
We have reached a decision not to prevent our present and future customers from picking the PHP version that their websites will use, which means that in case you get a
hosting package from us, you will be able to choose between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the hosting account in general, but also for each individual domain name that you host. This can be done with only one click of the mouse through our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel via which all shared accounts are managed, so you will not need to have any programming or technical experience. You will be able to manage websites based on both new and old scripts without hassles, so if you’d like to abandon your current web hosting services provider and migrate over to us, you can rest assured that all the sites that you have developed throughout the years will continue to run correctly.

PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
We are of the strong opinion that several years spent setting up a site should not be lost, which means that if you order a
semi-dedicated server from our company, you’ll be able to use any script, no matter if it’s new or old. In contrast to a lot of web hosting companies, we support several different PHP versions on our state-of-the-art cloud platform – 4, 5 and 7. Not only will you have the ability to activate the version that you need from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, but you’ll also have the option to set a different version for each single website. This can be done simply by placing an .htaccess file into the root folder of the given site. You can change the current version either for a single website or for the entire account and the update will be applied in less than a few minutes. With our web hosting services, you can be sure that you won’t ever chance upon any site incompatibility hindrances.
