PHP is among the most widely used object-oriented programming languages. It’s rather popular because it’s free software, which can be used to set up interactive sites such as community web portals, shopping portals or school websites instead of static HTML sites. A PHP module must be available on the server where a PHP-driven website is hosted so that its code can be ‘decoded’. Because there aren’t any license fees for this sort of module and the language provides innumerable possibilities for the applications that you create, there’re 100s of millions of PHP websites. Also, there are a ton of PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your sites without needing to have any programming abilities. Since there’re a couple of PHP versions, you must ensure that the same version that you used while creating your website is available on the server as well.
PHP 4 and PHP 5 Support in Cloud Hosting
We have made a conscious decision not to prevent our present and prospective clients from selecting the PHP version that will be used by their sites, so in case you purchase a cloud hosting package from our company, you’ll be able to select between versions 5.5, 5.4, 5.3, 5.2 and 4, not only for the hosting account as a whole, but also for each individual domain that you host. This can be accomplished with just one click from our custom Hepsia Control Panel via which all accounts are administered, so you will not have to possess any technical or programming capabilities. You will be able to run sites built with both old and new PHP scripts without having to overcome any obstacles, so if you wish to change your present hosting provider and move over to us, you can be certain that all the websites that you have created over the years will continue to run perfectly.
PHP 4 and PHP 5 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you’ve got a site created using a previous version of PHP and you’ve dedicated time and effort to setting it up, filling safety breaches and inputting page content, you will need a hosting service that can support it, since nearly all hosting companies today support only the most recently published version of PHP and remove the earlier ones. We, on the other hand, have decided to let you choose the version that your very own sites need. Our semi-dedicated hosting plans support multiple versions of PHP 5 and PHP 4, which suggests that you’ll be able to run both older and newer scripts without forfeiting any customizations or misspending time and efforts striving to make your sites compatible with the hosting platform. You can change the version via the Hepsia Control Panel and such a change will apply to the whole semi-dedicated account, but you will also have the ability to pick a different version for each single website that you host in your account using an .htaccess config file.
