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 better to have them all at hand? How do you switch between them?
PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, commonly called PHP, is a popular server-side programming language, which is used to develop dynamic websites with interactive elements like discussion forums, e-teaching portals or community websites. In contrast with static HTML sites, a PHP-powered site can serve different content to each user under the same URL. As PHP-based applications can be managed via one Control Panel, which you can log in to using any online browser, you won’t need to possess any web design capabilities or prior experience whatsoever in order to run a PHP-driven site. The fact that 100s of millions of websites all over the globe are based on PHP is indicative of the popularity and the ease of use of the language. You must only check if the server where you host your website supports the same PHP version as the one that you used whilst building the website.

hosting servers support different PHP versions, which means that your sites will work properly even if your PHP-based scripts are out of date.

The version can be changed with only one mouse click through your Hepsia Control Panel and the update will be applied right away. In case you would like to run both older and newer scripts, there is even an option to use a different PHP version for each of your domain names at the same time.

PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our
semi-dedicated services support multiple versions of PHP, which suggests that you will be able to use all the Internet apps that you have set up through the years. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each single semi-dedicated server account, will permit you to set the needed version with one single click of the mouse. You can pick between PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. In case you want to host multiple websites under one account and they have different requirements as to the web hosting platform, you will be able to pick a different PHP version for each one of them irrespective of which version is selected for the account itself. That’s accomplishable thanks to our custom-built cloud hosting platform, which permits us to run multiple PHP versions simultaneously. By contrast, the vast majority of hosting suppliers typically offer one, in extremely rare cases – two versions.
