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? How come it's best to have them all available? How can you switch between them?
PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, otherwise called PHP, is a popular open-source programming language, which can be used to create dynamic sites with interactive elements such as discussion boards, e-teaching portals or social networks. In comparison with static HTML-based websites, a PHP-driven website can display unique web content to each user under the same URL. Because of the fact that PHP-based web-based apps can be managed through one single Control Panel tool, which you can log on to using any Internet browser, you won’t need any computer programming expertise or practical experience to run a PHP-driven website. The fact that 100s of millions of sites worldwide are built using PHP is indicative of the popularity and the simplicity of use of the language. You only have to verify if the web server where you host your site supports the same PHP version as the one that you used whilst creating the website.

PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Website Hosting
If you buy a
website hosting plan from our company, you won’t ever have to ponder whether your sites are compatible with the hosting platform, as different versions of PHP are installed on our servers for your convenience’s sake. The Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to select PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with just one mouse click and in case you need to change the current version, the new settings will be applied momentarily. Thus, many years of work on websites created with an older PHP version will not be in vain. Our web hosting platform will even allow you to use a different PHP version for each domain name hosted in your account, which means that you can use newer and older scripts at the same time. Most hosting companies on the market offer support for one, sometimes for two PHP versions. In stark contrast with them, we hold that you should be the one to choose the version that will be used by your very own sites.
