PHP, which is an initialism for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is amongst the most commonly used scripting languages available out there. Any website or Internet application built using PHP will run on a given web server on the condition that a PHP module is activated, which makes the language absolutely universal and it isn’t really all that surprising that there are a few million web servers that support it and hundreds of millions of PHP-powered sites hosted on them. PHP is preferred over HTML due to the fact that it permits you to build a dynamic website with loads of different features. A PHP-based social networking site, for instance, will serve different web content to each user although the URL will not change. In comparison, HTML sites are static and the page content can be updated only manually. Just like any other software, PHP has several versions and the version that was used whilst building a particular website must be available on the server in order for the site to run faultlessly.

We recognize the fact that an old site does not always suggest a vulnerable one as you may have implemented lots of mods to its source code. This is why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can pick which version will be active for your web hosting account. The version can be changed with one single click of the mouse in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the update will take effect straight away.
