PHP hosting provides support for the PHP open source scripting language. PHP is supported by both our
Linux and Windows hosting packages. As a scripting language it enables web developers to create dynamic
websites that function very flexibly when compared to websites that have been developed using simple
static HTML web pages. It is also the base for popular web applications that you may already be using
including the WordPress blogging application. The core basics of PHP hosting are available for pretty
much any operating system. A PHP hosting package provides the ideal solution if you wish to create
websites that not only look great, but also are highly efficient at processing data dynamically.

What makes PHP so popular? |
|
PHP tends to be the server-side scripting language of choice for developers that have not gone down the Microsoft career path.
Stemming from the open-source movement, PHP offers good interaction with MySQL databases which when combined allow developers
to create powerful website applications that can provide a high level of functionality, scalability and reliability. Facebook
is a good example of such a large-scale system build upon PHP and MySQL technologies. Being open source means it is often favoured
for such large scale applications due to the vast savings on license costs as can often be an issue with other development
technologies.

What web hosting package would you recommend for a PHP website? |
|
PHP was originally designed to run on Linux and consequently tends to run slightly better on a Linux based operating system. As
such we recommend either our Linux Plus, Ultimate or any of our Linux Reseller packages for PHP hosting. Although low cost,
these Linux hosting packages provide you with the features needed to support the hosting of a PHP based website along with
support for MySQL databases. However, if you have a distinct requirement for a Windows-only feature then you can still choose
one of our Windows based ASP Plus, Ultimate or Windows Reseller hosting packages which too support PHP in addition to Microsoft
based technologies such as ASP, ASP.NET and SQL Server.
