PHP Web Hosting
What
is PHP and what is PHP web hosting?
PHP is
a server-side, cross-platform, HTML embedded scripting language
that lets you create dynamic web pages. PHP-enabled web
pages are treated just like regular HTML pages and you can
create and edit them the same way you normally create regular
HTML pages.
PHP is one of
the most popular scripting languages used to create dynamic
functions on websites. Because of the popularity of PHP scripts,
they are supported by just about every web host. All of the web
hosts that we recommend support PHP scripts even with their most
basic plans except for Yahoo web
|
hosting. Yahoo web hosting does
provide PHP support for all plans above their $11.95/month starter plan,
but unfortunately Yahoo doesn't provide PHP support with their starter
plan.

hosts which all suppport PHP
How do I find a good PHP web host?
Almost
every web host supports PHP with all of their hosting plans.
Finding a good PHP web host is really only a matter of
finding a good web host. All of our top web hosts hosting
plans except for Yahoo web hosting in their starter plan
support PHP, and they are all very good web hosts. Please
read our web
hosting reviews to see which web host that is best
suited for your website.
What
are the benefits of using PHP?
PHP allows
website owners to capture information from forms, make content
updates easier, store information in a database, test and
track sales, personalize the content on the site to different
readers, and many more dynamic features that aren’t
possible with static html.
Is
PHP support available with most web hosting plans?
Yes, it
is. As with CGI support, it is very difficult to find a
web host that doesn't support PHP. PHP is so common that
if a web host didn't offer PHP support at all, they would probably
go out of business quite quickly.
Please read our
web hosting reviews.
All of the companies that we review support PHP.
Yahoo web hosting's starter plan is
the only plan on this site that does not support PHP. Yahoo
supports PHP, but not in their starter plan.
