PHP Based Web Hosting should be used if you used PHP in your web design.

PHP can be run on any platform; Linux, Windows, or Unix since it is a server side language. It is the PHP Based Web Hosting server that is reading and interpreting the code, not your computer. The results of the PHP code are changed into HTML and sent to the client.

A PHP hosting server treats PHP pages the same as HTML pages are treated. If you have used or plan to use PHP in your web design it is recommended that you find a service provider that has activated support for files with the extension of ".php" at the end. The PHP web hosting server recognizes PHP code that is embedded in HTML by the start and end 'php' tags.

One reason to make sure that your host is set up to recognize PHP code is because if they are not, your website's visitors will not be able to see what has been done in PHP, your pages will not load the way they should, leaving them with gaping holes where the PHP code is.

There are over nineteen different types of databases that PHP can be used to connect with, like Access, oracle and Microsoft. The most popular database that is used with PHP is MySQL. Any hosting provider that will support PHP will most likely be MySQL hosting enabled as well.

Use PHP to set up the cookie feature, which saves your website visitors from having to re enter the same information over and over again.

If it's the Linux platform you prefer, we offer PHP 4 and PHP 5 based web hosting on it.
