Hypertext Preprocessor hosting is another way of saying there is PHP running as a language on a web server. It is used to create dynamic web pages. And is generally used to create HTML before it is sent to the user’s web browser.
The command to execute the PHP code is sent to the server. Which then runs and creates HTML. Which is sent to the web browser of the user in the same way that any other type of data would be sent to the web browser. In many cases, PHP is used along with MySQL. It has the PHP code to fetch data from a MySQL database. And this data is put into the HTML where the server passes it on to wherever it is supposed to go.
The main benefit of PHP hosting
Most will tell you that the biggest benefit is that it allows you to run dynamic web pages. You can change and alter the way that the information is presented to the user via the PHP rules you set up. Used with MySQL you can create a more unique user experience for each user. This means you also get all of the added benefits that come with dynamic websites. Such as them being easier and more convenient to update.
With PHP you are able to store information from a client session. This collected information may be used again at a later date if the user returns. It allows the users to return and continue down the funnels that you may have set up, or take a look at the things that are still in the shopping cart. There may also be loading-time benefits too.
There are lots of PHP hosting uses
You have to remember that PHP code is quite usable in itself. You are not limited when it comes to creating and using web-based applications, including the more commonly seen services such as XML and RSS services. If you are looking to create a more modern website then PHP hosting is probably the best choice for you.
A bit of background on PHP
It is written in a similar fashion to Perl and can, which means you will not have to declare variables before they are used. Plus, it has grown to become an Object Orientated Programming language. Many of the world’s most popular websites are based on PHP, including Facebook and Twitter, and many content management system programs incorporate PHP such as Joomla, Magento, and WordPress.
