About PHP Hosting

PHP, which stands for Hypertext Preprocessor, is an open source, server-side scripting language used to create dynamic Web pages that can interact with databases. PHP tags are usually embedded in HTML pages, and can be used on both Windows and Unix servers.

PHP hosting is any hosting plan on a server that is configured to run PHP pages. There is no setup required to start using PHP with these Web hosts. Usually, if you simply upload PHP pages they will work immediately.

PHP hosting is widely supported these days, and usually comes with MySQL, an open-source relational database often used in conjunction with PHP. The best PHP hosting services we have found are listed on this page.
