Intro

It looks complicated and yet it is super easy…

Please keep in mind

Regardless of the company hosting your website, make sure you have the latest PHP version.

Once Debian announces that they no longer support a version of PHP, Xneelo will remove this option from the tool. It is therefore imperative that you do what is necessary to ensure that your site is compatible with the latest version of PHP. And as mentioned above this is something you can easily do yourself.

What is PHP?

PHP is a powerful, server-side scripting language that can be used to extend the functionality of your pages. PHP is the programming language that most of the WordPress codebase is written in. Other languages and technologies used include JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. You don’t have to learn PHP but it is important that you update your WordPress website to the latest version of PHP.
