The abbreviation stands for <em>&#8220;hypertext preprocessor&#8221;<\/em> and was <strong>developed back in 1994<\/strong>. It was still the early days of the commercial internet, and this new way of coding websites quickly gained immense support.\u00a0<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On <strong>26th November 2020<\/strong>, the PHP group released PHP 8.0 with loads of new features and management optimizations. Just a few days later, ScalaHosting is proud to become <strong>one of the first web hosting providers to offer PHP 8.0 on all SPanel <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scalahosting.com\/managed-cloud-hosting.html\"><strong>VPS servers<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what\"><strong>What&#8217;s New in PHP 8.0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the PHP developers are not adding speed and security boosters in their newest version, there are still many exciting features that may complement your website. Namely:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>JIT (Just-in-time) compilation<\/strong> &#8211; performance improvements for mathematical-type operations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Named arguments<\/strong> &#8211; specify required and optional parameters for smoother execution<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Attributes <\/strong>&#8211; utilize structured metadata with native PHP syntax instead of PHPDoc annotations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Match expressions<\/strong> &#8211; a compact match statement, similar to the switch statement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nullsafe operator <\/strong>&#8211; \u0430 new type of operator that utilizes a chain of calls instead of nullsafe conditions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is just a glimpse of what PHP 8.0 has in store for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 20px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"php\"><strong>ScalaHosting and PHP 8.0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you already are a ScalaHosting VPS client or thinking of becoming one, you now have the added benefit of having PHP 8.0 on your virtual server. That&#8217;s just another bonus to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scalahosting.com\/spanel.html\"><strong>user-friendly SPanel<\/strong><\/a>, <strong>free dedicated IP<\/strong>, and <strong>SSD storage<\/strong> that already come with each account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind, by default, our VPS servers come with <strong>PHP 7.3 enabled<\/strong>. Switching to 8.0 is amazingly easy. Simply follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Log in your <strong>SPanel<\/strong> with Scala<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to <strong>PHP Manager<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Select <\/strong>the needed PHP version and <strong>save the changes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s it, nothing more than a minute and a couple of mouse clicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, if you&#8217;re having troubles with that, you can always <strong>contact the ScalaHosting support 24\/7 via the internal ticketing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 20px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technology is constantly moving forward, and we have to evolve with it to be able to stay competitive. With the <strong>latest release of PHP 8.0<\/strong>, you can be among the first hosting clients to take advantage.
