PHP in web hosting is a server-side computer language used to configure the display and functionality of web pages. The term “PHP” is an acronym for the term “PHP Hypertext Preprocessor.” The PHP language is open source and free to use, unlike proprietary web programming languages, such as ASP and C#. Proprietary languages must be interpreted by licensed server software, such as Windows Server, whereas PHP runs on open source servers, such as Apache. However, PHP can also run on proprietary web servers as well. PHP code pages can be identified by the “.php” file extension, according to PHP.net. Many of the open source web applications, such as WordPress, Joomla and Drupal are written in the PHP language. Additionally, open source ecommerce packages like OSCommerce and Zen Cart are written with PHP code. In short, the majority of web pages on the Internet are most likely programmed using PHP.

Overselling is one of the common business practices that is prominent in many industries like travel industry, telecommunications industry, hospitality industry, IT industry etc. The technique of overselling is practiced for getting the maximum return on investment. The path of overselling is laid on the expectation that the customers will not take complete advantage of the resources available to them and they might cancel their services or bookings. The company sells more than the readily available resources and this ensures that the gap created in between the average use of the resources and the maximum allocation limit is filled. In some industries overselling is regulated and in case the customers are denied a service that they were expecting from the company, the company is liable to give compensation to the customers. This is a grey area of businesses that is used for maximizing ROI. The practice of overselling also prevails in the web hosting industry and it has almost the same ...
