I'm looking for shared reseller account with PHP5 support and loadable modules related to XML and images enabled. I also need MySql support. My current host is Dathorn nad though they have been awesome for the last several years, they don't even have plans for upgrading to PHP5 and dont even have domxml enabled for PHP4. I'm a developer by profession and all my work for the next two years is working with XML in PHP. I self-teach by playing with hobby sites. Recommendations? Right now I'm paying ~$15/month for 4GIG space and 60GIG bandwidth with a reseller account.

Thanks.

Are you sure PHP5 is worth leaving Dathorn for? When I used them in the past, it was an extremely good provider...

If you really need PHP5, there's starting to be alot of hosts offering it. Just look thru the offers section.

Like I said. All the work I'm doing for the next two years is utilizing XML within PHP. Can you recommend a good PHP5 host?

Try Host Quote or as Anthony said, browse the offers forum.

For now, searching for php5 seems to be quite a limiting factor in terms of available, time tested hosting options. Somehow I think you could look for a good VPS provider, get the VPS that suits your needs and then install php5 (and any other things you'd like to play with) yourself. Though this is not going to be cheap, at least when compared to the $15 you're paying now, maybe it can be a plan B? :)

I'd highly recommend submitting your hosting requirements to HostVoice.com. Your hosting requirements are fairly generic and most hosts will be able to cover them. A lot of companies bidding for your patronage means lower prices for you :)

Good luck finding a new web host!

Are you sure about that?

I signed up with VARHosting. They have PHP5 but you have to name PHP5 files with the PHP5 extension. WHM/CPanel server was acting flaky last night. We'll see.

Tell them to change your account to default .php as PHP5 in their httpd.conf file. Or depending on their setup they could use the htacess file to set accounts to use PHP5 as .php

It's a little bit more complicated than that because both php4 and php5 are on the same server. php4 is running with suphp (cgi) and php5 is as well (cgi).

sswebhost.com offers PHP5.

Are you sure about that?

Yup they just recently started dual running php4/php5 on their servers, not all of them yet but you can request it.

Webonce.com offers PHP4 and PHP5 :)

Network Redux (http://www.networkredux.com) is a really awesome reseller host that offers PHP5. I use them currently and their service is great. They have PHP4 + PHP5 combo, which is nice because my old scripts run fine plus I can make new object-oriented scripts.

We have PHP5 and PHP4 running on the same server, with suphp (both cgi). Obviously the default .php extension refers to the php4 binary and .php5 will get you the php5 binary. We don't have this in production yet, so I can't tell you how well the servers are handling it, but we did put it in production for another company and it's working great for them, for about 3 months now.

And now you see one of the hardest parts of choosing a host when you become a developer. Even when everything looks the same, not all PHP installs are equal.

One thing I may recommend, is asking to see the phpinfo() output from the different installations. Also, with PHP 5.1 out now, you may want to ensure your new host is running that, as opposed to the PHP 5.0.x line. But that all depends on your needs.

Also as you are looking into hosts, check and see how they react to requests of installing PEAR/other (compiled) modules. If you haven't looked into PEAR during your testing, I highly recommend you take a look, as there are quite a few XML related instruments there as well, which could help with your endeavor, though that often depends on the aims of your code and the compatablity to your particular programming style.

I wish you the best on your hunt, and am sure you will be happy with many of those recommended to you previously. :)
