Re: PHP 5.3 shared hosting

Hi, I've developed a framework that requires PHP 5.3 (it takes a more functional approach.) I'm hosting my own apps on a dedicated server running cpanel (thanks to their recent upgrade.) However, for client work I prefer not to personally host the websites. I've been contacting hosts about their shared hosting options, and I've only found a couple that accommodate PHP 5.3 so far. Anybody have recommendations for shared hosting providers that are supporting php 5.3 (many of the smaller sites I'm working with don't merit a VPS?) Thank you very much for your help, Adam

I would suggest pointing your clients at something like linode that allows them to run whatever they hell they want to run. I'm running CentOS 5.x w/ php 5.2.12 for example. I need to update them, but if you want, here are some php 5.3 src.rpm's that can be used to build php 5.3 on a CentOS / RHEL 5.x system - http://www.clfsrpm.net/php/ Running a xen instance is a lot nicer than shared hosting, and not really that expensive, and is really preferable to "shared hosting".
