It's been possible to locally compile and run PHP 5 on shared Pair 
accounts since, well.. since PHP 5 was released. So you could always 
have done that. Or if that didn't appeal, they offer PHP 5 in CGI form 
which you can copy to your local cgi-bin and use. Again this has been 
around for years now.


But re: your question, if you read the Insider newsletter they send out 
(http://insider.pair.com) it tells you all about their new FreeBSD 6.2 
roll-out plans, and the hundreds (if not thousands) of new enhancements 
it'll bring to all servers, including PHP 5.2.2 (and 4.4.7 as CGI), new 
MySQL upgrades, SVN, Perl updates, hundreds of new CPAN modules, etc.


Have a read, I think you'll like what you see. They estimate roll-out in 
the next 2 to 4 weeks.


Cheers,

Rich

[PHP] Need a new shared host with php

2007-05-10 Thread Al

I'm looking for a shared host with an up-to-date php5, and one who at least 
tries to keep it relatively current.

Needs are modest.  Just need good ftp access, cgi-bin, shell, etc.

Any suggestions. I'm looking at Host Monster, anyone have experience with them?

Thanks...

I use host monster for last year and never had a problem with them. Have 
one account with 8 domains/web sites. None has big traffic.
Though, one of web sites is my personal site with Gallery2 installed. 
When uploading chunk of 10 or 20 images (king size) after is DONE I 
would get a message that I'm using processor more then I could and it 
will keep me out for couple minutes before I can continue. Though, my 
web site is still up, just I can't do anything. And, every time whole 
process was finished without interruption or with error. Strange thing 
(never had similar before) but it doesn't bother me a lot.


Agree with Edward, VPS is better solution - if possible.

I used pair.com for a while. Pricey but VERY GOOD.

I've used http://phpwebhosting.com for several years, they're quite
good, and for $10/month they offer what you're looking for.  They're
stuck on php 5.12, though.

I know a guy who knows the guy behind http://dataslab.com.  That seems
like a pretty darn good deal($20/month), though I've not really
researched the VPS market.

You might want to look at Canadawebhosting.com.  It's located in 
Vancuver and Toronto.  If you pay in $US you get the advantage of the 
higher US dollar.  It's an excellent service for VPS and stand-alone 
server access.  I've used them for both over a period of about 4 years.

I'll throw my plug in here for Pair Networks too. Sure, you can get 
cheaper, but they run a really tight ship there - great network, great 
servers, great support. Have been with them since 1996 (!!) and they've 
been brilliant all this time and I've now plans on leaving.


They're about to roll-out PHP 5.2.2 across all of their servers too. And 
if their 'usual' accounts are too expensive, they've just launched this:


http://www.pairlite.com

Which is only $10 / month and I'd wager perfect for what you need.

Cheers,

Rich
