    Request: Simple Webhosting

    I'm currently hosted with MrPanda.net, but I'm looking to switch to another host. MrPanda's service is by far one of the best I've ever been on, but the downside is that PHP5 isn't implemented. As some of you might know, PHP5 is a major update from the 4.x series, offering more OOP capabilities and better security. As you might have guessed, I'm going to request PHP5. Below is the technical mumbojumbo that I'm requesting.
    • Space: 50mb minimum.
    • Bandwidth: I'm not an expert on bandwidth, so I don't really have a requirement for it. I know that my personal website won't recieve massive amounts of traffic.
    • Server-Side Languages: MySQL and PHP5. I only need 1 MySQL database.
    • Control Panel: cPanel is a plus since I'm so used to it, but I'm open to other panels, as long as it doesn't take searching in order to figure out where phpMyAdmin is. There's just one panel that I absolutely abhor, LayeredPanel. I would be fine with LayeredPanel if all filetypes were allowed (except for the obvious of .exe and other common banned filetypes), but in my experience, most common PHP-related filetypes (such a .inc and .phtml) aren't allowed.
    • FTP: One account is fine.
    • Ads: Textlinks or customizable buttons, or non-intrusive (meaning banners that aren't huge) AdSense banners that are customizable. No ads requirement is plus.

    I strongly suggest you upgrade to PHP5. I believe all PHP4.x scripts work under PHP5, but I may be mistaken. I see many paid hosting services that have dual PHP4 and 5 installations.

    Thanks for the suggestion. We do have a PHP5 server but right now all hosting slots are full.
