PHP4 has reached an "end of life" status with the developers and as such Hands-on Web Hosting is also phasing out our PHP/MySQL 4 servers. We will continue to keep PHP/MySQL 4 servers until summer 2008, at which point the accounts will be migrated to newer servers.
If you are currently on a php4 machine, you may request the move to php5/mysql5 at any time.
All new signups since January 2008 are being placed on PHP/MySQL 5 systems. Both PHP & MySQL operate version 5 system software. If the software you install on your website requries PHP/MySQL 4, please open a support ticket with us after you placed your order so we can move you to an appropriate machine.
Some web software still requires PHP & MySQL Version 4, so you will need to check your software requirements before placing the order.
