PHP 5.3 shared hosting providers
Because they're still hard to find and the Nephtali Web Framework requires PHP 5.3, here's a list of webhosts that provide PHP 5.3. All of the listed hosts have been contacted to verify their support for PHP 5.3.
-
Hostek
Their linux hosting plan includes the option to have PHP 5.3 running for your account (you have to ask for PHP 5.3 in your order.)
-
Apis Networks
Their web hosting accounts provide a couple different versions of PHP (including a version of PHP 5.3.) They also offer SSH and a very capable custom control panel.
-
A2 Hosting
Plans provide unlimited bandwidth and diskspace, SSH access, and expert support. Ask for PHP 5.3 specifically when you sign up.
-
DreamHost
Provides PHP with unlimited disk space and bandwidth. SSH and one-click installs are provided as well. [Although I couldn't find info in the site saying PHP 5.3 was available, I did find a tutorial that walked you through installing it on your own: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Installing_PHP5]
-
SiteGround
Shared plans offer several different versions of PHP (including PHP 5.3.) The prices are very reasonable, and the host provides many convenient turn-key solutions.
-

Fast and powerful server with unlimited bandwidth and based in Australia. They offer the option of first testing your app using PHP 5.2 and then moving to PHP 5.3.
-
