hi , we run a couple hundred hosting clients on three servers all using Cpanel or Plesk our most recent update of php is 4.3.10 everything is working fine. I'm certinly not going to upgrade php and cause clients problems. Maybe on a new server I'll try tucows php scripts but we must be able to use our own MySQL for our own Billing system. Platapus is not a solution for us as it does not use JPOS iso 8583 messages. The Zend requirement is out of the question. And then there's price Tucows Wholesale rate to us is almost 30% more then Several other registers.
