Web Hosting Provider Host Color Offers Dynamic PHP 4 and PHP 5 Switching

HostColor LLC has integrated dynamic support for PHP 4 and PHP 5 scripting in its new NextColor Control Panel. HostColor clients can choose whichever version of PHP their site should use through a special section in the control panel. This new feature is important for web developers. 

"We are a company that listens very carefully to what our customers say. That's why after being approached by numerous customers asking specifically for PHP 4 or PHP 5 hosting, we decided to add this new feature in our control panel.

Together with the improved SSH capability that we have added to our NextColor control panel, we feel that our hosting has some unique features and is a powerful medium for web developers." says Host Color's Executive Director Vesselin Drangajov.

PHP version 5 was officially released in July 2004 and since then it has marked a major re-design of the language due to the e Zend Engine 2.0 processing core. Also this version of the language has far wider object-orientated capabilities than its predecessors.

Web hosting companies are usually slow to adopt new technologies, due to the investment and the extra software work required to ensure compatibility between versions. Host Color's chief software developer Venelin Mihaylov however, reminds that Host Color was one of the first web hosting companies to begin offering PHP 5 more than a year ago.

Host Color has recently announced that they made available the popular PhpMyVisites to our customers. The web stats software is one of the pre-installed tools the company offers.
