Many new scripts require PHP 5.3, like the newest version of Oscommerce, osCommerce Online Merchant v3.0.

If you are using a dedicated server or virtual private server most hosting companies can upgrade it to PHP 5.3 for you.

But if you are using or want to use shared hosting then the number of hosting providers which can offer PHP 5.3 support is still limited.

The following hosting companies are currently offering hosting with PHP 5.3 support:

• A2 Hosting
• Apis Networks
• DreamHost
• Hostek
• Hostgator
• Lunar Pages
• Onlime Webhosting (German)
• Openminds (Dutch)
• ServerGrove
• Site5
• Siteground
• VALU Web Hosting (Australia)
• WebFaction
