New tool is an upgrade to the company's OnSite hosting control panel, allowing customers to configure and manage many aspects of accounts.

Modwest, a provider of PHP hosting services, today announced the launch of a web-based tool to help customers configure their accounts for either PHP4 or PHP5.

The new tool is an upgrade to the company's OnSite hosting control panel which allows customers to configure and manage many aspects of their accounts. Customers who require the PHP5 functionality can configure their accounts to run their .php files via the PHP5 interpreter, explains the company.

"Modwest has always excelled at hosting PHP web applications and this new tool further cements our position in the PHP hosting industry. The tool gives our customers new power and flexibility to easily upgrade their accounts to run PHP5 applications, or even mix and match PHP4 and PHP5 within a single website," said John Masterson, VP and Co-founder.
