With PHP 5 support, you can program using the latest version of this server–side scripting language and take advantage of existing applications and add ons written in PHP 5. You can also run both PHP 4 and PHP 5 simultaneously on the same site. (PHP 5 is version 5.2.17. PHP released this version on Jan–6–2011)

The latest version of Python –– 2.4 –– is supported.

The new hosting configuration has a dedicated administration interface from which you can manage and maintain cgi apps, library versions, Perl, and Ruby on Rails.
