I had a word with my web host again, they said they now have new servers for both windows and linux, so i can get a new account on these servers and they would upgrade their php to 5. but later they called back to say that php5 is not stable on linux but they can give it to me on windows as its stable for windows. So Should i take the windows hosting with php5 or its better to stick to php4 on linux. they have also assured that when php5 is stable for linux they will upgrade it themselves.
the hosting seems to be good as i havent had any problems with them for the last 6 months that i have been with them, the support also seems to be decent enough.
thanks for the help
