Is this any indication that we should see this soon http://kb.parallels.com/en/114457

Not really - we don't use Plesk on shared.
We're currently waiting on a reply from Parallels with respect to timelines - I'd expect either myself or Paul (flamegrill) will be able to provide an update in the next couple of weeks

For those of us using Joomla and still waiting since Jan 2012, yes its now Feb 2013, for PHP 5.3 to be made available this may be very much of interest to us all

Our CTO has been out of the office for the last couple of days, but we are meant to be getting the upgrade in the next few weeks - before the end of the month I believe

This is all well and good for linux customers but what about your Windows client base... you need to use the same card with Parallels as customers are using with yourselves. (If it's not done another provider will gain the custom)

I'll check on the status of Windows + PHP.

I'm awaiting a firm date from our technical team, but we'd expect to be doing the upgrade on the Windows Server cluster a few days after we've done it on the Linux one.

That (PHP 5.3 on Windows) should have been done by Parallels as part of the POA upgrade.

Any word on the Windows nodes?

We are currently testing the upgrade process on Windows nodes and will have more information on a timeline for upgrading all nodes shortly. I would expect it to be completed in under 2 weeks.

Hey Alan - have you got any more updates for us on this?

The testing generated some issues which we have been working to resolve, we have started testing again now and aim to install 5.3 next week all going well.

Cool thanks for that ... Do you know which version of 5.3 we expect to see?

1 Month on from my last post - have we got any more information on PHP 5.3?

Hi Collier apologies for the delay, we hit some issues while testing, we aim to have it completed next week.

Anymore news on the 5.3 upgrade for Windows servers?

One of your competitors have recently launched both php 5.4 and 5.5 on their shared packages

PHP 5.3 is available on new Windows 2008 R2 Subscriptions, we are still working on rolling it out to 2008 and 2003 subscriptions.
