good! I have to use php 5.3 for a website that I have to migrate. How can I make the hestiacp work?  
In vestacp there was a script that installed any version of php, does it exist in hestacp so that it can be used as an apache template?

PHP 5.3 would help me with some older e-commerce packages but I recognise it’s of limited use. (Expensive) CloudLinux to the rescue.  
Thanks for the command list link - bookmarked.

Adding/Removing php versions can be done using the web interface too
