I would love to migrate to Homestead. But come on, no PHP scripting and a block on everything except Explorer and Firefox as browsers? What’s the matter here? I know you can do better…

For the nature of my business, I need to add a phpBB forum, a blog, and a wiki to my site before I launch (target August 1, 08). Is Homestead now php enabled?? Or is it still in beta mode? If php isn’t available yet, I may have to look for another hosting solution.

Thanks!
Linda

It’s great to have the beta php but can anyone tell me when/if this will be available for all our sites not just the nominated trial site for beta testing? Not knowing if the service will be removed makes it very difficult. I am hesitant to do too much in case it becomes obsolete. Also it is frustrating not being able to use it on other sites….It’s been a long time in beta - the last I heard was in April with an emails stating -
“we are currently planning to continue supporting PHP for Homestead sites. That being said, we don’t yet have a date set for when we’ll be taking PHP support out of the “Beta” stage.”
Is there any updated news of a pending announcement?????

I’m a homestead builder as well and would love to see php support. It’s somewhat disappointing with all the great things homestead offers and then a few things that it lacks and makes you second guess staying.

Any news on this happening soon? I’m up for renewel in July. Meanwhile I’m trying out another host. I’d rather stay with homestead I’ve been here since 2000 but for 20 dollars less I can get more else where.

I was a Homestead user back in 2001-2002. I found that the site builder was quick and easy to make webpages. I am currently using it as a landing page, but would really like to use php for building a database.

I’m a long time Homestead customer also. I’m so glad that I read your blog because I’ve been thinking about changing hosts. I just hope that you will release this very soon because I’m in need of my wordpress blog and a forum on my site. I would hate to have to find another host.

I am also interested in php support to do blogging and place rss feeds into my site. A photobucket like application would be great too.

Our program is still in the midst of the Beta process, and although we don’t have a release date yet - we’re working to release it as soon as we can. We’ll definitely be blogging about it when the program is launched, so keep checking here for updates!
