[tracking issue] Track hosting provider support for PHP 7

According to Acquia's EOL schedule (https://docs.acquia.com/support/eol)
For PHP 5.6 "Formal retirement announcement pending", with an ETA of Q3 2018.

All of the Acquia projects I have access to (of varying ages and subscription types) have PHP 7.1 available.

---

http://phpversions.info/ has a large list of hosts and their supported PHP versions

Added OVH to list of hosts with 7.x support.

Beget.com (RU) has added PHP 7.2 support.
https://beget.com/en/news/2018/old-php-versions - not sure if this article is translated in english yet, but I hope they will do that.

7.0 and 7.1 are supported too.

Added Gandi. New instances can only use PHP 7.1 or 7.2.

Dreamhost supports 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, and 7.2

as at 11 sept 2018, Jhost (was Ehost) does NOT support PHP7.1. still stuck on v 5.6.30.
Tech support says available soon! Grrr!

• Acquia has been using 7.2 as the default for some time.
• Gandi supports PHP 7.3 as of a month ago: https://news.gandi.net/en/2018/12/php-7-3-is-now-available-on-simple-hos..., default is now 7.2

BOA stack and Omega8.cc supports PHP 7.3, 7.2, 7.1, 7.0, 5.6 with ability to configure version per site hosted.

Bluehost 2019.01.10 ... first time I ever heard of 'Bluerock'. ??

Hostgator has been offering 7.1 for some time now. (Their support page claims they offer 7.2, but I can’t switch to it, so not sure. Also, two server types don’t support 7.1, one not even 7.0, according to that info. Not sure how to put that into the table?)

Removed 7.0 reference for Liquid Web and added "last reviewed" date to LW row.

Added Uberspace.

7.3 available now. 7.2 is the default. 7.1 is scheduled for retirement later this year. 7.0 has been retired.

Added Arsys hosting.

PHP 7.1 retired today.

Added last versions for Arsys.

Updated summary for current tracking goal at hand.

Updated data for Acquia, Pantheon and Platform.sh based on their webpages. They all dropped 7.0 and added 7.3. I could not figure this out for Amazee as their comparison table is not up to date.

Adding Alwaysdata & Infomaniak

adding ionos formerly 1&1

Corrected the WPE listing.

Added Combell. Combell also supports some older PHP versions.

As for another data point the composer stats are at https://blog.packagist.com/php-versions-stats-2019-1-edition/ 19.2% are running PHP 7.0.x or earlier.

PHP trends at composer in image form:

Updated the MediaTemple entry to 7.2 per https://mediatemple.net/blog/news/php-7-2-now-supported-grid/.

Looking at the table in the issue summary, the only hosting provider listed that does not offer PHP 7.1 or higher is Arvixe. Is anyone here aware of any other hosting providers that are stuck on PHP 7.0 as their max version?

I'm asking because #2917655-44: [9.4.x only] Drop official PHP 7.3 support in Drupal 9.4 is proposing to drop PHP 7.0 support from Drupal 8.9 (targeted to be released in June 2020).

http://phpversions.info/shared-hosting/ lists a bunch of hosting providers that are stuck on a PHP 7.0 maximum, but I suspect that a lot of those entries are inaccurate or outdated.

Added Byethost.

TEN7 Hosting and Flight Deck (Kubernetes and local) support 7.2 and will be supporting 7.3

A good resource for updating the chart just now was https://onlinemediamasters.com/update-php-version-wordpress/

Updating Alwaysdata

Arsys updated.

Omega8.cc / BOA stack update.

Updated a half dozen of these, 29 to go (maybe hosts should be required to maintain this info in a directory on d.o. in exchange for the link to their service? :)

Thank you to everyone who worked on keeping this up to date!

While speaking with xjm, she pointed out the current minimum PHP required is PHP 7.3 so we don't need to track PHP 7 anymore but we should track PHP 8. Therefore closing this and opening a new issue for tracking PHP 8.

Also handy related issue #3223435: Track PHP 8.1 support in hosting and distributions

Arsys updated.
