The issues with atahualpa occur at hosts that have 'suhosin' as part of php. And even then the only real problem is if you are not allowed to create a suhosin whitelist (at some hosts you can do this by adding a php.ini file to your wordpress root)

Hope this helps you decide what to do

Bty, if you install 3.6.4 in it's own folder, you can swap between 3.5.3 and 3.6.4 to see how they work

Thanks JD,

I had never heard of 'suhosin' before. I Google searched some info about 'suhosin' and Hostgator where I'm hosted at and came up with this:

QUESTION: I've been with my present webhost for 11 years and lately several issues with their configuration have come up which are causing me to consider a change. But, I want to make sure that I don't have the same problems with a new webhost.

My questions are:

1) Do you run Suhosin (aka PHP-Hardening)? If not, do you plan to use Suhosin in the future? My present webhost has recently installed Suhosin and it cripples PHP. I can no longer batch add files to my Coppermine gallery because of Suhosin, making Coppermine almost useless, and Suhosin is also giving fits to the PHP code of the small message board that I maintain. I want to move somewhere that not only does not use Suhosin, but also realizes that a disaster it is (Suhosin hasn't even been updated by its makers in 2 years and is virtually unsupported by them!) and never plans to use it.

2) Does Host Gater have a limit on the number of files that can be accessed per directory by FTP? My current host has recently put a limit of only 2,000 files per directory being viewable and accessible by FTP. I could work with this if I'd known about it 11 years ago when my website began. But, it's too late now and I have some directories with 3,000 files where I can't even readily access the last 1,000 files (as listed alphabetically). I'm looking for a host without such an FTP limit.

3) Do your servers have available the GD graphics code library? I'd like to install captcha image vertification to keep spammers from registered on my small message board. However, this requires the GD graphics code library, which my current server does not have.

Thank you in advance for your answers. I'm impressed with what I've read about Host Gator and I hope that your answers are what I'd like to hear.

ANSWER: (From a Hosgator System Admin.) First, I would like to thank the HostGator community for taking the time to answer this post

To answer your questions publicly:

1) We do not currently use suhosin on our shared or reseller servers and have no plans that I am currently aware of to begin using suhosin in the future. Suhosin is also not installed by default on dedicated servers but can be requested if desired.

2) There is a file display limit of 5000 files per directory on our shared and reseller servers currently.

3) Yes, GD is installed on all of our shared and reseller servers along with several other libraries.

If you have any questions, you can e-mail sales@hostgator.com for pre-sales questions, support@hostgator.com for linux hosting technical support, windows@hostgator.com or plesk@hostgator.com for windows hosting technical support, or security@hostgator.com for security issues.

There are other posts on this thread at http://forums.hostgator.com/3-questi...up-t52544.html but the above answer seems to show that Hostgator does NOT use 'suhosin'. Am I correct in assuming this? Would that mean that ATA v3.6.4 would be fine?
