PHP Hosting Comparison

The wait is finally over! We have officially completed the long awaited free php web hosting comparison. To benchmark the different hosts we used a php script that timed itself while executing tens of thousands of math operations. This script was then run 10 times each day on 7 different days (for a consecutive week). The score signifies the average amount of seconds it took the script to execute over the 70 attempts.

For informational purposes we have included the php version and the max execution time for each individual host. If you want to know even more, We linked the version number of each host to a detailed php information file (hosted on that specific host).
