1. i have created new accounts, as well as checked on my old domains using phpinfo(), PHP version still says 4.4.7 and won't run PHP5 code.
PHP5 is available on EVERY windows server.
Linux it is not yet available and will only be on web11 when I get it in, we can not upgrade all servers to php5 as there is so much incompatible code, Hsphere 3.1 will over switchable php on unix like in windows.
2. EasyApp, as i understood was not going to be available until certain other server upgrades, like MySQL version, is showing in the control panel
correct, we are still a bit away from this.
3. I thought the 3.0 Control Panel for resellers has the ability to lock the templates available to other user accounts (for example, to where they can only use Xpressia Lite), i can't find this anywhere.
really not sure what you are talking about i don't mess with this much ever
As far as "slow" goes, it is pretty zippy during the day(and on safari it is REALLY FAST!) but at night with the cron jobs it can be quite sloq.
