I would recommend either the first one or the 3rd one. But your best bet is to let them know your requirement (like you use this for shopping cart which uses lots of database resource, your average number of visitors per day is....., you are concerned about the fastest server response possible,,....) And they should be able to recommend you the best option(since they showld know their stuffs better^_^

i asked the support and they lead to me the upgrade page.

there are couple options available, can you PLEASE help me pick the right one?

here are the options

PHP5
All files with the extension .php will be handled by the PHP5 engine.
Current, most reliable and best performing version of PHP

PHP5 (Single php.ini)
Same as PHP5, but all subdirectories will use ~/public_html/php.ini

PHP5 (FastCGI)
All files with the extension .php will be handled by PHP5 FastCGI processes.
FastCGI for PHP makes all your PHP applications run through mod_fastcgi instead of mod_suphp. This eliminates the overhead of loading the PHP interpretor on every hit. Since it is always in memory ready for the next hit, the responses will be generated faster.
