So far, everyone who has claimed that they can build their own 1u
multi-site virtual hosting server for less money has been shown to be
wrong, once all the GUI control panel licence costs and hardware are
taken into consideration. Not to mention the amount of time to assemble
one and set it up, unless your time is worth nothing.

Who told you that you void your warranty when you load a new PHP?

You might think it's crap, I don't know why you're using it then. I
think it works fine for what it is designed for. Which isn't every
possible web hosting configuration under the sun.
