Looking for hoster. Any pos/neg feedback re: BlueHost

It kinda sounds like you're trying to get a shared hosting platform to run special stuff. That's just not going to work. Knownhost supports PHP 5.8 and 7.x. No one that I know of is providing PHP 6.8??

It sounds like you need a VPS (at minimum) where you can set the PHP version (though your app should be able to work on the newest-ish PHP version).

Since you need implementation support, that (to all hosting) is application support, which none offer that I know of.

Feel free to send me a PM and I can try to help getting your site implemented.
