Perch Shop Hosting

I'm about to start on my first Perch shop website for a client. I know Perch Shop has specific requirements, wondering if anyone has any recommendations or are there preferred web hosting partners? A web host located in Australia would be great.

The minimum requirement for PHP is version 5.4, but at this point you should be looking for hosting with PHP 7.

Thanks Drew. I'm actually looking for a host to suit a Perch Runway/Shop website. I know the shop has even more requirements. Are there any preferred or recommended web hosts? In Australia would be great...

PHP 5.4 is the minimum for Runway and for Shop too (currently regular Perch is 5.3 but will also move to 5.4 with the next version). https://grabaperch.com/requirements

As Drew mentioned I would look for somewhere with PHP 7 hosting at this point. I don't have a specific recommendation but any capable hosting should be fine in terms of our requirements - more importantly you should consider their uptime and support etc.
