PHP Version upgrade

Is it possible to get the php version upgraded from 5.3 to 5.5 ? needed for joomla framework

The most recent PHP version available on AlterVista is PHP 5.4, you can change it on the AlterVista control panel, in the Resources section.
However on the official documentation i read that only PHP 5.3.10 is needed, where did you get that requirement?

I tried switching to 5.4 but it still built the application on 5.3.10. It is required to run Gantry 5 framework

You have to change the settings also in the Joomla folder (it's an .htaccess directive).

On the documentations it says PHP 5.4+, so you should have no problem.
