Currently running 5.2.6 on Bluehost although they still offer the choice 
between PHP 4.2.8  and 5.2.6 on some of their older servers that had to 
be upgrade to PHP 5. Their newer ones run just PHP 5.2.6. I think they 
plan on pulling PHP 4 altogether the same time as the "end of life" is 
scheduled.
