This is how I do it on my dev boxes.  It's actually not the hosting  
company, it's quite a common technique.  If you want to do it, I  
would suggest checking out this article here:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/php/php4-php5-configuration.xml

Check it out... but bear in mind that this setup probably shouldn't  
be run in a production environment unless you're really careful.   
It's easy to break.
