suPHP is a tool for executing PHP scripts with the permissions of their owners.

You can login to your control panel and find a link 'PHP Configuration' under 'Software/Services'. On that page you can read how to configure php and how suPHP works.

1. By default php CLI is php5. Here are the paths for your reference:

/usr/local/bin/php

2. There are some significant improvments in suphp such as
 HTTP based authentication auth works via php
 symbolic links to php files also work
 permissions of public_html does not need to be changed for using shared SSL
 Custom error pages will work with both php4 and php5

3. ionCube PHP Loader will be available server wide alongwith Zend Optimizer.

4. If you are setting up custom php settings, the custom php.ini file will be required in a folder where the php script needs to execute. Or you can place php.ini anywhere and have this directive in public_html/.htaccess

<Files php.ini>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
