 * My host recently upgraded to PHP 5.5. When I tried to login to my WordPress admin
   I received a “Internal server error”. The host claimed that the WP-Members plugin
   was causing the problem, and that it doesn’t play nice with PHP 5.5.

 * At this point I would say I don’t know what the compatibility is with PHP 5.5
   because it hasn’t been fully tested. However, I don’t know of anything in the
   plugin that would be directly incompatible.
 * I have generally found that hosting companies are relatively unreliable when 
   it comes to tracking 500 errors (which I would assume your internal server error
   is/was). Those can truly be difficult to track reliably. If they really do believe
   that WP-Members is the issue, then if they could provide some additional information
   as to why then I could explore it.
 * If there was something incompatible with 5.5 you would more likely get a PHP 
   error which would indicate directly what the problem is. That is something you
   do not get with a server 500 error, which could be a great many causes.
