There is a german Provider (df.eu) with php4 to php 7.2 support. As a customer you can choose which version you want to use. I don't know why they still support

  I would be very leery of trusting that PHP 4 was adequately patched (given the last PHP 4 versions was EOL almost a decade ago), for a number of reasons that don't just include df.eu's technical capability. It's just a much less likely to be looked at system, but that doesn't mean it's not rife with lots of exploits that newer techniques could quickly find, and I imagine that hosting company is generally just patching obvious and reported exploits in PHP 4 (hopefully!). Best case scenario there's an active fork of PHP 4 that some company is monetizing support for (which doesn't negate all the problems I mentioned, but helps a few). I imagine it's a meeting of groups that need to have some old PHP 4 app running, and a company willing to throw it on a VM and put a best effort into keeping it from becoming a script-kiddie cesspool. It's probably not even as bad as I make it sound as long as you don't need public access. Still, not a business I would want to be in...
