Not neccesarily, that's why they're called settings. The only thing one
should do is trying to create code as independant from settings as
possible.

PHP settings in Apache can easily be set per virtual host, no other client
on the server need ever be troubled by them. Apache even supports setting
them in a per directory .htaccess files (which I often use on little
project on third-party servers to whip them into shape).
Prices for hosting as they are now, I can recommend anyone being
moderately serious about their site just to pay for a VPS. It's still dirt
cheap and one has close to total control.
