Some web hosting companies offer a limited service simply because they do
not know any better. Amongst their "substandard" offerings are:
a) a version of PHP which is not the latest.
b) unwilling to include any of the optional PHP extensions.
c) PHP running in safe mode.
d) disallowing the option of htaccess files to change the Apache
configuration at account level.
e) Only one MySQL database.

These are things you should confirm with any hosting company before you sign
up with them. If your present hosting company is unwilling to offer a proper
service then I can only suggest you switch to another one.
