Some questions

[OS Master]

Hi, I have seen good reviews about HostGator, but I wanted to know if you support the things that I need:

1) PHP version
2) magic_quotes_runtime disabled?
3) safe_mode disabled?
4) Suhosin (I don't want Suhosin installed)?
5) MySQL version
6) mod_security (I don't want this either)?
7) mod_rewrite (I want this)
8) Does vBulletin work (if someone with a vBulletin forum can confirm this)?

Those are my questions for now, I might have some more in the future but I'll leave those there for now.

You could send your questions to sales at hostgator dot com to get a definitive answer to each. I don't have a shared account any longer so I'm not positive which exact versions are on the shared servers.

PHP is now version 5. I run 5.2.5 on my dedicated. I think MySQL has been updated to 5 as well. Mod_Security is installed on the shared servers. You would need a dedicated to be able to control all the features including disabling mod_sec (which I would not advise based on the number of attack attempts I see on my server.) Mod_rewrite is installed and many users here use vBulletin with no problems. Not sure about Suhosin and the other questions.
