Newbie Question. Please help

Hello all,

 

I am planing to give osCommerce a try soon. I am gettign my feet wet right now with PHP/MySQL programmin.; and have started reading the Docs on this site. I's liek to try toinstall and configure the solution at this point and need an advise on what hosting provider to use. I have so far been using Godaddy.Com for my hosting needs however it apears they have some limitations when it comes to PHP:

 

The following functions have been disabled on our servers:

 

 

fpassthru

 

file

 

exec

 

system

 

passthru

 

popen

 

crack_check

 

crack_closedict

 

crack_getlastmessage

 

crack_opendict

 

fsockopen

 

psockopen

 

opendir

 

readdir

 

closedir

 

phpinfo

 

all Posix functions

 

Also:

 

Our servers are configured to handle only the .php file extensions at this time.

 

And

 

PHP is run in "Safe Mode" on our servers. For more information on "Safe Mode", please see www.php.net.

 

Will any of these facts interfere with the functionality of osCommerce. If so please recommend better Hosting provider(s)

 

Thank you for your time,

 

Arkady.

I ve also read some threads about people having all sorts of problems with their Shared Hosting. Can someone list Hosting requirments essential to deploy osCommerce smoothly and securely, at least the unmodified (out of the box) version; It appears that "osCommerce can be installed on any server where a web server is running that has PHP installed..." is not really enugh.
