Get a new host that will allow commands and offers access to
people who know how to correctly use it.

Get a new host that understands that - while they may want to hide
their own errors - disabling error_reporting for all customer websites
by default is asinine.

Get a new host that knows how to administer a web server. PHP 4.3
was released 27 December, 2002, with the latest from the 4.3 branch
(4.3.11) being released 31 March, 2005. The CHANGELOG should give you
an idea of how *horrible* this is: http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-4.php
All of PHP4 reached its EOL the last day of 2007, but at the very
least, try to find a host that uses a version of PHP newer than three
to five years old.
