Its important to look for php hosting that allows implementation of custom .htaccess file, and more importantly these .htaccess file can be implemented easily without problem. I having more than 30 php web hosting plans with various hosting company, and almost 10% of these hosting not allows easy setup of .htaccess and some require some customization work for it to works.

At powweb hosting, i had tested their hosting with my custom .htaccess file, and it works fine like others. Powweb .htaccess files can be uploaded to ftp server and its implemented immediately. You can have .hatccess file for you addon domain names as well.

From powweb OPS control panel, you will find the .htaccess editor tool as well. You can use this editor tool to edit your .htaccess file instead. Following are few of the function and feature that can be perform through .htaccess editing:

Important: Settings are inherited: commands in a .htaccess file affect both the directory it is in and any subdirectories of that directory. A file in your main directory will affect your whole site. To override inherited settings in a subdirectory, add a .htaccess file to the subdirectory.

Custom Error Pages
Substitute pages that you designate for the standard server error message pages. Custom error pages are useful when you want error pages to match the overall design of your site.

Hotlink Protection
Prevent unauthorized URLs from loading files within specified directories at your site, which uses your bandwidth (also called bandwidth theft and leeching). You can choose to redirect these requests and specify URLs that are allowed to access files at your site.

URL Redirect
Redirect requests for a specific file or directory to a new destination. If you change your site structure and rename files or directories, redirecting prevents existing links at other sites or in bookmarks from generating 404 – File not found errors. Visitors will be directed to new or renamed files.

Block IP Addresses
Block users from specific IP addresses or a range of IP addresses from accessing your site.

MIME Types
Add or override system MIME types.

Open Directory Browsing
Allows you to control access to the directories of your website. By default, directories require an index file (index.html is recommended) to be present in a directory. With this tool, you can choose to display the contents of a directory if no default page is specified.

I am not hesitate to ask for powweb help, as their support people is very friendly, focused, and able to pin point the problem and solved it on time. Thats what i most appreciate.
