If they do not understand how to do this, or are unwilling to do this for you, then take this as a wake up call that you need a more competent host and switch to a company that is more responsive to your needs and is more familiar with the technology they are using to host your web site. It might seem like more trouble than it's worth for a spell checker, but in all honesty, if they don't understand this stuff, they're in the wrong business.

I disagree, if the host is this willing to just try something out on a production box, then I wouldn't trust my data with them...

What if they install something that causes wide spread data coruption, 'whoops, it was a customers request...'

You don't install everything a customer wants.. Thats why it shared hosting.. If you want certain software, get a dedicated box...
