Comments.Text: Short version of [my answer to the question you've linked](http://civicrm.stackexchange.com/a/11354/149): If the hosting company doesn't support CiviCRM, [switch to one that does](https://civicrm.org/hosting). You'll do much better when what you're doing is fully supported by the folks servicing you, and mass-hosting environments often don't cater well to specific needs.
