A Quick Question

Hi guys,
I done a favour for a local running club and made a website using perch cms. Working well except for one error,

Quote:Warning: escapeshellcmd() has been disabled for security reasons

Solution for the "escapeshellcmd disabled" issue
In order to eliminate this error message you need to do ONE of the following things:

Remove the escapeshellcmd string from the disable_functions at php.ini* file
Ask your hosting provider to remove the string above if you don't have an access to the php.ini* file
Change hosting provider which allows the running of the escapeshellcmd function.


but the #?*!$ irish hosting I have won't allow this even though perch say its not a security issue.... and want me (well the club) to pay 700 euro for the vps which this site doesn't currently need as its small .
I have the site working fine on the free hosting but I love the community support and staff activeness here and want to go for the paid. Will I have this issue here as perch has functions which need it.

Also can I use another forum account or can I buy it without one


Cheers,
Justin
