in reply to checking for SSI?

The most certain way is to create a small web page, include some SSI, name it with an SHTML extention and upload it.
<html><head><title>SSI test page</title> </head> <body> <h1>SSI test page</h1> <hr/> <!--#echo var="SERVER_NAME" --> <br/> <!--#echo var="Document_URI" --> <br/> <!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED" --> <br/> <hr/> </body></html>
But if they haven't gotten back to you in 3 weeks, it might be time to look for a new host. The host I use usually responds within 24hrs.

    Thank you so much Theo. I was using .html and I couldn't think for the life of me why my SSI code was showing up in the sorce code and not being executed. On all my other sites I use .html with SSI and it works, but rename it to .shtml surely did the trick. Thanks!
      There are several ways to "enable" SSI. I think most of them are covered here along with tutorial info. The HtmlGoodies site has more tutorial stuff.

      Here's another site with SSI tutorials, including techniques I've not seen elsewhere.
