Windows Hosting Info

I bet I'm one of the few people who can ask a question about web hosting and not get a single reply from a hosting rep.

Picture that smiley with a penguin instead of an apple.

Hosting support finally replied. PHP is not supported on their Windows servers. Apparently I chose the only Windows host that I looked at which doesn't list PHP in their supported languages section. (Nice work UW. You really are useless.) Of course, the jerks took to the time to suggest that I should upgrade from the $3.99/month account to one of their dedicated servers for PHP support. |badidea|

Well, two hosts down - no success. The first one doesn't have PHP and the second won't allow me to execute a .exe file on their server. Why the hell does it function on a free host (which would typically have all kinds of limitations in place), but not on a paid host?
I HATE WINDOWS HOSTS. YOU ALL SUCK.

The free host I'm using does have paid accounts, but their terms are not adult-friendly. Bloody hell.
