My advice is to take baby steps befor halling your personal website anywhere make sure you fully test the waters before you go jumping straight in...
X10 hosting seems kind of okay though check out what options they have enabled by writting a simple phpinfo file and executing it
<? php phpinfo();
?>
save it as myserverinfo.php (or whatever) and run from the address bar in browser to see complete server environment/Apache and PHP/Etc
X10hosting offer great features and have flexable options and allow CRON jobs too, Makes me happy..
oh yeah, Welcome to the Forum too
