Re: .htaccess

The # at the beginning of the line means that it is commented out and has no effect (it didn’t have any effect in the original .htaccess file either unless you had removed the #). You changed it correctly.
If the hosting provider wants to have that setting, why don’t they do this in the server setup instead of asking individual customers (assuming this is shared hosting).
