safe mode on server
my hostnig has safe mode enabled. I can request the disabling of it but I'm not sure of the benefits and disadvantages of it.

Could someone fill me in with all of the + and - or having safe mode enabled on my hosting plan?

I guess this is referring to PHP's Safemode... if so then you can read the PHP manual

If you're on a virtual server, you want safe mode installed. It will protect your files from being read by other people's PHP scripts, among other things.
