Maybe time to look for a new host.

PHP & MySQL are growing everyday, and f your webhosting is not offering PHP or any type of SQL, (MSSQL, Oracle, or MYSQL) I would begin to wonder about there actual capabilites.

More and more websites are incorporating SQL into everything.

But if your looking for free, then you know the old saying "You get what you pay for!"

osCommerce is a database driven application.

No database = no osCommerce.
