[Hosts with Apache Rewrite Installed]

I have been looking for a host with MySQL and Apache Rewrite installed. Can anyone recommend good hosts...that are cheap?

[Rewrite Rule/Friendly URLS]

I am having problems getting this going. I checked with my host and he told me that it was installed. Plus I sent him the URL to the tuturial on this site to make sure everything was setup correctly. Not sure if there are problems with the setup...or my syntax...but nothing is happening with my urls.

 

Here is my url...

 

http://www.website.com/brandproducts.php?brandid=3

 

I want it to be...

 

http://www.website.com/brandproducts/3.php

 

Here is what I placed in .htaccess...

 

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^brandproducts/(.*).php /brandproducts.php?brandid=$1

 

Am I missing something?

 

Thanks for any help!
