We have made a conscious decision to be less involved in helping people use budget hosting by adding features to compensate. For example, adding the default option, then adding methods to trim long indexes under the 767 limit, and testing, etc would probably cost around $10,000 in development costs - and we'd only do that to enable people to continue using hosts that don't give you the correct tools.
We have added a lot of code and functionality in the past to allow a variety of hosting environments but we really want to be more firm in what we will support moving forwards.
This may mean people need to speak with their hosts, or even switch hosts that support our needs (like our own cloud service).
