Yes, we are compatible with these requirements.

We cannot disable the mod security settings (1.e.) because those rules only apply to Apache 1.x and we use Apache 2.x. However, we can find the rules which block your site and disable those, so our hosting will still work.

We cannot offer thread safety disabled (1.g.) because this only applies to Apache 1.x. However, we should be able to modify Apache to work.

I suggest contacting this company and asking if they have requirements for Apache 2.x servers. If you must have Apache 1.x, we can offer a VPS or dedicated hosting plan to meet the requirements perfectly.
