safe mode

Hey! I presently require hosting with a company that has their servers in Sweden, and I need a shared hosting account, any recommendations are welcome, the server is for a client. I have found quire a few via google but I noticed most of them are with Safemode ON and Register_globals ON which I find to be quite strange because I have always hosted on a "regular" server with safe mode off, register_ globals does not really metter, as if it was off I didnt do anything but if it was on I used a htaccess file to put the b**ch off :-) I have done a little reading on Safe Mode, but I'm looking for _your_ experiences with safe mode and the problems you have faced or/and any warnings for me. Will continue to read and search via google while i wait for your answer/s. OT->Another difference I have noticed with Swedish hosts and American hosts is...more than 50% of the hosts here are offering _no_ limit to traffic!! (As long as you are not offering music, movies,porn or torrent trackers on the site) Thanks, Ryan
