I would have chosen a different host myself because their general info was so bad and because they have a really bad score at Trustpilot - but my client didn't want to change the host and I agreed to ...

Thanks for the advice everyone. It turns out that the reason I couldn't get access to the GS root folder (and sub folders) was that the web host doesn't allow FollowSymLinks command (and a couple of ...
