Here's another New Zealand based web-host that is confirmed to work, after performing the given changes

* [[http://kiwihosting.net.nz|Kiwihosting.net: Hosting Lite, Unix]]
350 MB space, 5 GB/month traffic, PHP5, unlimited MySQL 4.x databases, unlimited domains, and more...
* Comment by Hans de Ruiter:
You will need the following in your .htaccess file for it to install:
php_flag zend.ze1_compatibility_mode Off

After installation, you may need to reinsert the above line into the .htaccess file. My .htaccess file ended up looking like:
php_flag zend.ze1_compatibility_mode Off

#### START Override default PHP.ini values
php_value allow_call_time_pass_reference on
php_value register_globals off

# PHP Memory Limit
php_value memory_limit 64M

### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.gif)|(\.jpg)|(\.png)|(\.css)|(\.js)|(\.php)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* /sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###

There is an additional problem documented [url=http://silverstripe.com/site-builders-forum/flat/84637]here[/url]. The server's $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] variable doesn't return what Silverstripe expects. The work around is to change line 149 in sapphire/main.php, from:
$baseURL = dirname(dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']));

to:
$baseURL = '/';

If you installed Silverstripe in some sub-directory, $baseURL will have to be set to that sub-directory.
