Yes. You can use the HEAD command if you have access to a linux machine OR you can use an online service such as Netcraft

They're perfectly entitled not to offer it if they don't want to... It's only another Apache module.

The client can also leave ....

These days most hosts would offer perl and php as standard.

Not offering some "funky" scripting language I could understand, but PHP or Perl?
