Okay, wtf, my service provider doesn't allow .htaccess files or am I doing something wrong?

I'm was trying to make a .htaccess file to prevent hotlinking but I kept on getting internal server error codes.

I tried this simple .htaccess file:

ErrorDocument 400 /errors/badrequest.html

and it gave me internal server error. wtf?!

(at first the live tech support guy said they don't allow mod_rewrites even though 5 minutes before he asked if I had used mod_rewrites, I asked for a reason and he said security purposes)

hrm.. it spit out this, but now that directory is fubar'd

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?spicytuna.net(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?forums.anandtech.com(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(wmv|avi|mpeg|mpg|mov|swf|WMV)$ http://www.spicytuna.net/nohotlinking.html [R,NC]

http://www.spicytuna.net/interesting/vids/
should bring up an index.html that has nothing but now it gives an error.

edit: looks like something else. damn service provider
