My host does not have mod_rewrite enabled or ON. So I can not use the mod_rewrite function to make my URL's SEO friendly.
What are the other alternative options to have SEO friendly URLs?

Hi akaize,
What exactly do you mean by SEO friendly? Are you trying to redirect yourdomain.com to www.yourdomain.com
If you are using PHP you can try something like the following:
// redirect
if (($_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] == 'host') {
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: URL');
exit();
}

Andrew I really like the design of your website. However the top menu on the home page appears a little tilted to the right on my browser. I've used Firefox to view the website. I can send you screenshot if you would like to.

Nothing as simple. My advice, move to any of the 99% of hosts that support mod_rewrite, your current host will probably be a huge PITA about other things if they are pedantic enough to disable FileInfo in .htaccess (which is what allows mod_rewrite).
To the poster that asked about what seo friendly urls are, it's using something like
http://example.com/some_product_name.html
instead of
http://example.com/index.php?funtion=show-product&product=18328&somemorevaribles=here&someothercrud=here
you get the idea.
