There were two ways to correct the problem. Alter the Apache configuration or alter the code in the site. Considering the scarcity of using SSI and that this account was residing on a shared server the best solution was to simply fix the code by making it use relative paths.
Working with the code involved I have concluded that we could have easily done that for the client regardless of the exact syntax we would have made it work for them. However that was not an acceptable answer. Many clients are happy with us going to that depth to help them fix a site problem but this one was not.
I don't think that makes us "Ugly" however I accept things were not working out so we parted ways. We offer that option to any client as a guarantee of our good faith to try our services risk free.Michael Carr | Support Manager | A2hosting.com

My point....
This site was designed about 9 years ago. It needs updating; however, I've told the organization that I'm not going to spend time doing that until they commit to keeping the content on the site fresh to make that redesign worthwhile (I don't get paid to do their site since it's a non-profit organization). Even so, the whole concept of "outdated" technology being the problem is negated by the fact that the technology does work on Arvixe servers without a single change.
There will be technologies that are retired along the way. (Anyone still use an original 8086/8088 based computer daily? I saw one in a museum a few weeks ago...)
Its a fact of life in the tech world. Life changes under our feet and we must adjust.
I have retired certain techs that have required clients to update their sites. As someone else pointed out - FrontPage... Microsoft stopped supporting it, so we withdrew support ourselves. And clients adapted to the new norm.
Its unfortunate that you don't get paid to keep your client site up to date. That doesn't mean the world should stop innovating, improving, and eliminating those older techs which have security issues.
We cant turn a blind eye towards security, or progress.██ Nexus Internet Services http://www.nexus-iservices.com
