They can and will disable ModSecurity, but they strongly advised me against requesting this for security reasons.

Unfortunately this is over my head. Can you advise? As security is of my highest importance to me and I would be unhappy going against my host's advice.

Thanks

This issue seems specific to your hosting service - we have not had similar reports from any of our other users. Searching through the web, one recommended solution seems to be to add the following into your Apache configuration file:

SecPcreMatchLimit 150000
SecPcreMatchLimitRecursion 150000
It's possible that you can do this yourself, via your hosting control panel. If not, you'll have to ask your hosting company to add these lines for you.

I hope this helps.

Regards.
