You need to ask for a recent python version >= Python 2.5 And mod_wsgi. You have the option to run it woth mod_wsgi or with mod_proxy. Depending on how their apache is configured, mod_wsgi may be a bit complicated and conflict with php. mod_proxy may be easier on shared hosts since they just proxy a local web2py instance.
