We addressed this issue on our servers yesterday.

If your site is hosted on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux server, your site is not susceptible to this exploit. Neither are most RPM released Apache installs. But, if you or your host compiled Apache manually from the source, you need to re-compile and activate certain flags to squash this exploit before anything bad happens.

Are Hostasaurus servers affected as well?

Have you tried asking them direct? :-)

Unless you are on a server that isn't affected by this vulnerability, the answer may be a "yes" - but check with them first to see what your domain is hosted on.

Any host not running current Apache distributions could be affected. I'm sure they have already patched their servers, if not currently working on it.

But the only way to be sure is to ask :) like Remik said.
