You don't need to control the server itself; many hosts --indeed all the 
good ones, I say-- allow you to redirect .html to the PHP engine one way 
or another, typically from .htaccess with AddType and AddHandler 
directives. Check your host's help system or file a support ticket, they 
probably have a FAQ answer ready.
