Just make sure the permissions are properly set (i.e., not group- or
world-writeable). My pages with server-side includes are chmod 755, which
means owner can read/write/execute and others can read/execute but not
write. Your ISP should be able to tell you what is appropriate for their
web server.
Some examples:
owner group world
----- ----- -----
7/rwx 5/r-x 5/r-x (pages with SSI's)
6/rw- 4/r-- 4/r-- (regular pages, images)
6/rw- 6/rw- 0/--- (access counter files -- my server, anyway)
chmod 644 *.html
