 * Hello there,
 * I just changed the permalink setting, but all my pages turn our “404 error”, 
   I’ve read on the website that we should let the .htaccess file to be writable.
   But the host told me that there is no .htaccess file?
 * Where can I find one or can I create a new one?

 * You can simple create your .htaccess with this:
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /
 * RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond%{
   REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress
