That's simply not true. A good hosting provider can let you use these 
functions without any safety issues for their network and other 
customers. Enabling these functions combined with security issues in the 
code that you are using might let attackers execute things on your 
installation, but in a good hosting environment this would not affect 
others.
If you keep your software up to date there shouldn't be any issues with 
using exec or system.

Find yourself a different hoster that has better specifications (really!).

Without the use of these functions TYPO3 can't use ImageMagick / 
GraphicsMagick for image manipulation.

I've written an article about repairing the database for an upgrade to 
TYPO3 6.2:

http://www.typo3coder.nl/development/upgrade-to-typo3-62-and-database-issues/

If you don't have TYPO3 4.x on that server yet, the simple script 
(described under "THE FIX") can easily be modified to have the database 
credentials inside the script. Then it can run without any dependencies 
on TYPO3 and make the database completely UTF-8.
