Well, you should try the fix at item #153 at:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk
....before leaving HostMonster for good. I ended up going to SiteGround.com, which claim to be specialists at hosting MediaWikis. I got the wiki to work just fine, but I find their servers to be MUCH slower than HostMonster and they do NOT offer phone support (email only). On the plus side, my wiki does run and they answer email fairly quickly.
....but I changed before I heard about the fix listed above. I hear the fix works on HostMonster.

Thanks Bruce,

After some hours of searching, it seems like the mysterious "500 internal server error" may be caused by a PHP bug , not a MW database bug as I previously assumed.
Seems like the error description is the same as http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk#MediaWiki_was_working_fin...
Seems like PHP5 crashes if the .htaccess files contains php.ini setting , in my case, I had kept the following lines from my previous PHP4/MW15 installation, without knowing that it may cause MW to become unstable a few weeks later:
# close the php security hole... # not actually needed but probably a good idea anyway <IfModule mod_php4.c> php_flag register_globals 0 </IfModule>
