Comment(by shawnkhall):

 Some hosts require execute rights, others don't.

 The bottom line is: you need to ensure that the rights of the web user do
 not permit editing or deleting the file. This may require changing group
 or user ownership or removing certain permissions from the web user. If
 your host provides rather lenient controls, you might consider changing
 ownership of the file to root, then removing all rights from it except
 read by everyone. This should effectively prevent the file from changing.
 Good luck!
