Depends on which package you're on and whether you chose Linux or Windows.

1. PHP is only available with Linux by the looks of things so if you've got windows on the web server you're shafted with most of the freely available gallery software.
2. MySQL requires you to upgrade to the business package if you don't have it already, again, it's only available on Linux servers, so you could be shafted twice here, or, lucky twice depending

The image library stuff I was talking about earlier isn't mentioned. Basically, you want something other than GD which is standard on all PHP4 onwards installations. It's not very good and slow... I have just asked my provider (streamline.net) about installing one of the others and they have gone to their developpers to ask. Might be light at the end of the tunnel for me

Not sure if that helps a lot
