Gd-lib?

[Brian]

Hi, I'm looking around at hosting services in order to possibly begin to set up a photo blog. Unfortunately, I'm extremely uneducated with regards to MySQL and PHP. The readme to the script that I am thinking of using mentions a variety of requirements - some of which I have confirmed compliance through your FAQ, and the others are as follows:
------
- PHP with GD-lib, required for thumbnailing
- a MySQL database already working. If you have no MySQL Database running, create a database first (or ask your hoster to do it for you)

To install PixelPost, it is necessary to check whether your webspace supports
these requirements and to have the following MySQL-database-informations
at hand before you start to install:

- name of the database-host, often "localhost"
- database username
- database user passwor
- database name
------
Would all of this be available/possible for the basic $30 account?

yes you can create a mysql database with the $29.99 account.

Is there a limit to the number of mySQL databases allowed? If so, what is it?

Quoted post
The only limit is the disk space. There is no numerical limit for DBs on current account plans.

it should also be noted that many scripts will run happily side by side using the same mySQL database...since most scripts use a prefix on the name of the tables they require.
