Hi Robert,

I haven't used 1and1 myself, so can't really say anything about their servers. I assume your best bet would be to call their support/sales department and ask them if they would allow you to these things.

I myself having been using Burst/Nocster (www.nocster.com) for almost 3 years now, and my experience with them has been really great. Their rates are even better than 1and1 and they also have good support. Also, on my server I am running Links SQL without any problem, so I don't think you would be having any problem either.

I would still like to add this, from what I have heard about GT.. their servers are really great and GT staff knows that they are doing, so their support especially for thier own products would be next to none.

Hope this helps.
