OK. So I really want this plug in to work, so I am thinking of switching to dream host. I saw a package that was 5.95 per month.

1. Will this package work?
2. Switching from 1and1... I asked how to do this already, but need a more newbish responce (sorry). I have 2 wordpress sites with 1and1 and it took me a long time to get them set up to use the same user database. Can I just download all the files, including the databases, then reupload them to dreamhost? I am assuming I will have to change some settings in wordpress to point to the new databases. Likewise with gallery? I am not too concerned with Gallery, as I just set it up and only have 1 album when I realized it wasn;t working with 1and1.
3. What about the domain names I have with 1and1 - currently 3 of them, 2 of which came with the package.
4. Is there a way to transfer the files server to server, rather than ftp to myself then to dreamhost?

Jay
