If you are a business, you will benefit from hosting your site on a high speed commercial server that will allow you to control all aspects of your website. I personally like the Bluehost Server because they are reasonably priced and packed with options. They answer the phones quickly and the support staff is young and energetic. They have lots of other customers who also agree they are the best.

Getting ImageMagick and Ghostscript to work with PHP and XAMPP. ImageMagick is a great program for transforming image files and formats. IM even has the ability to convert PDF files to images if Ghostscript is also installed on your system. Unfortunately, installing and running IM the first time is highly system dependent.
