I feel that I would be best served by using Gossamer Hosting however I am not in a financial postion at this time to reserve and use a dedicated server. I am interested in using the Shared hosting to start. Questions below:

1. Can I use the shared hosting to run a Links SQL site?
   
2. At a point in the future is it possible to move from a shared environment to a dedicated one? What is involved?
   
3. From a support standpoint what are the differences between shared and dedicated? Does Gossamer manage it as they seem to do the dedicated install of Links SQL?
   
4. What is the best way to determine hardware/bandwidth/hosting plan requirements for a new unmarketed site? Of course I plan on changing the unmarketed part.

Any other info concerning hosting is appreciated. I do feel that I will be more comfortable utilizing Gossamer Hosting.

Thank you.
