Please advise will these specs run zencart?

Hi All
Can someone please tell me if the following features provided by my soon to be hosting company will run Zencart successfully. I am currently located in eastern europe and the internet speeds here are not so great for outside the country. so i need an internal host company.
Anyway the service is:

5 gb disk space
unlimited bandwith
75 Mail boxes
25 subdomains
control panel
5 Mysql databases
PostgreSQL
FTP
DNS
SSI (Server Side Includes)
htaccess
WAP
phpMyAdmin
Perl
PHP5
CGI
SSH
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
cron

Am i missing anything? Curl? curl is the only thing that i can see not listed so is this bad?

please advise as im just trying to get my first site going so im just a noob trying to learn

thanks

cURL is necessary to run things like
fedex, authorize.net linkpoint paypal pro....

However cURL is going to be required for zen cart 1.4 which is the next release due out

Re: Please advise will these specs run zencart?

forgive me for sounding stupid but is curl part of SSL? Or is it something completely seperate

looking at your Camelot web hosting site i see that CURL is also not listed as a feature. So my question is how do you find out by looking at the features if curl is installed or not?

Its something completely separate,
its a way for sites to communicate securely

Put the following script on your site:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Run it from your browser. In the output, look for "curl". Or call your hosting company.
