May be, but ImageMagick belongs to a typical Linux webserver install setup, 
and any host that considers himself even remotely professional should have 
ImageMagick installed, since there is a zillion widely-used scripts that use 
IM.

I don't remember working with a hosting provider that didn't, actually.

Moreover, most of the Linux distros have IM packages already packed in. 
Maybe not latest, but they are there. So in those huge chains of resellers 
of the resellers selling resellers that start appearing on the market, 
someone really should take care of this.

Being hosted by the reseller is in 99% of cases the worst possible scenario. 
They are not allowed to install or maintain, and in most cases wouldn't know 
how to anyway. It is far better to use an ordinary but direct shared hosting 
at a good company than to be hosted by the reseller.
