PERL?
Ok so I've decided to put my project on Godaddy for now. Godaddy allows the exec() php function to access the command line for a limited set of commands. Specifically imagemagick's convert command so huzza I should be able to convert svg to png or jpeg!
Along with this hosting service comes the availability of PERL. I've never built anything in PERL and I think that considering Imagemagick works well with PERL this may be a interesting segway.
If I'm going to use PERL it will just be a simple script that I'll evoke from PHP probably. The script would just perform image manipulation functions. In essence I'm not sure :) but I'm going to play with it and see where I get to.

Sounds like you know what you're doing. Should be interesting to see your final project. What exactly will your segue to the PERL scripting do?
reworded to make sense
