The short answer is yes - I do have the capability to make server modifications to allow this, and will do so if need be.
However, might I ask why? If it's simply lack of tools/knowledge on your end, I'd rather post up a how-to addressing that. Resizing ahead of time on Mac or Windows is easily accomplished using existing or free apps/utilities - probably on mobile devices as well, but I'm not as familiar with those.
The main reason for my reluctance - I've got several other web sites running on this server, and uploading large files uses a fair amount of server resources. Not only the upload itself, but the resizing operation takes its toll, and uploading large files eats into the allotted bandwidth being paid for as well.
For the usage this site is getting now, these issues are very minimal - but it's something I'd rather not worry about long term.
Can you describe your photo taking/computer/phone setup?
