Wow, Lisa - thank you so much! You summarized it so well. I really appreciate you for taking the time to help me on this. Hopefully, in the next 2 weeks, I'll have my site up and running.

Can I ask 2 more questions?

1) Does it matter whether I sign-up for Linux or Windows? I've heard the name Linux, but don't know anything about it. I have XP if that makes a difference.

2) Is there a problem going with shared hosting, and then swirtching to Reseller or Dedicated later on if the site is successful?

I've kept you up late...go to bed, and I'll check for a reply tomorrow night after work.

What a blessing you are - thank you!

Todd
