If you're in need of a good host on the cheap, there are plenty of options. The host I use is 1and1
http://1and1.com and they have a package for $10 a month that gives you 3 free domains, 2gb storage, 50gb transfer, 5 FTP and 500 email accounts with 1GB each.
Thanks for the advice. I will use php/mysql combo because I have some scripts written in that combo already. I'm a fan of tables, and simple javascripting. There is no need for <DIV>s, or any sort of frames for the design I have in my head. The onlything is the LBS's colour is green. It is sort of a diffcult colour to blend into most designs.
I will speak to them about their host, but personally, I get my hosting for free. I used to work at probably the biggest hosting company in Canada this summer....
