Good point. I think I'll just use my "dotcom forwarding," as Stephen suggested, while I research the hosting sites. They start at $2.95 mo. and go on up from there, dependent on features, space, and package/annual rate deals.

If anyone knows of any cheap web hosts that have proven reliable, I'm open to suggestions.

Also, does anyone know if it makes a difference to the client if the host is NT or UNIX? If I want to do something with vfp for example, should I choose an NT site?
