I've already registered my domain name with 1and1. Thank you for
recommending alt.www.webmaster. I have book marked it and will check
it out.

As for a web host, I anticipate that the users' files, and my own,
would require several GB of storage. Also I will be running libraries
from C++ and calling them with either Java or Ruby-on-Rails. Someone
suggested a hardware / network firewall if I'm using a networked
server environment. I wonder if I would need that if I am running off
a single PC. Maybe I will need a network if the business takes off.

Thanks,
Peter.


Thanks again,
