Mike ... I've looked at this transition myself, but have avoided it because other issues always seem to take precedent.
If you plan on using a 3rd party host for this, you have to get one that supports mod_rewrite. If you want the rewrite to appear transparent to the user, then you also have to have mod_proxy enabled on the server. This is where the problem generally lies. While most 3rd party shared web hosts will give you mod_rewrite capabilities in the .htaccess file, they generally don't allow the use of mod_proxy or the proxy flag with mod_rewrite. I've found that if you to use mod_proxy you would most likely have to look at either a virtual dedicated server or a dedicated server, where you have more access to the underlying server. As for SSL, most web hosts will use also used shared certificates unless you get into a virtual or dedicated server. I'd also like to hear others opinions on this, so will be following this thread with some interest.
