Mike, I just came across a hosting company yesterday that I think you may find very affordable and they give you access to setting up dsn's. The hosting company is http://webhost4life.com. They also have reseller plans that offer 50% off regular plans for resellers with 21-50 sites and 55% off for those with over 51 accounts.
In regards to support, their familiarity with CF7, and the rest, you will have to ask them. I wish I was an affiliate or reseller so that I could benefit from this referral. -Aaron On 2/1/06, Cutter (CF-Talk) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You might talk to Emmet over at Full City Media.
