As a C#/C++/SQL non-web programmer I was really wanting to use this as a learning experience (but with some practical output), rather than farming the task out to an outsourced web developer. The task in question is both a front end and back end for a web page where potential users would sign up to be considered as beta testers. The potential users would need to fill answer some basic questions about themselves and enter some random alpha-numeric text displayed in a captcha , on success the data would be stored in a MySQL database. I think that I have probably gone into more detail that you were interested here, however I hope this will enable you to answer the web hosting requirements question.
