Keith, please post to the list so you'll get help from all and your exp will be shared. You can try setting mapserver on a shared host, it might work, or not, difficult to know without testing. Even if working, your shared host might not fit your serious needs (verbose a bit more). There are some professional mapserver hostings around, did you check ? With a serious web connection you could also setup and plugin your own server. You may start by the beginning ;) : on a local linux box, build a basic mapserver cgi (./configure without options), upload it to your shared server and try the test page : http://yourserver/cgi-bin/mapserv? What do you get ? Blaise
