Thanks for the info Peter, I sort of figured that about the firewall after thinking about it for a while. I do have a static IP, it's a DSL line. http://nomonthlyfees.com/ is who the main site is hosted by now. I guess my requirements would be no less than what I have now (which is listed at their website). -Clint

Unless you have a static IP address your domain name will never resolve to your computer. You can use DNS2Go from Deerfield http://dns2go.deerfield.com/ or No-IP http://www.no-ip.com/. Where are you currently hosted Clint? I see your site's listed under Alabanza, but they mostly are a source for other resellers. What are your requirements for a host, your budget, traffic, emails, databases, audio/video streaming, security? For my own testing purposes I run both IIS 5 and Apache with IIS being easier to configure for newcomers. Personal Web Server is available off of the windows 98 cd, but Analog-X and Xitami http://www.xitami.com/ are easier and better products IMO.
