Okay.  I'll tell you a little more information.  The 'friend' of mine is
actually my local church.  I need ~20 email accounts because there should be
15 staff people (who will want/need email) and 5 for the future.  Since it
is a church, they don't have a lot of money to spend on stuff (i.e. a
website).  Their current host is at www.poconos.net, and the website of my
church is www.st-thomas-aquinas.com.  Poconos charges 19.95 a month, and I
was hoping they could get something less than that.

Does anyone know how to find out how much bandwidth my/my church's website
it getting?  Analog is installed, if that would help anyone figure something
out.  The stat's page is at www.st-thomas-aquinas.com/analog.html.

Right now I am thinking of going with CIS Management as the web host as they
seem to offer everything I need.  I am a little concerned about reliability
and stuff like that, so if someone with experience with them could say
something...

P.S. -- Could anyone give me advice/critics on the church's web site
(www.st-thomas-aquinas.com)?  The site really isn't much, but, not to
rationalize or anything, that isn't all my fault.  I am not a graphics
designer.  A few pics would probably make it look infinitely nicer, but I
don't know how to do them.

Thanks,

Jeff
