I've been pretty happy with Media Temple (mt) -- they're grid service is reasonably priced and seems compatible with visually-oriented Mac-type people. It may be overkill for what you want to do, but it will give her plenty of room to grow. Comes with snap-in WordPress and other apps. iWeb is great for point-click page composition, and of course it's integreated with iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band. Like MySpace on steroids! Transmit is the best Mac SFTP/FTPS client for Mac if your hosting provider doesn't support the WebDAV scheme that iWeb uses. chris. _______________________________________________ New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
