It looks like between those that are offering hosting, and Daniel's server we can actually offer some pretty decent packages.

Accepting sign-ups yesterday. People are late already :p

405643 2005-11-20 07:38:00 One thing, I would ask that in your PM you would include an email address as another point of contact other than here.

Forgot to mention, if you have hosting with me, you can still buy your own domain name and PM me to get it pointed at your hosting.

405644 2005-11-20 17:30:00 All sounds very interesting.
What about a basic tutorial for those ,like me, who know exactly nothing a having a web site.
How do you start?
How do you ?????
What do I do next???

All that I read assumes that you have ,at least, basic knowledge.

Slightly off-topic and probably a bit of a grumble
One suggestion for any guide being written
Image optimisation - Probably the one thing that irritates me the most about a lot of homemade (and some professional ) websites out there, a site I visited last week had 20 thumbnails on one page so it should have loaded quickly, but it took a while too say the least, WHY because each thumbnail was 150Kb, somebody had just set the image size in the html code and the full size image was being downloaded then resized by the browser to fit the thumbnail size, Quite a waste of bandwidth and a loss of customers if they have to sit and wait for the page to download for ages, If the images had been optomised (right size and quality) the entire page with images would have been less than on of the original images

ok Grumble over

It all looks like a good idea

One thing though
just state "rules of conduct" for using your hosting in advance, as different people may have very different views to you and it pays to have a frame of reference to go back to, and you don't really want things to turn ugly,
