Server recommendations

[Joshua Zeidner]

Jason,

  Just to make sure, is a hosting situation possible?  There are a lot of
offerings as far as LAMP hosting services go, costs get as low as $10/month
and security, etc. is managed for you.  LAMP servers are a commodity and
your buying/management policy should reflect this fact.
