Starting a Business

>      I'm looking to start a business. My initial needs are incorporation, a 
> company name and a nominal web presence. I'm in the thinking stage and 
> working on cost estimates and a startup plan.
>      Is there anyone in this group who:
> 1) has done this recently and is willing to share their experience, or
> 2) does this professionally and is interested in assisting (professionally)?

>      At this point I have a business name I like and the *.com domain is 
> available along with the domains of a couple of easy misspellings. But one of 
> the common misspellings is already taken and, worse, it belongs to a company 
> in the greater Phoenix area. Is that a problem?
>      What sort of incorporation would be best? A "subchapter S" incorporation 
> was suggested. The business will be consulting-oriented but there will be 
> some "pack and ship" physical products as well.
>      Initially, the web presence will be no more than a dozen simple pages 
> (which I will craft myself). This will probably be hosted very simply (such 
> as at register.com for $14.95/month plus three email mailboxes). Eventually, 
> however, it'll move to a more capable hosted site and include apache-based 
> custom interactive pages (again which I will either write or, more likely, 
> use an open source package).
>      Suggestions/comments are welcomed.
