I run a web services site that might fit your needs.





First let%26#039;s address web hosting;





Please visit http://www.mxdwebservice.com


and review our plans.





We offer plans starting at 5GB of web space and 100GB of traffic and 1 free domain name for $69.24/year...that is less than $6/month. Currently, our largest plan consists of 25GB of web space with 300GB of traffic. Every plan includes one free domain name.





All plans come with a large complement of free scripts and tools, designed to help you build and maintain a professional-looking web site; including tools like Joomla! %26amp; PHPNuke (content management systems), osCommerce (a shopping cart/billing system) and more than 20 other similar free tools!





Like any good web host we offer our clients 24/7 customer support, including a trouble ticket system, live chat and phone/email support.





In addition, we also offer a complete library of video tutorials to help guide you visually through a large variety of possible questions about running and maintaining your web space. Nothings better than seeing how it%26#039;s done step by step!





Thats not all! You will also find a growing library of articles designed to help guide and inform you, should you decide to run a web business.





I would suggest that you visit our site as there is a wealth of free information available and more details about the hosting plans we offer.





Next let%26#039;s tackle web design;





We offer professional, custom web designs starting at a basic rate of $100/page. Because every web design is unique to it%26#039;s owners wants and needs; it is always best to consult with us directly about your needs. Please feel free to send us an email about your design needs at; sales@mxdwebservice.com and we will gladly assist you with any questions you may have.





Aside from our paid web design service, remember that all hosting plans include Site Studio for easy point and click web design. Using this tool, a quality site can be designed and published with NO knowledge of web coding or design. As with any client, I welcome any question you may have while designing a web site on your own.





Lastly, legal issues;





Doing business online is no different than running a business in the real world. I would suggest you check with your local laws and regulations for any regulations regarding home businesses or online businesses. Of course like any business venture, you%26#039;ll do best to get your tax id and a Doing Business As name registered with your local municipality.








I try very hard to provide as much as possible for each client and I will work as hard for you.





Thank you for your time and I hope to have helped you in some way. :)
