Hey guys, be gentle, I know very little about how backend works at all.
I'm looking for a hosting provider that is good and reliable, preferably cheap, and has a decent package of software and the like. Having good support service there would be wonderful as well.
I also don't understand what the process is if I wanted to install software onto my webspace. Is that generally impossible unless you own the computer yourself? or do you just have to pay more for that? Should I look for someplace that has any software I would possibly want already installed?
Things I want to have are ~50-100 email addresses, a decent amount of total space, a decent amount of total transfer, asp (maybe), php, cgi. i don't know or really claim to understand if i want or prefer for any reason windows server or linux/unix servers.
So basically yeah, I don't know what I want, but presume that most of what I want to do (collaborative workspace/gallery/publishing) should be doable on almost any server?
