Exactly !
Now, one of the things is, there is no need to be excravigant with the hosting unless you're hitting at least a few hundred people an hour, and even then, you'd only need to start on the ladder. Someone like www.ukreg.com / www.fasthosts.com / 123reg.com would be more than good enough... the words you want to look for are "single site hosting" or the very base ones. They should be able to set it up, it would take them 1/4 of the time it would take me 'cus they know their way around the neighbourhood (so to speak).

In fact, tell me the following that you possibly know, and I'll find you a good hosting deal.
- How much traffic you get; how many people view the site every month.
- If you have a 'dynamic' site... can you update it yourself without going into any code or having to 'ftp' ?
- How many email addresses you use that go to different places (eg, "[email protected]" and "[email protected]" going to the same place = 1 address, for the perpouses of setting it up).

Now you're bordering on technical
-Traffic - no idea at all - that's not really how my business works so I've never worried/wondered about it. Maybe I ought to.

-No I can't update my site myself.

-One email address. I could consider more but this is getting into areas that I don't understand.

I could
But it wouldn't be clearly explained to me. There'd be an assumption that I knew stuff.

Gonz is making it very clear.

Cool
Traffic is actually very key to knowing how well your buisness is doing, think of it as not knowing how many people walk into your shop. Whoever you get to do it, get them to install "Google Analytics", it'll take them less than an hour. It'll tell you a lot more than you need to know, and it'll be information overload, but its well sign posted. It'll also help point you in the right direction if you wish to expand with advertisment.

Cool, I'm gonna go on a limb here and say your site is 'static'... does the links end in ".html" / ".htm" ? The move will be easy. You do need that FTP access though, or even better "A zip file containing everything to do with the site; including PSDs if available", they'll know what I'm talking about, PSDs are photoshop files. A zip file is something that contains many other files, like a folder.

Cool, no wories, what I always do is point everything to one place, so [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]..... the bit before the @ being irrelivent; it'll still get to me. How do you view your emails? Do you use something like Outlook, Thunderbird, Google Mail, Windows Live (etc) ?

I honestly don't know
This is my website:-

www.sheridanlandlordservices.co.uk/

I don't know how it works - I get my business primarily by knocking on doors and selling me and my product. I'm a very good salesman (we've talked about this before) - I have no idea whatsoever about the on-line presence of this.
