Thanks guys. Im going to use one of the $20-$30 per month hosting solutions for this client. Theres no way that he would go for anything more then that. Squarspace, 2 of his sites would work out very well on there. But that would pretty much go over budget. 3-4 websites for this client. This guy is very big on ROI, and he does it in his head on the fly, its kind of nuts. Ive still got to build the new site for the guy, and get all this hosting stuff figured out, and IT stuff, so hes very cost conscious. -- Trevor
