Many many thanks to everyone with the offers of help and advice.
I have set one up now, just have to wait and see if it grows as the board I am using is free. If it does take off then I will have to look at doing it the hard way, buying a domain name, bandwidth and a decent board but for now I think I have cracked it!!!!
Again, many, many thanks to all who PM'ed and emailed me, cheers
