Guys,
Appreciate the responses. To confirm, I'm thinking of hosting the site on my own server (custom built, with RAID etc) at home. This is looking like a slightly bigger challenge then planned, but hey ho, that's the way it goes.
RTFM, I may take you up your offer, seeing as the ASDL link won't be up for a while yet. Linux does seem to be a more secure (if more daunting... was doing some research earlier on) solution, especially for a Microshaft devotee like me. Details on the way.
Lost_luggage, bang on the mark, a static IP. Leased line may be a tad expensive for a startup... especially in Ireland. Point taken though.
AMOFW, appreciate the FTP info, may come in useful.

This website business had better be worth the hours of toil and suffering!
Edited to let RTFM know that I tried sending you a mail but your mailbox seems to be full... popular guy, eh?
