               Hi folks, as topic states, this is not directly NWN related, although
our website is primarily NWN 1 related.  However, we do plan on
sometimes hosting a PW as well as the main website, so this should be
considered as well.

Regardless, what we need is some
recommendations on Web hosts that do more than just give you space.  We
need a hosting company that can actually provide a body to
create/manage/make changes to, a website as well as actually host said
site.

Not something for a part time person, but a full fledged hosting service.

Anyone have any recommendations we should check out?

               No one uses a web host that provides support/page management etc?  Back-end support is what I mean.

                I don't believe my host provides that. I am using Laughing Squid.

               Full time, full benefits hosting is not cheap.
I'm guessing that there's not many NWN PW's that can afford it, seeing as how we're not supposed to make any profit off of our PW. All that cash comes out of our pockets.
Our PW is hosted from my bedroom. Our website is hosted from the cheapest place we could find that offered unlimited storage and had good customer service (http://hostmatters.c...eb_hosting.html). We still have to do all of the work ourselves if we want a website on their machine though. I do highly recommend them to anyone needing hosting (Check the anniversary deal they have in the link!).
You may need to hire a webmaster and hosting service separately.
Hosting Matters does offer dedicated servers with 24/7 support, but that only extends to the server itself. Not your web site.

               Oh well, I guess we will just have to hope that google doesn't cause us too much spam during our search.

Finding a webmaster for a small site that intends/hopes to grow, won't be cheap either I expect.

               I'm footing the bill and fully intend to make a profit abet not on NWN. We have other Ideas on how we can turn a profit on HMC.
