After reviewing all of the information I could find on this forum and elsewhere, then making a chart of features I was looking for and comparing prices, I decided on using Foliolink.com as my new hosting and template design supplier. Previously I was paying $20 a month for Earthlink just to host my site and was responsible for the site development myself. After paying a one-time start-up fee of $249, I now pay $349 annually.

Let me know what you think of the new site: www.donboyd.com. Thanks
