Sure thing.

Thanks. Do you recommend Drupal over other CMSs for my type of application?

Whether professional design would be required depends on your goals and your own skills. Do you want it to look like a high quality professional site? Are your design skills good, adequate, or poor? Would you be satisfied with a default CMS template or do you want it to look unique?

My goal is a clean, minimal, and effortlessly functional site that is fast, and capable of having >100,000 members (but not necessarily the very high traffic that implies). I'd be happy with a default template.

Jeevesbond and I built this site and its partner A Padded Cell completely using free (FLOSS) tools. It's always a work in progress. However, I would definitely not consider it a free/cheap site - we put a lot of time and effort into developing the sites. I don't know about you, but my time is not "free" (as in beer )

Nice site. Probably just the kind of thing I need. My skills and time are good.

Can you two please take this

The hosting is the business

The hosting is the business package on Corporate Internet Solutions but at half the cost.

I will give it to you free for the first year.

Yes, it is hosting.

We have 2 data centres, one in Mainhead, london and the other is in Florida, USA.

For multiple years we can work something out to be half the cost or roughly £39.99 a year for business hosting after the first year.

This saves around about £80 a year.

Ideas?

You also get a free domain.

I will have to have a few weeks to arrange this for you but i will give it to you for free for one year.

Please let me know, if you like the offer...

Well, it's a wonderful offer, of course, and thank you! I must first understand what exactly is being offered (I guess it's hosting, yeah?). And I must plan for the site to be basically permanent, so I'll need to understand deals for multiple years. Also, because of the site's international nature, I wonder if strategic geographic host location is worth considering, in terms of speed of access world-wide.

Because you are doing it for
