I was thinking of creating a web service that catered specificaly for DB and DBP users, since many providers I have found when searching the web have either been difficult to work with, or very limiting.

What I intend to do if I get enough support from you peeps, is to buy a domain and some space on the web, and then create subdomains for each user, with no banner-ads, and support for various web features, such as MySQL databse support and FTP uploads/downloads.

However, to cover running costs of the server and domain, I would be in need of cash to keep it going. Although, I'm willing to go very low on the prices - for example, £3.00 (or $4.86) per month - which is much lower than most providers that I have seen that offer no banner-ads and 20Mb web space!

So if you would be interested in this please express your support here - thanks peeps.

You've got about as much chance for anyone to send you money, as me inventing a time machine... or taking over the world... or both...

It was a good laugh though.

I dont mean to send me money now u fool. I mean that as a prototype price for when the thing goes online. NB. "running costs"

LOL! if I was asking for money now, it'd be like those people who come round u're house and try to sell stuff.

I will be giving a full list of features I will be able to offer later today.
