i don't know how proficent you are in *nix environments, but i suggest you check out a flavor of linux. For hosting you can use apache, it also comes with all the other servers you could ever need.

Alright that does it. I will make the switch. All my friends have been urging me to do the same that you sugest. I will be magering in computer science at Tulsa University, It will be a good start and won't hurt a bit to know a little of it before hand. Thanx for the suggestions guys means a lot.
PS does Apache also act as a smtp/pop3 server?

no it doesn't, but there are smtp/pop3 servers included in most linux distributions. Let us know if you need any more help

Sendmail should be your new best friend.

I *highly* recommend the O'Reilly Sendmail book
