Rich's Tongfamily (Richtong.net add-on)

PHP Builder. I’m going to convert tongfamily.com from a FrontPage plus IIS specific site with blogger on top to a pure blog over the next could of months.

cornerhost: low priced, reliable hosting with a human touch. Another boutique to consider. $10/month is the basic plan plus $3 for mysql.

Antville. Another example of the blog economy. This is a special tool for highly scalable blog hosting. They currently have 2700 plus blogs on a server of which 1300 are accessible. That is amazing!
