What are the steps I need to take? I know how to do HTML...I think I need to learn PHP....

Where can I get a good server?

thanks for any help?

You have the option to build your own custom system if you like, or purchase an existing system. One very popular one is IRater (www.i-rater.com), which has a few different versions. As far as a host goes... I have only purchased dedicated servers recently, but a person I used to work with, started a hosting company about 2 years ago now (which is actually a professional site, not just some guy who buys a dedicated server and cpanel and has no knowledge) he's been in the hosting biz about 15 years and has worked for many companies. www.hostito.com is their address.
Good luck.

ok...how much do they cost for this particular part of usage? is it expensive as far as servers go?

are there any designers out there that could do it custom

i think with hostito, the 7.95/month plan would suit you for the server. im sure there are a lot of designers out there that would do this. www.rentacoder.com is a good place to look or www.phpfreaks.com has a job posting forum there, and there are a few others i cant remember the name of right now too.
