heya guys!
i
would set up the database and threads and stuff on my personal computer, but... quite honestly, i just don't know enough about any of that stuff. the little i saw and tried was way beyond me, and i didn't even really start! just not my path
i think i'll just stick with the 9 step process i listed above for now (that is, if part 6 is possible).
as for hosts... i guess that'll just be something i'll have to look into -- invest more time into. right now, thats a whole other issue that i dread thinking about: finding a suitable place, backing up and moving every file, wondering about cancellation fees, etc. headaches on toppa headaches!
