Ian, please use contextual quoting here, where you would reply *below* the
post you are replying to. It just makes things easier to read ;)

I have a dedicated server, and I went in knowing nothing, thankfully my
primary consultant really hooked me up with a nice clean setup. Howeveer it
is a big responsibility (esp when things go wrong from making bonehead
moves).

You may want to subscribe to the ic-biz mailist to find some hosts fo for
IC. Said that, There are people here that will give you very complete shared
hosting. Like www.newmediaems.com, they offer dedicated as well as shared. I
think you would be better off (for now) on a shared server, with a competent
host. No need to spend money that is not neccessary, and take on more
responsibility than you need to.

Also, given the fact that you will need to have an above average interaction
level with your host WRT using Cpanel, it makes sense just to avoid Cpanel
in the first place and opt for something else that gives the control back to
you (where it belongs). I use Plesk.
