hello,
i have a website that was built and is hosted by a local company that
i want to now start hosting elsewhere (their cost is too high). it was
built with mysql and php and is connected to credit card processing
service for payments. it's pretty extensive with frontend and backend
access with a number of custom forms.
i have a lil working knowledge of hosting/websites/servers, but not a
ton. so my question is:

1. who offers hosting service that would give good assistance in
getting this custom site up and running? i would like to spend
$50/month or less for hosting.

2. would it be better to find a third party to assist in getting site
up and running? if so, any suggestions?

thanks for your time
