I use madasafish.com as an isp, where you also get unlimited web-space.
Easyspace or Neil Bothwick can sort out a good domain name and forwarding
for you.

What you can't do see/test on an Amiga which I find handy is CSS (Cascading
Style Sheets). Flash would be nice, but not essential. The limited
javascript the Amiga can handle is ok. Java applets though... forget it.
I'm not sure about ASP, but I doubt it. No doubt Neil will give the goss on
this.

The Amiga is good if you want a basic site with frames, forms, and some
javascript. Anything more and I'd get a cheap pc or dedicate parts of your
hd to installing Linux for Amiga... which is what I'm trying to do, purely
to get some sort of decent browser going to let me learn more about
interactive design. Amiga browsers suck imop. The only thing I like about
Ibrowse now is that those annoying little website popup-ads don't appear on
it, 'cos it doesn't recognise them.
