Well il tell you my story, I know its called soundtube but it isnt exactly like youtube, I have many contacts within the record lable industry and I want to use my knowledge of this to set up website that enables up and coming talented musicians to showcase there music. For this i charge a small fee.

In regards to your question I with a webhos (heartinternet) and I have use of the MySQL database and i am hopin to mainly implement CGI scripts bu the problem is tha i have good knowledge of html and php pages but my knowledge of database, website security and pearl are not great hence why i need the help.

with regards to the issue of uploading ilegal content, I can manage this as all music has to be confirmed by admin before it has been uploaded. I do have paypal and will probbly use them originally until i can get a merchant account soughted out.

As i said i am with heart internet and they offer a browser based website maintenance package. It enables me to upload and manage php, asp and whatever oher pages through a secure ftp server which I already have up and running. I have all the management and mantenance of the website in hand, my inly problem is the initial bulding and method to implement my plan.

Thankyou very much for your detailed reply, your help is apprciated!
