You might try PHPWebHosting.com - you get pretty much unlimited bandwidth,
email accounts, disk space and so on with PHP, Perl and MySQL for
$9.95 a month... it's been a great service for me so far.

Okay, I'll send it to you separately so that I don't bog the rest of
the list down with it...

Yeah, for what you're doing it looks like you could do 90% of it with
PHPWebLog, Midgard or one of the other PHP content-management packages.
Take a look at: http://www.zonkerbooks.net/ and you'll get an idea for
the interface of the site using PHPWebLog, if you go to the PHPWeblog.org
site I think they have a demo you can use. 

It takes - maybe - an hour to download and install as long as you've
got PHP and MySQL properly installed. I got it up and running on the
hosting site in less than half an hour - though I spent longer than that
tweaking the site after I got it installed... Unfortunately, my strengths
do not lean towards visual design when it comes to Web sites... but it's
functional and usable. 

Take care,

Zonker
