Drupal 6.x

What hosting client has got the least amount of traffic but still provides (willingness to) support for Drupals 5.7 or 6 or greater ?

Because slow speeds are a real turn off in the world of Drupal when you have to edit a site online with heavy accompanying online trafffic, which leads to question #2

I'm considering using Drupal for a web site for our horse farm. (Currently, we have almost nothing, so no history to port.)

I'm trying to grok the Drupal way of doing things, but I've only gotten a little way into it with the time I have for this project. I'm a programmer by trade (Java) and know a little HTML and CSS, so that might help when making explanations. Unfortunately, I don't have much php or database experience. (I do know some SQL.) I'm reading through the IBM articles (about half way through), but at the moment, am having trouble applying the information to my site.

Basic desired design:

I'd like different main sections for the site -- about us, news, shows, horses for sale, the general breeding program, etc.

I'd like /horses/ or similar to be pages about individual horses. Such a page would indicate whether that horse was for sale, maybe have a picture with links to more, some paragraphs of description and then maybe a pedigree chart. I'd also like to be able to include side blocks with references to other parts of the site like shows or news if they relate at all to this horse.

Here's what I think I know :-)....

Quick background:
Drupal 6.0
Running on Windows Server 2003
Apache/PHP
Set up and running Virtual Hosts

This is my first post here. Found Drupal through the Joomla site while I researched for a solution to the following problem. So far this looks like a great project that would be fun to work with but here is my dilemma!

I want to develop a CMS that can handle users in the following manner.

User A has access to general information including public forum access.

User B has special privileges that will allow them User A's access level plus access to secure information and access to a private forum.

I currently have a mediawiki site and I want to import the articles into Drupal. I found the flexifilter module, and have tried the built in mediawiki filter, but it needs some tweaking. It turns all my internal links into links to Wikipedia's site. Has anyone created a flexifilter that does a better import. Also, it doesn't do well with latex math. I appreciate any suggestions you might have.

Thank you.

Umm I think protected node is what I need to do what I want... I want to just make one page password protected. and I want to learn to use 6.0. I tried changing all the things that needs to be changed when porting from 5.x

What Iv done with the module:
