There are many people out there that offer this service. Go to any webhosting forum and ask for some referrals. The reason I say this is because it seems that A LOT of people think they can make a quick buck off of webhosting without any "real" work. These are usually the companies that fail quickly and give the hosting industry a bad name. Running any type of business requires some thought and experience. There are a lot of minor issues that will stump a self described "newbie" and having someone there to assist you will make your life and the life of your clients that much easier. -CM
