I was going to be creating a small business web-site for my brother, and I was going to use SiteGround for my Drupal/web-hosting site. I do currently use them for one other non-profit Drupal 5.x site.
So, since we may want to expand this site to include email, and e-commerence, etc, I thought SiteGround might be the place to do it. If anyone can suggest another site that offers such features for a small-business Drupal based site, please let me know.
Secondly .. one I get Drupal on this new hosting site (SiteGround or any other), it will be mostly anonymous users, so I may not have much use for the login except for some admins. I am pretty sure I can keep a login button on the main site, or somewhere, and for the most part keep it hidden for 99.999% of the visitors there. Can someone let me know if this is correct or incorrect?
Thanks. Tom

Yes, you can even remove the block and let the admins enter the ?q=/user directly to get the login screen.

That is what I do. The login block is disabled, but anyone that needs to login is told to go to:
www.somesite.org/user
There they can login.

In Drupal 5.7, I have the login block disabled under blocks admin. I added an option to the navagation menu, called "login", with a description of "administrative users log in here" or some such, and a path of "/user/login". Example at http://www.newlifehv.org.
That sounds similar to what you want to do. You could leave off the menu portion of this, and just give your administrative users a direct URL to login, be it "/user", "/user/login", or the "/?q=user" version that Earny suggested.
