Thanks so much for the wide variety of insights shared to this post. Seeing that I am not a programmer or system administrator by profession, I certainly appreciate the terms (PHP, MySQL, Apache webserver, etc.) being broken down to simpler terms within each of the responses. I am confident I know enough now to get started. If I should have more questions, I will create a new post identifying my concern and request assistance.
Have a good rest of the day everybody.
