[FX.php List] economical starter plan

[John May]

You can get FMSA hosting with us starting at $40/month:

	<http://www.pointinspace.com/>

No need to purchase your own FMSA license then.  In fact, you don't 
even need Developer 7/Advanced 8, as you could just upload your PHP 
code here and test or even connect your local PHP box to the 
database(s) here.
