Web Hosting
Web hosting doesn't get much easier than with DreamHost. Their prices are low, service is great, bucket loads of features and easy to use. Because of the very generous storage limits of DreamHost (they aren't really limits), we can have 2Gb of audio stored online and we haven't even reached 1% of our limit!
Stock Photos
iStockPhoto are a great source of very reasonably priced, quality stock photography.
Icons
There are a small number of original icons on the site, but the majority are from the Silk collection, a free icon set from FamFamFam.
