That depends on what exactly you need?

Hosting, development, graphic design, plugin development etc?

guyslounge,

Go to the Developers tab, there are tons of freelancers. Also, if you host with GoDaddy, you can intsall elgg and have it running in less than 5 minutes w/o any knowledge whatsover! You can just add "Delux Hosting" to your domain for $7.00 a month. This will get you started until you outgrow that server, then when you bring in the $$$ you can get yourself a dedicated server :)
