RE: [MLUG] Virtual Server Hosting

["Matt Krause" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Hmmmm....that looks pretty good. Maybe a little pricier than I am wanting to
spend, but that is pretty much exactly what I am looking for.  I'll have to
strongly consider that. Thanks.

How much were you looking at spending? If you just want dedicated hosting
I've been pretty happy with 1and1.com. I have a self-managed machine with
them for $50/month and it comes with 40GB of hdd space and 500GB a month of
free bandwidth. It came with RedHat 9 on it I think but I wiped that out and
installed Fedora Core which I then customized the hell out of. Extremely
fast Net connection.. pretty much the fastest I've ever seen. Can add
domains, ips, etc from their handy web based account admin tool. You can
even reboot the machine into an emergency 'oh gawd I fscked it up' mode and
use that to log back in and fix things.. handy if you do something like
delete the network interfaces (which I did). They were kind of slow on the
initial setup but everything since has been very good.
