  • I have absolutely no idea. :-)
    • heh. That's good.

      BTW at slickhosting, what is your setup? Do you lease virtual machines off boxes in a colo, or do you have your own?
      • Our own boxes, with our own custom management software and everything. Sadly, we're too lazy to do any marketing, so we don't have enough customers to pay for a decent connection. If high bandwidth isn't a big priority for you, I'd be happy to answer any other questions you might have. It's good enough for my site. ;-)
        • would you colo it?

          Or how about giving me a box to myself. What'd that cost? ::giggles::

          I mean, what, are they rackmount PIIIs? A Sun with multiple domains?
          • Damn, I wish we could offer colo. Unfortunately, in addition to our connection being a lowly cable modem, we can only get three IP addresses from our ISP, all of which we're using. So, unfortunately, colocation is out of the question until we can afford to dump some real money into this thing. IP-based virtual hosts and anonymous FTP are also out of the question.

              • Cox. Right?

                So we're almost in the same boat.

                I _wish_ they offered the business service in my area but stupidly they only offer residential service. I suppose it's easier to get T1s around here than other cities, but what about power users at home!

                If I had that, I wouldn't have been asking you for colo... ^_^
                My upload is crap, and they firewall port 80. Also, most upstream mailservers have figured out my netblock is residential so I get silently dropped when I push mail.

                What am I going to do...
