All:
Thank you for your excellent suggestions, and thoughts about local

Hi:
I was going to stay off this thread as I know of no local datacenter providers;
but after taking a
peek at www.slicehost.com I'm curious why it makes top choice?
Virtualized hosting has been around for some time. I can understand the appeal
of not having to manage
all the resources
A challenger appears...

Dynamic Network Services is based in New Hampshire. Might be as local

If you are considering hosting your own, there's a handful of

This was a few years ago, but Waitsfield and Champlain Valley Telecom

Ideally, they'd offer Debian GNU/Linux, but I don't really care as long

seems to be nothing to complain about with slicehost.

There is a local ISP in Bellows Falls (Sovernet) you might want to get in

While physical location of the hosting is of little relevance to
the hosting customers, it is important to the hosting services
themselves. Microsoft and Google are both buying land to build
