In other words, here are the reasons for our choice : 1 - leeware, it's good, good prices but it's unmanaged, which means we have to do everything and in case a system crash, we need to write the guy so that he can reboot the machine.. and we can't do it remotely... 2 - rackforce.. it doesn't give enough info about their service, and I don't like that that much... 3 - startlogic.. they're good, but only a 3 month subscribtions + activaton fee... + they don't seem to give root access... 4 - clicserv, it's a dedicated server, not a virtual dedicated server, and the price is so low.. it sounds too good to be true, and I don't trust them at all... 5 - webintelects, it has a registration fee...
The choice was either Leeware or webintelects... after viewing some reviews on WHT, we realized some stuff : 1 - Leeware is maintained by Lee (not clear_beast :P) and only him, it's not a company, it's a single guy who decided to do this stuff... and it seems his connection speed might not be 'optimal'... 2 - Webintelects is a company and has had good reviews... So only because of webintelects and the fact that it is a company, I'd like to go with it, because we don't want to have a one guy behind our stuff.. support is very important, and I think we can get better support from a company from a 'one guy in his garage'... About the domain, I thought about keeping amsnforums.net, we'll need to ask Yves if he wants to sell us the domain he has or not.. and we can also choose amsn.org or amsn.net (.net is better since it will be 'compatible' with amsnforums.net) . amsn.net is already bought by some domain sellers.. Phil proposed amsn-project.net... I don't know! But to avoid any problems with M$, we'll have to get an alibi for the 'amsn' name... there is already an amsn.com website for another company, if we want amsn.net we should choose a non problematic name.. like "Another messenger"... or something... I'm not saying amsn won't be amsn, but I'm saying that we'll keep 'amsn' but we'll need to officialize the meaning of the acronym... that's about it...
