You said, and I quote ... "any host who take the time to optimize for google is probably not worth investigating." - that's what I based my comment on.
That just seemed like a fairly outlandish statement to make and so I expressed my opinion. I believe I'm entitled to that. By the way, Rackspace is on the first page of Google when I search for "dedicated windows hosting", I certainly wouldn't classify them as being "not worth investigating" - although they're not in my price range. Your opinions are yours and are equally as valid as mine and I think we can ALL do without the hostillity.

I got your diagram right here though. If you disagree, and would like to buy from someone in the first 5 pages, go right ahead. I don't care...I don't see how it applies to the topic though. I said I would start at page 5...not that you should. It is a common strategy though. I was just offering my opinion, having been in the hosting business for almost 5 years now considering that there is probably thousands of hosters in the world the world that will do a 99-150 dedicated server of widely varying quality. Personally..I'd drive over to the local isp with a server in hand and ask if they would plug it in and try not to spill coffee in it. Don't have a Venn diagram of why that would be a good idea though, so it may not be valid in your world. -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thursday, July 10, 2003, 10:54:29 PM, you wrote: JM> So wanting to be found in the world's most popular search engine JM> means you're a bad company?
