I colo'd for a couple years. For the extra money I made on the hosting, it wasn't worth the stress. Heck. I was scared to go to Dolphin games for 3 hours fearing a server would go down and I'd have to leave at halftime. LOL That coupled with installing a microsoft security patch [what seemed like] every 45 minutes, I had no life. To me, it was MUCH easier to give the hosting, some of the profits and the majority of the headaches to someone else. I did some investigating and asked some questions when I went to CT a couple years ago and their support and service was very good and I'm still happy with them overall. Considering my stress level is down 90% from running a single web server, SQL server and mail server (3 total), I'm glad I made the move. I supposed if I wanted to concentrate solely on the hosting end, that would be different. But I really found I was over my head trying to manage web servers and work at the same time. -- Bud Schneehagen - Tropical Web Creations, Inc. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ Web Based Solutions / eCommerce Development & Hosting http://www.twcreations.com/ - http://www.cf-ezcart.com/ Toll Free: 877.207.6397 - Local & Int'l Phone/Fax: 386.789.0968 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
