[cfaussie] RE: [OT] ADSL Q

[Laszlo Simity]

I agree with Sarah.  However, I think when you're talking about DSL in general, it's really going to depend on who you buy it from.  Agreed that Telstra's wholesale network is not 100% stable (although I haven't had a disconnection in 2 months now), others including Request DSL etc. will provide you a business quality line with guaranteed uptime.  I can comment that here at work with Request we haven't had downtime in 6 months, and never more than 2 hours, hosting our own sites etc.  It's SDSL though....

Even on a 1.5/256k connection with ADSL, that's still only 256k up, which is going to be pretty pitiful with more than a couple of users.

Remember that you're not allowed to carry on a business using a home ADSL connection....check the terms and conditions.  There are relatively cheap business connections around however.

I would recommend against hosting on ADSL purely because its asynchronous ... effectively meaning data traveling in one direction at one time.

 

If you really wanted to go that path, SDSL would be the better option, however = more expensive.

 

Thanks,

Sarah.

Subject: [cfaussie] [OT] ADSL Q

Would anyone on this list pay to have their ColdFusion websites cheaply hosted on a ADSL line, or on a ADSL line with your own server? (And being able to put/use any CF tag or DLL on it....)

 

Do a lot of people have sufficient knowledge to host their own websites, i.e. run Apache, IIS, SQL Server etc.?

 

Is this an area only interesting to sell to end-users and not CF developers?

 

Cheers for any response.

 

Taco

 

PS. I hope this is not an inappropriate question to ask on this list...!!
