Everyone else is plugging their own business, so I'm going to join in .....
I'm hosting MX6.1 too, also PHP4.3.3, .asp, .asp.NET. even PERL for the thrillseekers. Hell you can even use Frontpage if you like! And on all but the most basic setup, MSSQLServer2000 is standard, so is MySQL if that's your thing, and unlimited other datasources. Also I don't bother putting limits on the number of mailboxes, forwarding, ftp accounts, subdomains, any of those things. The cost factors for me are bandwidth and disk space, so if you pay for what you use in those respects, you can divide the things up how you like. All controllable yourself using your own control panel. And at $20, $35, $50 per month depending on how much you use. See http://afpwebworks.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=DisplayDocument&DocumentID=4 for the specifics. If you host the sites on your own box, you have to be good at network stuff - patching, security, rights, configuration of the Win2000, and have someone around to look after physical security, power maintenance, and have a good fast pipe to the internet from the box. That's why I let someone else do all that and lease the resources I need. Other people may well know all about the networking and security stuff, but I prefer to let a specialist look after it for me.

What Taco does is ok for him, I will eventually run my own serves here in AU, Until then I want to co-host, My experience of Web Central at $800 a year is NOT good. I've often had issues with expensive ISP's when the little guy does better. For thoughts that are interested:- I will eventually host 2 servers. My desired install in Linux / Apache / CFMX / MySQL. Ill make exact copies of the install to both and set up all my sites on both. Then each month I swap the servers over swapping the IP address from one to the other making the primary machine the secondary and so on. If I get an issue i.e. hardware with the primary I just swap the IP over and reboot we are back in business. The ISP I will co-locate with will be expected to have multiple bandwidth connections and my two servers will be on different ones. The will also be expected to have power backups. (although my experience says that this is only ok if the whole datacenter is covered under the power back up). This is the set up I had in the UK and it worked well for me. It seems that its going to be pricey to do this here though so for the moment I want to buy some space. So guys where should I spend my cash?
