Hi,

The servers seem to be loacted at The Planet data center.
http://theplanet.com/

one of the best DC's in US.

the cost of running a server in US is far cheaper than in Aus
.eg Win Std SPLA lic @ USD $10/month compared to AU$40-50/month in Aus

hence you get alot cheaper pricing than you would see in Aus

it doesnt always mean the webhost provides a bad servce just because the
price is low..:)


cheers
Joel

.ps
DC's also offer discounted CF and SQL servers.. something you wont get here
in Aus.

I will be diplomatic about my comments about these companies as I am in
the same business, hosting, if at a different level, but they are both
Australian companies and both host out of Texas, USA, if traceroutes
mean anything, so they are definitely not on ADSL pipes :-)  The first,
MationalConnect, ends up at http://sharedssl.info/ from the traceroute,
and if you go to that link it looks interesting...........

Just think of the cost of a server, the cost to put it in a datacentre
with an Internet connection and then add the cost of the software
licenses, you end up with a 4 figure sum _per month_ to cover. To get
that back at $90 per annum means an awful lot of sites on one machine.......


HTH,
