Regarding above; I enjoy this users group as I do code my personal web pages (very basic pages) and find interesting tips here. www.gofindajob.ca and www.crosstracks.org Commenting on the above statement. WorldCom Canada does have managed shared/dedicated hosting services and are always looking for clients who need support with Cold Fusion 5.0 and SQL 2000 with virtual host, etc.. on shared hosting even if it's as a reseller to a customer's client. Yes they do have colo facilities for those who need that type of service, but if people are looking for small hosting they do have a farm of over 25 servers for shared hosting and a support team of administrators.
