As I mentioned in the earlier post, it simply isn't an option with them. And, I can't force them to follow this route. I made the suggestion, they listened and decided otherwise. Also, an FYI, the site is heavy enough on the hardware that we would be force to colo rather than just purchase a virtual server account. So, the price is a good bit higher.
