I have a dedicated server now and I'll never use a shared system again. I think the problem would be the internet connection. I've heard that most ISPs block port 80 so you can't run a webserver from a "home" connection. I think business connections are expensive. I'm only paying $75/month now. - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
