I dont know about triband, but a good proportion of BSNL > dynamic IPs are blacklisted. Just to add an warning, Triband charges are with limit on the data-throughput that you will be allowed. eg. if you are on 199 plan, you are allowed 400MB data transfer free of cost. After that you pay Rs. 1.20 per MB. If you are hosting a website and it gets good traffic, each person coming to the site is costing you money, as the webserver will serve the page and Triband will count it as data transfer. If the site is heavy, with lots of pictures, etc, the cost goes up.
We have groupware software and CRM software hosting on webservers through triband connections. However, this is on a Cyber B plan costing Rs. 8000 per month and giving 12GB of data transfer per month, which we have not crossed so far. In this case, hosting the site inside the office makes sense as otherwise, 200+ local users will have to access the internet and will add to my bandwidth (plus speed loss) as compared to having 20 travelling employing it from outside the office. It would make sense to figure out what is the actual cost of hosting the site. Regards Saswata -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
