There's one very interesting thing both in the original question and John's answer. OP did not specify what country he lives in. John responds mentioning one provider from USA, and the other also in unspecified country. Either John knows for sure that OP lives in the USA - in this case there's no issue - or we have here an example of something that is widely known on the Internet as "USA defaultism": an implicit assumption that everybody who participates in an Internet discussion lives in the USA. Often, for eg. legal and financial reasons, it is preferred - or even necessary - to host your server in the country you are living in (or at least with a company that has an official presence in the country you are living in), and this is the main factor influencing the choice of a provider. I hope we'll all remember that when such questions arise. Just my "trzy grosze" (in USA you would probably say "$0.02", but I want to avoid "USA defaultism" here ;)). -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa [email protected] -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
