I've sold hosting for game servers and other applications for some time, but it's standard practice here to deny anything which requires Java. I was talking to a long-time friend in the same business a few days ago and he had to pull the plug on one of his larger nodes for a few hours because he sells hosted Minecraft instances which relies heavily on Java. Well needless to say, Java was hacked and his network became wide open. It's a sad reality. * * * * *Raymond Beaudoin* Founder | Icarus Technologies
