If you want control and cost, go with Linode and Slicehost, like Stuart recommended. For $20 or so a month, you get your own virtual machine that you can modify to your heart's content. Plus it will have a faster and more reliable network connection than a server at home would. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868 /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
