Hi Eric, just to stop you wondering .... Truly - I am VPS all the way ...
A number of years back I was hosting everything on the end of my ADSL line, after years of hosting on the end of 64k ISDN, Satelite connections etc .. the speed when ADSL came about was nice. It was business grade ADSL 512k/512k and had a Service Level Aggreement - pretty good and reliable. I was overseas and lightning took out the transformer at the end of the street, along with the UPS and popped the power supply - I never conceived that would happen. After a lengthy phone call to my Electrician Uncle in Law - who had the keys to the house and was at least an electrician and assuring him it wasn't that hard - hey how bad is not working at all. ..... Now - I have no hardware - was it Forest Gump who said, "one less thing to worry about ...." *David Bray* http://www.brayworth.com.au da...@brayworth.com.au On 24/05/2011 8:35 AM, Eric Shubert wrote: > Thanks for clearing that up, David. > > I do wonder why people look to hosting providers for installing QMT. > You can run a small QMT domain on a PII-266MH w/ 512M (that was my > first QMT host).
