Or don't use a grotty subsidiary of BT (sorry Philip!), and instead spend US$10.95 a month (or less per month if you pay for 3mo, 1yr, 3yrs, etc up front) and use Dreamhost - www.dreamhost.com - and get 500GB disk space and 5TB/mo transfer - yes, 500 gigabytes and 5 terabytes respectively. These limits grow the longer you remain a customer (by 2GB of disk a week and 40GB of transfer a week). You also get ssh access, cgi, php, quick-installs for popular FOSS web apps, bandwidth throttling to stop a popular site overrunning your monthly limits, mysql DBs, DNS hosting, mail (POP and IMAP) hosting etc. You also get 50 GB of ftp or sftp/rssh backup space to do with as you please (the 500GB webspace is only for use for your hosted sites), ideal for rsyncing to/from. If you feel like being nice to the neuro, mail me off list and I can give you a referral link to give me a nice kickback in american beer tokens. -n _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list Scottish@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
