Hi; On the subject of virtual servers, you may wish to check out Easyspace: http://www.easyspace.com/virtual_servers I freely admit that I may well be biased (since that's where I work), but nonetheless I feel it's a good set of offerings at a good price. - Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam ___ Scottish mailing list Scottish@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish

Re: [Scottish] Hosting recommendations
John, I have nothing but positive experiences of http://www.mythic-beasts.com/ They provide a service they call VDS - Virtual Dedicated Server - where you can rent a virtual machine with a small - but functional - amount of memory and have local root and (virtual) console access. I used to have my personal web and email server on a virtual Debian server there for about £10 per month - only reason I left was because I switched to a broadband provider (Zen) with fixed Ip addresses so I now can run the same thing for free at home.

I am looking for recommendations. Any ideas? I've been hosting my stuff on Linode for the last few years. It's a proper virtual server (UML instance, they have Xen ones as well IIRC), rather than a hosting service per se. I like having root and the responsibility for service configuration, with somebody else dealing with the hardware, YMMV. - Aidan -- e/msn: [EMAIL PROTECTED] g:aidan.skinner aim/y!: aidans42 http://aidan-skinner.livejournal.com/ ssh-rsa: http://aidan.skinner.me.uk/pubkey.rsa gnupg: http://aidan.skinner.me.uk/pubkey.gpg ___ Scottish mailing list Scottish@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish

Don't DreamHost work by gigantic overselling? I'm sure if you started getting anywhere near that 'allowance', you'd be reprimanded faster than an 'unlimited download' mobile broadband customer :) Alex On Fri, 28 Nov 2008 01:35:58 +, William Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Philip Ward wrote: >> Use plusnet (www.plus.net) as your ISP and part of the package is >> their cgi server which gives you 50MB space to run your own perl and >> php scripts plus a mysql database. > > 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.

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.

Re: [Scottish] Hosting recommendations
Use plusnet (www.plus.net) as your ISP and part of the package is their cgi server which gives you 50MB space to run your own perl and php scripts plus a mysql database. I'm running phpbb3, wordpress and my own small perl scipts from mine and they work fine. If they are not flexible enough then you need your own virtual server such as bytemark.co.uk can provide.
