Go with the no-brainers, devote no more then 10 seconds to think about hosting, it's not 1999.
pair.com, dreamhost, for 99% of your needs they probably can do it all. Yes, in 1999 we paid $25,000 per MONTH for hosting, today a rock bottom account on dreamhost is probably 100X better. Once you make your fist 100G, and you actually have health and dental insurance for everyone - THEN think about managing your own servers, but not before. Don't waste any time on hosting issues, work on your SITE (IMHO) :-) PS, in 2008 I am no longer a "Consultant", I'm now an "Adviser" :-) On Dec 25, 2007 5:31 PM, inforequest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Michael Hernandez sequethin-at-gmail.com |nyphp dev/internal group use| > wrote: > > > you can also check dreamhost (who's affiliate program I am a member > > of), they have a nice way of setting up users and managing bandwidth > > and space for accounts which is great for reselling. you can also > > choose between php 4 and 5, and there are other niceties.
