[CS-FSLUG] One Last Web Hosting Post (sorry)

[Timothy Butler]

Hi everyone,
	I promise not to make this a habit (Really! Please forgive me ahead  
of time), but I wanted to do one more run with the web hosting  
special, because I had an idea I found exciting after my previous  
posting. I hope this doesn't bug anyone, but feel free to let me know  
if I did. If anyone else wants to plug their services to balance  
things out from me, let me know.

	My current server (the one these lists are on) is grandfathered in at  
a much better price than one could get it for today, I found out. With  
that in mind, rather than shutting it down (as I had planned) when I  
moved accounts over to the new server, it struck me that perhaps I  
should replace the hard disk and any other parts that might be in need  
of replacement and start it over fresh with just a few larger accounts  
on it that recognize that lower price, for those who would like  
something like a quarter or half server (like buying half a rotisserie  
chicken!).

	So, I came up with two "semi-dedicated plans" for the soon to be  
"remodeled" server. My main goal for the server is to use it as a  
place to store some backups and be available for redundancy; as such,  
I expect only to have only a few accounts on it -- meaning it will be  
fairly quiet and private on there, much more so than a normal non- 
dedicated hosting package (even my usual ones -- and I am overly  
zealous on the idea of keeping the number of accounts on a server  
down). I would expect it will have less than 10 accounts -- perhaps as  
few as two or three if a few of the XE30K, seen below, were put on it.  
None of the accounts are oversold, you would be entitled to use every  
last drop of space and bandwidth mentioned below. The soon-to-be- 
remodeled server is in Dallas, TX. I also have the older special deal  
plans below, the larger of which you could have in your pick of Dallas  
or Washington, DC (the new server), the smaller of which will only be  
in DC.

	I could also work out something custom, like a plan that offered some  
space on both servers for extra redundancy or whatever other reason  
might amuse you.

	Thanks everyone for bearing with me!

	I mention the term "virtually unlimited" on a few things below.  
That's just to say, I realize nothing can be unlimited -- there's  
bound to be a point where the server software won't do any more, or it  
causes things to jam up or whatever. But, if it doesn't cause  
problems, and I doubt anyone would add so many POP3 accounts that it  
did (etc.), then go at it. There won't be an arbitrary limit, and I'm  
not the type to inflict something like that on you later, just what it  
takes to make sure the server runs smoothly. Concerns? Let me know.
