Re: Host recommendations? Probably going with digitaldaze.

All I have to say is DO NOT go with Hurricane Electric! The machine I am on has over 600 users on it, sits constantly at a load of 1 (single 800MHz Pentium), 4MB of free RAM if I'm lucky, they edited my files without warning me, waited until about a week ago to upgrade to PHP4, and nobody has read perms on all of the /home/ directories so anyone with half a brain can make a small bash prompt in php and browse everyones files! BTW I just bought my own box and I have a friend who owns an ISP - so I'll be free of them soon!!!! --Joe On Wed, Nov 01, 2000 at 08:31:00PM -0500, Ross wrote: > I'm sorry to bore everyone with yet another 'Who's a good host' > inquiry but I am probably about to sign up for a virtual server > account at digitaldaze and would appreciate hearing of any recent good > or bad comments.
