Re: PHP hosting - the final frontier.

Chris, This all sounds good but for one thing: I firmly believe that one man with a root password is not enogh to look after even one client. I have hosted with 3 one-man-companies, and it always came to the point where I couldn't reach someone for a week, or I waited for 3 months, only to be granted connect privileges to the mysql database - no offense meant! I think it's just too much for one man, you cannot be available 24/7, and you will want holidays. Still, a PHP-specialized hosting environment would be worth much.
