Re: Anyone running their own Servers & DNS versus renting space/services from an ISP or Hosting??

Why not lease a dedicated machine in your favourite flavour. That way you have the reliability of a hosting company that monitors 24-hrs, provides generators, UPS, etc. but will have full control over site, configuration, etc. There are many dedicated servers available in NT/2000/Linux/Cobalt Raq/etc. that start at < $100 USD/mo. Understand, though that you are responsible for updates, etc. including security. -- P ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andre Bajew" <AndreBajew@TechnologyArt.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2001 7:51 PM Subject: [PHP] Anyone running their own Servers & DNS versus renting space/services from an ISP or Hosting?? > Hi all, > > I'm contemplating moving one of my larger sites off of a hosting company > over to my own PIII 1 Gigahertz.
