AHP gives you $10 off per month with the HoF code found on the right of http://www.houseoffusion.com/ Altho it looks like their prices have gone up a lil' ($20) since I signed up... they're still lower cost than most (if not all) of the other VPS solutions that I've seen advertised. I've never really pursued dedicated options because i don't really -need- that much machine, nor do I have the funds to lay out for the software... so I'm not sure what dedicated generally runs. Maybe you're just getting a smokin' deal? Factor in the cost of not having to pay for an upgrade to CF8 (and 9... and 10...)? > > For e-mail, I've been using Google for domains and couldn't be happier > > with it. > > I actually looked at Google but was confused by their options...

The ads don't particularly bother me, and the spam filtering more than makes up for it (awesome spam filtering). Since going to gmail (and then google for domains), I've not even opened a mail client on my machine. Yeah, one day it might bite me in the ass when I can't get online and need access to a particular email, but it has not as of yet. Altho I'm pretty sure (like 99.9999%) that even with the free option you can use POP and IMAP to get your mail in your favorite mail client. I've been meaning to look into this just so I can have that local copy in case I ever do need it. -- I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my life. I love my wife. And I wish you my kind of success. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:274681 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
