Yeah...I agree. It is important to judge a host on what is really important, rack, pipe, power, and service...as well as reputation.
I run my own small but incredibly reliable hosting company and was offered a good some to host a huge amount of adult content on my servers, but turned it down because I don't want my name (my company or myself) associated with that. It was hard to turn down the account, or that is, the money that would have been gained, but I am happy with my decision. -- Josh Trefethen :::::[ Exciteworks, Inc ]::[ http://exciteworks.com ]:::::. ::[ cf hosting on linux ]::[ consulting ]::[ expertise ]::. -----Original Message----- From: samcfug [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 7:53 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: MX Hosting AFAIK I do not see the reason for concern about in what language the hosting companies' web site is. If I am shopping for a host, that is what I want, I just want a host, not design expertise, development, etc. I would be purchasing the space, reliability, the bandwidth, and an FTP account to upload my own design/development. I would want prompt responsiveness to problems, and to get the server side tasks taken care of. I would want access to the log files, and I would run my own stats analysis via HTTP. I would expect to be responsible for how my site appears and functions. I could not give any weight whatsoever to the hosting companies' home pages, etc. Another item of info I would require is whether or not the hosting company hosts ADULT or PORN web sites, or supports spammers, as I would not want to be associated with that type of operation,. ===================================== Douglas White group Manager mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.samcfug.org ===================================== ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony Weeg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 9:21 AM Subject: RE: MX Hosting | I think....the answer lies in the url .... .php? | man, if I was touting cf hosts, and I was hoping people | were going to support me, wouldn't I want to be using cf myself? | | not knocking whoever is hosting it, | just kinda doesn't make sense....thats all. | | ..tony | | Tony Weeg | Senior Web Developer | UnCertified Advanced ColdFusion Developer | Information System Design | Navtrak, Inc. | Mobile workforce monitoring, mapping & reporting www.navtrak.net | 410.548.2337 | | -----Original Message----- | From: Candace Cottrell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] | Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 10:16 AM | To: CF-Talk | Subject: RE: MX Hosting | | | You mean the fact that it's a PostNuke site? | | | Candace K.
