I don't think they have a schedule posted for when that will start. I started out at RootBSD on 6.2, and when FreeBSD 7 was first offered by them (about a month ago), they were nice enough to setup a 7.0 VPS for me, and give me a liberal amount of time for me to move my data over from my 6.2 VPS. > My main concern is disk space; I have 2GB for ~$26 per month. This too is my only gripe about JohnCompanies. For $29 a month, I only get a VPS with 2GB of space -- and they don't allow you to add more diskpace unless you upgrade to a higher ($49/month) plan. Contrast that with RootBSD, where I pay $19 a month and I get 10GB of space. On the JC server, one can easily fill up that 2GB by building various ports (I did it by running "cd /usr/ports/graphics/ImageMagick; make install"). The RootBSD box comes with 10GB of space which is more than enough to build almost any port. I am sticking with both for now, only because JC reliability/uptime is purported to be excellent. Granted, I've not had any hardware or connectivity issues with either provider yet, so I've not yet experienced any serious problems firsthand. I should also add that they both have excellent customer service and response times, I've been pleasantly surprised with how good the support from both places are. hth, Thomas _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
