Hello, We at SmartServ Hosting, http://www.smart-serv.net/, have been offering VPS containers supporting FreeBSD for over a year and previously ran all our services from FreeBSD on bare metal before moving into our virtualization environment where we continue to use FreeBSD for our core services.

I had some issues when they originally set my machine up (no swap slice, d'oh) but I have had good experiences with what little support I've needed since I got that sorted out. -- ``Were you arrested under false circumcisions?'' ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: freebsd hosting
www.LayeredTech.com is good for FreeBSD servers, they are flexable and offers any version of FreeBSD you need. Many other providers do not offer latest version, they still stay with version 4.x and say that is the only supported version. May be i should say, LayeredTech.com is a reason why i use FreeBSD on my servers.

Re: freebsd hosting
I have leased a dedicated host for several years with mikro-data.net who is located in Kentucky and been very happy with their pricing, service and responsiveness. Basically, I just told them what version of FreeBSD I wanted on the server and they loaded it. They sent me the root password and they haven't touched it again except at my request. It's worked out great for me. They are very friendly to open-source communities, so if you tell them you heard about them from me on the freebsd-questions mailing list, they might even give you a discounted rate. I recieved a discounted rate when I heard about them through the local LUG anyway... I don't get any perks for any of this, in case you're wondering. I would send questions about rates to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you're interested.

Thank you, I have experience maintaining FreeBSD/jail systems for a local ISP in the Pittsburgh area as well as other clients in other areas. We do not do provide hosting at this time, but I can recommend a few different providers in the Pittsburgh area, or I am willing to work with providers elsewhere.

Re: FreeBSD Hosting
Hello Joseph: I don't know about the jails part but you might want to inquire with http://www.liquidneon.com/ I use them for hosting and they are very good. They are an all FreeBSD hosting company.
