My business server is hosted. There is just no way I can provide the bandwidth or reliability the business demands in a home environment. ISP maintenance outages occur 2-3 times a year, and although I might not care if I can't access the web between 2 and 4am one wednesday night, clients and visitors from the US or Europe would have a legitimate problem. Unless you can put in the infrastructure to guarantee 99.99% uptime in your home (redundant internet connections from different providers, backup power generator, climate controlled room, backup systems that work when you go on holiday for a month, etc) you are taking a big risk with your livelihood going DIY. I've had the occasional issue with my host, but overall it is a very acceptable level of business risk and well worth the money. - Noven -- >-- Novensiles divi Flamen --< > Miles Militis Fons < -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The dsl guys couldn't guarantee speeds better than 256k both ways, but Comcast was happy to sell me loads of bandwith. Their package was around that for the 8mb down / 768kb up , + a static IP. The only catch was the hefty two hundred fifty dollar installation fee that was waived only with a 2 year commitment. FWIW, many isp's also _don't_ block port 80. In fact, the DHCP ips of both my friends on DSL and myself seem entirely open. One friend of mine has configured his router with hosts.deny, and therefore he has no true firewall; I can even get through on the finger port, telnet, smtp, ssh -- everything. On my home server (comcast cable), I am very happy to say that not only are all the ports open, but my connection is actually pretty good for my very low traffic needs.

I have a dedicated server now and I'll never use a shared system again. I think the problem would be the internet connection.

A car battery + inverter for UPS (all second hand of course) should see you good for not much more than the cheapest of most ISP packages per year.

You probably were not asking _too_ much. If you are dependent upon the system for your livelihood, I'd find somewhere else to host, since these folks sound like bozos.

If the machine crashes, the data center is burned down to the ground or the manager's kid pull the plug on the main server, that's a situation where they can say "not our fault, deal with it".

I checked my records and found that my root password had previously been submitted in a support ticket. I then decided I needed to reinstall my system. I requested that my host allow me access to a second machine for 2-5 days while I switch over to a clean system, after that I would turn the old system over to them and continue with the new system.
