Re: [SLUG] Re: bandwidth co-op (was:web hosting)
For web hosting, Interland (another US company) is pretty responsive. If you're writing your own CGI, they work out US$10/month cheaper than pair.com. Also, after your first deployment, subsequent websites go down to $13/month thanks to their developer program.

They claim to be the largest independent hosting service in the world and I have been most impressed with them. Have a read of their technical setup and tell me what you think. Sorry for the confusion but I do wish Australia did have such a service.

Seems this site has been redirected and requires you to download plugins
to get anywhere. That is a write off in my books.
If you are going to recommend stuff, please be open and honest about all
the requirements - it helps keep your credibility up. Once a site moves
beyond text and few graphics, it has been my experience that it is very
unreliable. If I'm paying for hosting, I want it to work for everyone,
not just IT PHD's.

> understanding of what Transact will offer wrt internet connectivity? If you are looking for bandwidth for web hosting (which is how I think this thread started) then how about five DS-3's and one OC-3c connected to five world-class network service providers for $US5.95 per month? Have a look at http://www.pair.com.au. I've been using them for over a year for multiple sites and the service has been fantastic.
