Co-locating can be pretty cheap, but someone has to setup all the stuff. Whether you do it yourself, or pay someone, all depends on your needs. I agree with you on handling your own installation, but there is a trade-off of time obviously. > > > > >Does anyone here offer services such as using SSH to install Tomcat remotely? > >We would be willing to pay for someone to install Tomcat in a short timeframe. > > > I doubt it.

In this case, I doubt it would benefit much to have Apache on a different box. I like Apache mostly for the more tested environment and handling of SSL, Virtual Hosts, etc. Oscar --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
