yeah, 6sync works out at around £110 p.a. for me whereas a good reliable shared web host is about £75 p.a. (includes five domains, MySQL, Perl, PHP, Ruby, etc). Bottom line is to me the VPS is about £2 a week. Spend more on tea bags/cat food/toilet paper (sorry all my prices are GBP). Cheers, Phil... - -- But masters, remember that I am an ass.
