If you aren't into maintaining a server yourself, a dedicated or "virtual dedicated" server will end up costing lots of $ for support. Shared hosting with a reseller plan is a very good choice for most people with multiple web sites to host. > I'm not looking forward to the headaches of moving, but I have to make the > move, even if I do it gradually.

Moving is a PITA fer sure, doing it gradually means extending the time that you will get calls from *some* clients because they are impatient waiting for the DNS changes to go through...a matter of personal taste I 'spose... I like these guys, they keep their servers at ThePlanet.com which is a company out of Texas that has MASSIVE connectivity. You can get a reseller plan for them through a company called Hostgator out of Florida - good people that have grown a lot in the past few years but unlike a lot of companies they keep hiring support staff - that's a good thing. http://www.hostgator.com/resellers.shtml The "Aluminum" reseller plan will probably be enough for you, easy to upgrade. No, I don't work for them. Have used them myself though, and still keep a few domains running with them even though I've moved up to dedicated boxes with ThePlanet myself. -- cheers, Mark ____ The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
