Re: Website host

Which is fine, if, in your analogy, your staff includes both excellent
journalists and outstanding press operators....otherwise, I believe in
leaving the complexities of running a web server to the professionals
who specialize in that. They do it better than anyone on my staff could.
I've used Hostway.com for many years and have been well-satisfied.

on is a bit like owning a newspaper but not owning the press it is =20
printed on. You will always be at someone else's mercy in such a =20
situation.
