Re: Website host

Called 'collocation', but in my opinion not necessary unless you have very =
complex database connections in place. The two providers I mentioned can s=
cript install a myriad of services instantly and offer a slew of GUI contro=
l panels to manage. While I do host much of my content locally, I also int=
egrate over the wire with hosting solutions quite effectively.

I didn't say run the server on your own network connection, but I do
do that, but you should own the box, the server itself, so that you
can go and pick it up and move to to another location should you ever
need to.
