What the Heck I'll get on the bandwagon myself. Most people on this list are far more experienced with linux, web hosting and computers than I am. I'm absolutely impressed with the plug community and the knowledge and experience they share with each other. I have a co-located machine at Inflow http://www.inflow.com/location-details.asp/8 )that has some decent sites running on it. I don't have any (glitzy or otherwise) front end or automated account setup -- though I hope to get the free time to get that going. The only contract is: I am against, and will not tolerate spam, and that I'm only satisfied if you are. I thought it would be neat to have my own web server. I never knew it was going to be so "fun and educational" *-) linux looked neat neat, and I felt could build a server, create a website and get an online store to work for a friend. My WHP at that time would not even answer my emails... let alone talk to me on the phone. This has proven to be an ongoing education. The questions my clients come up with amaze me. No claims to being a genius here. But things seem to get sorted out to everyone's satisfaction. I am interested in folks that want to pay a reasonable price for a reasonable service. I like it when clients become advocates. I am a PSA fan and get a hoot out of chatting with the folks over in Novosibirsk http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/cia04/russia_sm04.gif PSA with all the latest patches. RH now but maybe something else later (like all the positive Debian comments). Redundant everywhere it makes $$ sense... raid, firewall, routers, nics.
