Re: [WebDNA] An alternative to hosting...

numero = 103167
interpreted = N
texte = My needs are: Commercial hosting w/ scripting language (15GB Space/ 1500GB X-fer/mo) SSL (Plan on accepting credit cards through gateway) E-mail w/ Spam filtering (5 accounts) Image manipulation (ImageMagick, etc.) This is a start-up with very little money. If it becomes profitable enough to sustain a better connection, and buy a server/etc., Great! Otherwise, would I rather be out $120 for a year with GoDaddy hosting, $240 minimum for a year hosting somewhere else with WebDNA, or would I rather use the DSL connection that I have, pay $135 for my own copy of WebDNA CE, $20 for an SSL, $10/mo for a static IP, and host it myself on equipment that is just collecting dust with open source software until it becomes profitable or dies? I am still open to possibilities... I am just trying to save money right now. A one month old, and an unemployed spouse don't give me a whole lot of free cash at the end of the month.
