I think most WebDNAusers rent/lease their server hardware these days. Maybe youdisagree, and maybe you're right. I could be wrong, but:Given the minuscule cost of a commodity VPS, it makes no sense(for me anyways) to deal with any hardware or network accessissues when a professional hosting company will deal with all thisfor me -- and charge me a pittance for a VPS that I controlexclusively and therefore personally setup and configure with mychoice of OS and all other software, WebDNA included.> ... because most hosting companies NEVER heard of webdna and > the one that does wants a fortune per domain.When you're managing the server software yourself like I do, itdoesn't matter if a hosting company knows anything about WebDNAbecause they have nothing to do with it! So I couldn't care lessif most hosting companies have ever heard of WebDNA -- because Ican still run it on their hardware without a problem.This allows me to AVOID investing in hardware that will becomeobsolete in a few years, dealing with colocation services, settingup a physical server in my home/office, etc., etc.Believe me, I went through the stage of running my own serverhardware while I was living in Hawaii a very long time ago, and itwas never a simple or pleasant thing to do. There was alwayssomething I had to attend to. Something always needed tweaking orfixing or replacing. or the colo host was having issues or neededto move to a new building or whatever.
