texte = Chiming in from the American East Coast.....We believe you get what you pay for. Our non-WebDNA hosting is $20/month for just about everything that was listed on that crazy advertisement. $25/month if you want email. I'm happy to show people that we have 2 T1 lines, terminating at 2 different phone company location, and that all our servers each have over an hour of battery backup, SCSI RAID 5 arrays and multi processors, with tape backup, oh and they run Linux. Did I mention that they've all been running for over 800 days now?When people ask us why we are still so expensive I ask them to prove the reliability of the other companies and equipment, but they usually can't.Sorry, I could not help myself here. Any chance I get I also like to show off :-)Louis A Perosi NJ-Singles.com Psi Prime, Inc.Jesse Williams-Proudman wrote:> On 9/3/02 9:16 PM, Kenneth Grome
