[linux-help] Re: web hosting?

["Koji Hayakawa" <sylf00@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm happy with successfulhosting.com.  My friend is happy with
novahosting.com.

I really didn't like the service we got from Sierrahosting.com.

Consult with each company's homepage for prices:  all of them have various
packages with various price tags.

There's a partial listing of hosting services that fits your need at
http://hosts.php.net.  I made good use of it.

I really have no clue if there's any local web hosting services that offer
what you need though.  And I really do recommend having a professional
company host your web site:  a lot of them have above 99.9% update
guarantee:  it's hard to do the same on your own.

But if you insist on setting up your own server:
As you might have read in PostgreSQL How-To, do spend bucks and bucks on
your hardware.  Linux/Apache/Perl/PHP/Postgres/MySQL/mSQL can work wonder
for your site, without spending a penny on them.  But you will want a
workhorse HW to serve your site.  (Although how powerful really depends on
how much of traffic you anticipate, how much cgi processing, how much
database transactions, etc, etc:  but as always, more RAM the better, SCSI
above IDE for multiple simultaneous access to drives.)
And having a true, dedicated connection can cost hefty money per month.

I really think co-location is the way to go.  (Hey, micro$oft even use
conxion as their apps download host server)
