Hello,

I'm really excited about linode.com.  But I'm excited because I want
to see if its any good before signing up myself and moving my email
and websites over from pair.

Which brings me to...

I finally heard back from pair, and they said they would let us have
10 mailing lists.

That means that for about $17.99 / month plus a 20% discount (so call
it $15 / month), we would get:

- 80GB/month transfer
- 1500MB disk space
- 10 MySQL databases
- 800 mailboxes
- 10 additional FTP logins
- Access by Telnet, SSH, FTP
- Telephone Support
- Perl 5, PHP 4 Module, and more
- 10 mailing lists (wplug special)


That would satisfy our hosting needs, and it would be cheaper than linode.com.

The upside is that we would have less administration to do (since we
don't have root access) and that we would be getting more or less a
known quantity.

The downside is that we wouldn't have root access, and that there
would be a single login account.  Definitely not the end of the world.


Beth Lynn, try to contact aspStation.  They're going to have to go
pretty low to meet our budget, but they do offer the most.

Everybody else, do you think I should pass this on to more or other
mailing lists?  I know that Vance replied when I sent this to
wplug-plan, and I don't think he's subscribed to wplug-internet.

This is why we decided to wait 10 days before busting out the check book!

Mike
