Re: Web Hosting

Thanks for the thoughts everyone. I am looking at rimuhosting right now. I
looked at godaddy and while they do allow me to install stuff and there
prices are very reasonable, I am a firm believer in you get what you pay
for. I think it would be better for me to spend 30-40 a month then 5-10 a
month for hosting. The reviews I have read so far about rimuhosting seem on
the whole very positive and looking over their packages and the os/hardware
packages I am quite happy. My project is nearing the point where I need it
hosted separately not just locally on my box. It is still a long way from
complete but it is getting to the point where I need a permanent structure,
that I don't have to mimic across 2 or 3 development boxes. I am planning
on releasing the project under some sort of open source license so the
discount idea sounds good to me.
