Why not make your own? A Linux box makes an excellent server.
That's definitely an option, thanks for the suggestion, Mr. Knott. I currently use free WordPress, free Google web hosting, as well as a free wiki.wiki account. I don't see a reason to bring this in-house for now, I basically just serve static content, not doing any e-commerce... the price is right, but can I do better? I have to ask myself what can I achieve with as little server maintenance as possible and maximize availability, while spending something I'm comfortable with? For the pricing I'm seeing, and also for the pricing I'm not seeing (try to figure out costs from places that price by the hour, and throw in a monthly "service" fee), and the benefits of having a web site hosted in a data center, I think that buying a web hosting plan could potentially be very cost-effective. I could set up the server (GNU/Linux or OpenBSD), but I have limited free time. thanks for your time, Daniel Villarreal http://www.youcanlinux.org/
