dlewis23 Posted January 18, 2007 CID Share Posted January 18, 2007 Yep thats it. WOW a $150 a month is kinda a wast for just that. i was thinking a shared setup if your going to just do that, but its your money... i would look here, http://www.theplanet.com/selfmanaged_servers/?series=1 the server starts at $69 a month.
