Re: web hosting

I've been happy with GoDaddy's hosting and Domain services. I've been self hosting most of my sites lately, but for high load or high availability sites, I use GoDaddy.

I run 1103's site, and some personal sites on a previously unused desktop. It doesn't take a very powerful machine to be a webserver.

If you have a large ISP they may not like it, but if you're ISP is local they probably won't have an issue with it. You might even be able to get a new sponsor.
