i do some research on the internet about vps server. Basicly, if you are looking for VPS. go for XEN based VPS because it is better. Basicly there is two package, unmanaged and managed VPS. Unmanaged is cheaper.
With VPS you have to install the package on your own. So, sure you can install Exim, Apache and SpamAssasin on the server. You need VPS with at least 256MB dedicated memory. On my survery, you need at least $20-$35 to get this kind of VPS. The cheapest i got so far. But not with very good costumer review is http://wsservers.com http://wowvps.com If you find any better VPS than this one. I really love to know. I am glad if you can share it with me. good luck ;) On 10/13/08, Reid Priedhorsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear all, > > I currently run e-mail and web services for my little domain from my home > box, connected to the net with DSL.
