Amazon seems to have are really cheap starter for only $5/month which can be upgraded to a fairly heavy weight one for $80/month. But the ones that I looked at all have a "maximum included transfer limit" before you starting getting "overage" charges for transferring more data (over the IP connection). Costs appear to be "all over the place". Rackspace and LiquidWeb seem to be, relatively, expensive. I don't have any actually experience, but you could do a search on "vps comparison" to get some reviews. One I found is at: http://www.comparevps.com/ -- "Irrigation of the land with seawater desalinated by fusion power is ancient. It's called 'rain'." -- Michael McClary, in alt.fusion Maranatha! <>< John McKown ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
