Try sweethome.co.il. I use them for shared hosting, but they also offer dedicated and VPS. If I recall correctly, they are a bit pricier than some of the ISPs. Anyhoo, dedicated hosting prices in israel are crap. If you bring your own server it will cost you more than a rented server with roughly the same specs abroad. > Another question.

You can expect ~200ms latency from teh US, that is noticeable. You can host in europe if you want a bit better latency but without the ripoff prices in Israel. I did a project a couple of years where the main website was hosted in the US, and was meant for US and Israeli users alike. What we did eventually was put an image server in Israel, sync it with the images on the main server constantly, etc. It did get us a lot of speed gain since this app has a lot of images on it. > In other words, is the price difference justified by quality of service? If your audience is Israeli, yes. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
