Adding to some of the other responses ... It depends if you want a dedicated machine with root access on a rack, colocate your own, or be virtually hosted. As for having a dedicated machine, I've been using 888.net/Triple8.net for over eight years. I had used three other providers prior to this over a period of four years, being dissatisfied either by price or expectations of service. I hope the longevity of the association attests to my satisfaction. While I'm not a hyper-geek, remote access requires that you have solid, basic sysadmin chops and another fedora-list member's advice to keep a local box for testing is seconded by me. I've had a enough white-knuckled experiences on the live machine, paying for it with some proverbial skin. But 95% of the problems that I have encountered were my responsibility, not 888.net's. > Thanks. fyi, Max Pyziur pyz@xxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
