| 310680 | 2005-01-05 08:29:00 | right now i am on dial up...... if i offer hosting i will get some sort of capped ASDL. I have friends running boxes off 128K jetstart and it works surprisingly well. You just have to watch that traffic or get a plan that just slows you down instead of charging you for extra MB. You may also want to be careful with allocating shell access to your server as it is very difficult to secure. E.g. just grant it to friends/trusted users. |

E.g. just grant it to friends/trusted users. my offer of shell access is kind of a joke... I dont think i will be offering it to anyone. as for the connection...... thinking of a speed limited ADSL plan of some sort. |

| 310683 | 2005-01-06 00:15:00 | I still stand by my "Linux distro torrent tracker" idea though I don't know much about Torrent, but won't the news about it, such as below, make it a bit redundant? BitTorrent (news.com.com) |

Whether or not you choose to obey those conditions is another story altogether. |

| 310686 | 2005-01-07 05:25:00 | Orcon lets me. I e-mailed them when I signed up (in fact it's the reason I'm with them. Static IP etc). I have about 200MB / day going through with 192k upstream (2Mbit down) and it does work really well indeed. I use a Windows box though, and certainly wouldn't offer any type of access. I'm only doing hosting for friends and existing customers though, as the 192k is pretty much full. George |
