Well cable modem ips are fairly static they only change if the cable modem is rebooted, and there are ways you can get the firwall to update the dns server securly when that happens. The problem is uptime. Home class cable modems have brief service interuptions (for a few seconds) all the time because their local loops are over booked and usually don't the most stable equipment controling them. Ist fine for a temproary solution but isn't great in the long term

Well I was thinking along the lines of a rackspace cloud box originally.

The problem is we host more than just our site so bandwidht would be an

issue because they bill based on the MB per month.

Oh and on the telex I agree they are one of the best colo providers and

they are cheaper than most. But cheeper than most is not nessisarily cheap

when you are paying for it personaly.

It might be a viable option to put the main server in wv and set up a dr

server in a rackspace cloud. That way if we do have a power issue and have

to switchover we would be fine

I was also saying it might be a good idea for us to put our email and lists

on a google mail server which we can host in their cloud for free because

of our not for profit status. We would be limited to 50 email accounts but

that would be fine.

God - I need to get this done.  Maybe my best route is to transfer everything to a fitPC and pay someone to run a static IP through cable in their house.

Telex is good but it will still cost you.

They just provide space and power you still have to purchase internet

serveice independantly.

Paul - you were just telling me a year ago that you would colocate the

server because it was cheaper.  Where was that?





 Host monster is ok but its shared hosting.

If you like I can ask if we can set it up in my fathers barn (new

insulated

barn not never used for animals) in wv. We would have to ship it down

there

but he's told me I could put servers there before.

He's got a buisness class fiber connection so the bandwidth is decent the

down side is he's usually in mane these days so if we loose remote access

it may be a week or two before we can get it back up.

Also the ac isn't all that great in the summer when he's not staying

there.

So he has had issues with ups units over heating. On the bright side you

can't beat the free colo price.

I've heard good things about Rackspace in the past. Not sure what

their pricing is or what they offer though

You can look at Host Monster or Blue Host ... They've been getting good

consistent reviews. I've used hostrocket once but no real

spectacular service. In fact when you call in with a ticket to open, it

takes plenty of time to get it resolved.



 How about rack space?

Any suggestions?
