Hi Steve, > If you're comfortable with server admin you can run the versions that suit > you of things - and obviously have full root control of the virtual box... > I'm currently using Slicehost just for my demo/svn box but it's making me > want to migrate more sites to their solution when 12 months are up on > virtual hosting packages elsewhere... hmm, I'm really not looking for a server I need to keep up to date at all, but I think (need to double check) that this server won't be running email or anything like that, just www/mysql, so I reckon provided the server is patched for me I shouldn't need to touch it other than to get more oomph if required. does slicehost fit the bill there? Only concern I have is Slicehost is US based, and although this company has a foreign office, it's based in the UK, as they have a .com domain, hosting in the UK is preferable I believe for inclusion in google's uk search results. cheers, jon -- jon bennett w: http://www.jben.net/ iChat (AIM): jbendotnet Skype: jon-bennett
