You enjoy the challenge. Great! I must say, though, It's silly to suggest that the security (with or without padlock) of a well-designed, well-monitored datacenter is somehow inferior to keeping a server in the office. There are *so* many benefits other than security that come along with hosting in a datacenter - if your operation keeps growing, you'll likely need to consider real datacenter space at some point. From a cost perspective, it's just not feasible to think individual small companies can even come close to the level of security, reliability, connectivity, and environmental conditions offered by a professional datacenter. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
