Hi All,

Just looking for your views on how to host my domain. At the moment I have
'one of those' Dell servers which I upgraded to raid running centos doing
the job in a DMZ off my vigor adsl router.  I already have a full time
winxp pc for automation and one for geovision. Do I really need a third
24/7 pc? I am using dyndns for the domain name hosting as I now have a
non-static ip from talk talk.

I have had the following thoughts.

Down Side
I have to manage it
It has to be on 24/7
Doesn't seem the fastest in the world when browsing from work

Up Side
Flexibility - I can install what I want on it although it seems some
hosters offer mysql / wordpress etc.

I'm sure some (all) of you have been through this and I was interested in
your thoughts.

Ta
Chris
