Re: Home or managed hosting ?
I'd vote for having someone else host it. Even with my NTL 10Mbps
package, I only get 384kbps upload speed, so downloading stuff from my
server is really slow. For my website I use www.xcalibre.co.uk. Not
the cheapest out there, but they've been 100% reliable and their
customer support very efficient during the two years I've been with them.
