OKay, here's my question as we look for ded servers.
I've found a rare host that wants the setup costs to involve actually purchasing the server. In other words, we would purchase the server, own it while they hook it to the net and keep it connected and do the bandwidth thing to it.
It is slightly less per month for this kind of setup than the usual server fees at rackspace, cihost, verio and such. I'd say a hundred less per month.
Is there any advantage to OWNING that piece of machine in the long run? (Server purchase/setup approx 1500.00)
Also, someone emailed me and suggested I hook a 3000.00 server up to an enhanced DSL line. (Are we talking comparing phone lines to a walky talky here?) Is this something that people do these days? And is 3000.00 usual for a 400 mhz server?
Can someone with experience fill me in with some helpful advice? Thanks!
