Re: Looking for right ISP

You mean run a web server off a modem dial-up account?  Not to sound rude,
but why would you do a thing like that?  Saying that it'd be slow would be
a gross understatement.  Dial-up accounts aren't meant for servers;
they're meant for Joe Generic to surf the web and download porn.

1) find one that does co-location
2) if you have cable or xDSL access in your area, ask about running a
   server through their service.  It'd be a hell of a lot faster.
