Re: Looking for right ISP

Thanks for response.
Running a personal web server through  a dialup account has been approved
just fine. The performance is more acceptable than some highly-hit web
sites.
What do you mean by co-location? Many DSL providers won't allow users run
their servers also. Could you give the names of who does.

Thanks
Daniel
