RE: Looking for right ISP



If all you want to do is run a web server, you might consider http://www.addr.com.  I stumbled into them the other day.  They offer domain and web hosting for under $10.  They support almost any web feature imaginable in a high end account for under $15, including databases.  Unless you need a dedicated line for another reason, I would recommend something like this and using your regular account as a dialup as it will save you $$$. 
 
BTW, they will relay unlimited mail from *@yourdomain.com to whatever local server you want to setup.  This is nice.  They claim they are doing relaying which means they should hold the mail to be forwarded to your local server at whatever static IP.  Or you should be able to forward mail from yourname@yourdomain.com to yourname@yourisp.com.  Either way, this puts the burden of 24x7 on them.
 
Having said this, I love having a dedicated ISDN line with local servers.  I have complete control with no limitations on webspace or email accounts.
 
I know this was off topic, but it may be a desirable solutions ...

Subject: Looking for right ISP

Hi, everyone.
Eventually, I made my web server and my own domain (www.mydomain.com) running, but my ISP, mindspring  told me that I am not allowed to run a web server through a dialup account and they can't do anything for me if I want to run my own server. Then I have to  look for a new ISP who provides such service and not expensively. Any ideas and recommendations?
thanks
