&gt; about our outages before they did.  I also could not even get in touch
&gt; until 9am EST M-F.  If you are a hobbyist then this is decent hosting if
&gt; this is a company site then get some great hosting.
&gt;
&gt; Make sure you can call someone 24hrs and that your hosting provider has
&gt; access to the hardware they are putting your site on.  If not *STAY
&gt; AWAY*.  IMHO, $99.00 is the going rate for good hosting that is not
&gt; Virtual and has 24x7 support.
&gt;
&gt; ServerBeach?  RackSpace?  Or Maybe E-Deltacomm.  I'm sure there are
&gt; others in the Atlanta Metro area.

&gt; &gt; I agree with Alan on this.  We've used a number of 'discount' VPS type
&gt; &gt; solutions in the past, and our experience has been that you get can get
&gt; &gt; either 1) cheap hosting, or 2) good hosting.  We've not been able to
&gt; &gt; find both.  One of the least expensive *good* options that we've found
&gt; &gt; has been Server Beach, but the cost is substantially higher than the $16
&gt; &gt; per mo that Bob mentioned earlier.

&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt; Both Speedfactory and 1and1 provide such services, you might check
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt; them out.  Speedfactory might be a better solution since they are
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt; local (if you are, you never know anymore on this list. :) )
&gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; Yes, but neither of them even come close to making the ridiculous
claims
&gt; &gt; &gt; for storage space or bandwidth that Bob selected from Canaca.com.
&gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; There are many decent web hosting providers, including those local in
&gt; &gt; &gt; Atlanta, that offer more reasonable plans at fair prices.  But if
Bob's
&gt; &gt; &gt; client really needs that much storage space or bandwidth and expects
&gt; &gt; &gt; reliability, then I think the monthly cost will rise considerably for
&gt; &gt; &gt; service from a reputable provider.
