Help EnWorld Find Cheeper Hosting!

One thing that you guys shouldn't forget, though, is how great Cyberstreet are. They have always been very patient while waiting for payments, responsive to questions and generally friendly and supportive. That, in itself, is worth a lot.

AMEN Brother!

The XServe is $75.00 a month, according to the specs. Is this the basic 60 gig model, or the fully tricked out 480 gig?

(Once a 160 gig internal hard drive is on the market the XServe will be able to store about 640 GBs. With a 200 GB HD it'll go up to 800.

Yes, Cyberstreet has been pretty good about everything. However, they are an ISP, not a host. As things stand it looks like ENWorld has simply outgrown Cyberstreet. All things considered, I must wonder how much strain this site puts on their resources.

What ENWorld needs is a dedicated co-location service. At a good rate of course. So I've included the URL for the Google page on web host directories. The very first one listed specifically mentions co-location hosts. In any case...

Hosting Directories

As I said, Cyberstreet has been good about everything, and I heartily recommend them for folks in their area. But, when a site becomes too big for a location it must needs move to a larger space. Finding a company that can handle a site like this comfortably does not mean you think any less of your old company.

Besides which, think of what Cyberstreet could do with the resources this would free up.

My thoughts and my thoughts alone.
