Re: [OT] host my Domain

[Darren Honeyball <mlist@xxxxxxxx>]

I also host domains - was doing this at home over adsl for a couple of
years
(servers in garage with ups, firewall etc).

I've not got a good deal on leasing a server and included bandwidth via
loud-n-clear.net

They're very good and fast, and cheap too (Its costing me about the same as
my
old 1mb dsl used to).
