This is sort of short notice, but I'll check on it again about lunch time Eastern time, but are there any other concerns, suggestions, wishes for hosting options?
I'm meeting with my ISP on Tuesday (in about 14 hours) to work out some hosting plans that would meet the needs of Links SQL users based on the needs of the Links SQL program and the problems expressed here over the past 8 months.
I need to again stress my goal is performance and reliability, not price. But, the more people interested (ie: who sign up to host) the pricing gets better, as do the features. I'll have more information tomorrow evening, but the main point of this meeting is to work out plans and strategies to meet the needs that I have had (and have seen expressed here) not to negotiate pricing.
As a guess the major price breaks start with 4-5 dedicated servers, and/or with 12-15 shared server options. What those breaks are, I don't know yet. But, CPU, bandwidth and uptime as well as e-commerce options are the prime concerns.
As I've expressed, CPU is limited by hardware, bandwidth is fairly unlimited at this time, and uptime has been well over 99% for the past year (my personal experience, not promises). I had a total of between 9 and 13 hours of inaccessibility for all reasons during the past year. Can't beat that! The more people interested, the better the hardware per-user, so the more CPU per user that would be available at any price. Makes sense :)
Anyway, tomorrow is the day. Anyone interested voice it here, or via e-mail. Thanks!
