Hi,

We do offer high end shared servers that will let you run Gossamer Mail under mod_perl (something you won't find on any other virtual host). Drop me an email if you would like more details.

Cheers,

Alex

But you are priced out of the market. Virtual (shared) hosting for $75 per month plus set up? Dedicated starting at $350 per +set up.

Are those fees Canadian dollars?

A dedicated server can be had for as little as $49 per month with no set up in the US.

Hi,

No, those fees are in US dollars. Our virtual servers are limited to 15 accounts per machine, and come with the ability to run mod_perl, something few other virtual hosts can provide. A lot of cheap virtual accounts have 1,000+ accounts on the same machine, and while they may be fine for running static sites, you won't get the system resources required to run a webmail system.

As for dedicated servers, they are fully managed servers. This includes 24x7 hardware, operating system and services monitoring (should apache every stop resoponding, it is automatically restarted and a tech notified). It includes security updates (most cheap dedicated servers will install a copy of redhat linux and leave you to it -- your server will have numerous vulnerabilities and is just waiting to be hacked). We update the software regularly, as well as apply 0 day security fixes for important bugs. Our servers also include a wealth of other features such as: virus filtering on all mail, user custom spam filtering on all mail, 7 day incremental backups that can be restored from the admin interface, and much more.

Also, our o/s and server environment is optimized to run our applications the best way possible. Finally, if you host with us and use our products it provides a single source of support. No more arguing between ISP and software vendor on where the fault of a problem lies. You just end up with a stable, fast, and managed server, allowing you to focus on building your site.
