[TriLUG] server up for 262 days

[Michael Mueller]

Hi,

I've renewed my subscription to the list.  I learn lots when I read
the posts to this group.

I wondering if I could tap the collective knowledge base on web
hosting options.  I need a low-cost reliable host for a business
brochure type site to describe my company and product, provide
helpful information, and link to industry related sites.  The pages
will most likely be static since that's all that I know how to
produce at this point.

Here are the options I found so far:

a) currently using domains.yahoo.com to redirect to personal web
space on mindspring;  looks cheesy, url is not
cloaked/masked/gripped; have 10 Mb which is about right so far.
Here's my place holder site so far.  I have a significant upgrade in
the works. www.signalnetware.com

b) URL redirectors with URL cloaking to the personal web space on
mindspring

c) shared host web hosting ($30-200 per year, anyone have stories
they can share about this class of service?)

d) manage my own server and DNS entries using DSL static IP (this
seems like a lot of work and that down time could be significant,
not to mention the significant up front costs)

Anyone care to comment?
Thanks,
Mike
