Fair enough. I've edited my offer.

For a point of reference, FutureQuest sets their master connection limit to 255, which is shared by all users. On your worst day, you guys hit a little over 200 connections. That was a one-time spike. Normally, you were hovering around 100 before you turned off the RQG. As long as you keep it under 255, we won't have any issues.

Also, as I mentioned above, we are willing to try out tweaking server settings to see what happens. We can play around a little and see what works and what doesn't.

Basically, knowing my clients and what their needs are, I'm not concerned. Worse case scenario, your usage spikes, the server slows down, I reboot the server and the connection counter gets set back to zero.

I wonder how much a business DSL connection and a server sitting in a Buffista's home would cost...

I just know that I used to take care of a server in a company that had 100 people using it all day and All I really had to do for maintainence was make sure the backups were performed and reboot it or just SQL on occasion.

I just guess I'm frustrated by the fact we don't seem to need the big honking option so much as simply being able to reboot MySql on occasion until our team gets a chance to figure out why it should go wonky all of a sudden.

Maybe I've not been emotionally involved enough, and don't understand the database issue.

Nothing to see, move it along, never mind, I guess.

I might also have a site or three that could move to Fangeek.

Quick question: The $10/month econony plan would allow me three domains. If I have four domain names that I want to all point to the same place, does that count as four domains or one?

That would count as one domain to us. For example here, Buffistas.org and .com point to the same place and they count as one domain. Buffistas.net points to a different place and counts as a second domain.

I'd say it's worth looking into but my company, the one that pays me a salary, runs a server on a T1 and still it's slow as molasses. Also, there's no redundancy in that scenario so you should verify how reliable that connection will be.

Rockin'. I don't see a setup fee on your hostplans page. Is there one? Is there a setup charge to point a few domain names to an account?

No setup fees on new individual accounts. And there is no setup fee on pointing the domains.

I think I'm sold, though I wouldn't be able to switch for a month or two.

I don't know that that's necessarily a bad thing. It might be wise, if we proceed, to move this board first and do some tweaking before moving over a bunch of new accounts.

Good point.

I hope it's not rude of me to ask this, but why do you need a decision on b.org by Friday?

The deal that Steven and I made came with an expiration date. Therefore, I had to pass that deadline on to you guys.
