If I only had a brain...

I can't see Natter or Bitches. The other threads show up. Is anybody else having this problem?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Greetings from the nudger - have all the techies weighed in on which istrata option we want to take? Have we made contact with istrata and asked our "we might be a difficult community" questions? Or are we waiting on someting else before doing this?

cause hey, the sooner we get there and settled the sooner we bring that list-o-projects out. WOO.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

As far as I knew, there was only one Istrata option up for use -- did I miss something?

Basically, the timing on the archiving is more of a determining factor.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

There are a couple of different options. I think the primary difference is the speed of the processor on the server.

Oh. I only skipped past all but the $99 IGHz one -- and skimming back I don't see the other. Is it faster?


Kristen - Nov 08, 2003 6:10:21 pm PST #6017 of 10000

Yes. The next option up was $129 a month and had a 2.4 Ghz P4 processor.

What processor are we on now, Kristen, and what was the speed of the one you proposed?


Kristen - Nov 08, 2003 6:18:37 pm PST #6019 of 10000

Right now you're on a dual xeon with 2 GB of RAM. I want to say 2.4 GHz? The server I had proposed was 2.53 GHz P4 with 1 GB of RAM.

ETA: I just checked. 2.4.

My instinct, then, if it's all our own, we won't need the bigger processor.

Questions proposed:

  • upgrade costs
  • mail? I see no mention of mail services in the package.

I do think that you should go for the memory upgrade, which is $129 upfront. Obviously on a dedicated you should be able to add all the email accounts you want. I don't know what, if anything, they have for webmail and/or mailing lists.
