Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
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.
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.

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?
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?
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:
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.
I can't see where they say they provide SMTP/POP3/IMAP. I assume they do, but I'd like to be sure.
Also, mailing lists and webmail, as you mention.
And I agree with the memory.
