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

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:

  • 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.

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.

I logged into the demo control panel and it's showing SMTP/POP3/IMAP. You might want to take a look around in there.

Okay, I'm evidently missing stuff. Where'd that link come from?

Do you see the little question mark icons next to some of the features? If you click on them, they take you to other pages with more information.

D'oh. I started clicking on them, but they were boring. They saved the fun for next to last.

It's going to be a fun ride.

I'm assuming there's a separate account management control panel but I'm not sure. I didn't see any other links.
