Anyone else feel slightly apprehensive about the prospective ISP's own site disappearing off the internet for an unknown duration just as we're looking to sign on?
Not, y'know, that I have a better alternative to propose.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well, we were told that that page wasn't all the way live, I think, and also we got referred by someone who's been using them, right? I got an email back from sales and I can do it via phone or email. I think I'll give them a call, but how awesome would it be to have a conference call with ita to do it?

OK, here are the questions they ask:
Server Type (ds1, ds2, ds3):
Options
Raid 1: yes/no
Additional 512MB RAM: yes/no
Primary domain to attach to the server:
We want ds1 with additional RAM, right? But do we want Raid 1? Just checking.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's the price differential for RAID 1?

Looks like $249 to start, $10/month.

I lean against it, for that money -- we can add it on later if people disagree.

OK. So we do want 512MB ECC DDR Memory for $129, right?

Yes, please.

Our wings are not tired
Tech folks are cranking away, very cool. Are we cool on cash? I can throw some at this if it's needed.
