    Hey THP Upset? nah. I've just never seen someone use owning the datacenter as a decision making factor when choosing a host. I was really curious what benefit that provides from a service perspective and basically had typographical diarrhea while thinking it through. There are indeed TONS of...

    I should have just kept my mouth closed and seen how the thread developed. Would have had some good insight for me on how people search for hosting companies. If you look at the first few replies, it was strictly cost based. I'm really interested in what motivates people when they purchase...

    My point is, owning a datacenter does not = great service or uptime or pricing or performance. Your host, operates their own datacenter (but they don't technically OWN it) - how does this improve the level of service they provide you? While I think your host is a pretty good host - they do...

    Oh and I've toured well over 30 datacenters all over the world. Some people's datacenters are no more then a glorified closet. Linksys, Dlink, Netgear crap equipment on city power with a couple $100 ups's... Yet they technically own their own datacenter. My little company has spent close to...

    THP, I have to politely refute your first point. Owning your own datacenter is no requirement to provide great service. In fact, the majority of hosting companies will flat out lie to you about this anyway! Colocation (placing hardware you own in another companies datacenter) is an...

    Integrating anything into any control panel is, err... troublesome. I'd rather we didn't use em, but it is honestly great stuff for those users who aren't tech savvy. Pretty icons, works 99% of the stuff... gives the user more control and takes some load off our shoulders when it comes to...

    php 5.2.10? Ever had any issues with that? We found a lot of clients software didn't play nice with 5.2.10 when we upgraded, so we rolled back to 5.2.9. Plan to move forward in a few more weeks, giving stuff like wordpress and drupal a chance to catch up :)

    I'll be touring marietta in 6 weeks or so. Honestly though, facilities are just 1 piece of the puzzle - and even the BEST facilities have problems such as exploding power mains, ATS that go on the fritz, thefts, FBI confiscations and everything. I've seen it all in close to 12 years of...

    Heh, I run a hosting biz. But we charge more then $49/yr. Not sure if spamming my biz is kosher, but I have posted my url before.

    Texas Question

    I've never had chili without beans. I was even in Houston and ate chili and guess what? It had kidney beans in it! WTH. (It was a catered event at a conference, go figure). Now I kinda want to try it without beans! I put everything in my chili usually. Heck, we've seen spinach and corn even...

    9/11. I haven't forgotten.

    I was in Manhattan that summer. Just 2 months before the planes hit I walked on that ground... The morning it happened, I was sleeping when the first plane hit. I woke up hours earlier then expected with a weird sense of dread (honest truth) and saw my roommates huddled in the living room...

    preservation Are these peppers good for dehydrating?

    Hmm, I think I will turn the fresno's into a fresno salt mixture. The peperoncino I think will become my new chili flakes then. :)

    preservation Are these peppers good for dehydrating?

    I have an abundance of fresno's this year. 4 plants has given me more then I can eat. Same with my peperoncino's. Do these dry well? They seem to be thicker fleshed but I think they should be good? I'm already drying my habs and aji limon's (neat, the limon's stayed yellow!) but they are...

    flavor Chasing taste

    Honestly, jalapeno's & fresno's are my favorites for flavour. They just go great with so many foods. The thai chili works awesome in just about everything the first two don't play nice with. I really dig my peperoncino's they are MUCH hotter & sweeter then I expected. Huge, lovely surprise.
