Server questions

Yes, like cd34 explained, I was talking about security in the sense of hardening your server to hackers and evil do'ers, without losing functionality or speed. If you do not know about how to run a server, I would highly suggest you signup for a managed plan, this will save you a lot of headaches and prolly a lot of downtime too. For starting a TGP you would not need a dedicated server unless you were also planning on submitting galleries off that server as well...or unless you can get yourself to the 50-100K visitors daily point rather quickly!

I don't feel like turning this into a sales pitch, so if you want to discuss your specific needs please hit me up on icq 118860760 or email sales@chilihost.com.

cheers,
Luke

Yeah you don't run porn sites on DSL
or on Winblows. That'd be like running a
taxi service with a skateboard.
Luke at chilihost posted,
he'll set up right.
If you really needed full control over your own
server you could get a server at EV1 with
1,000 times the bandwidth you'd get from DSL
for close to $100 / month.
However, if your plan was to use Windows and
DSL than that pretty well proves that you
absolutely positively have no business running
your own server and should get someone like
Luke to take care of that for you.
