So far I have a short list of essential items: Name Server (primary and secondary) Mail Server Machine to Host Files (File Server) Now, I know I can host some of these items on the same machine, like mail and file server. However, I am not clear on whether or not I should host the name servers on the same machine as well. I'm intending to start out small and cheap until I begin receiving some revenue, at which point I can upgrade and invest more into the servers. Now, does anyone have good tips on this topic? Am I missing anything on my list? - Jonathan --- What goes up, must come down. Ask any system administrator.
