Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG No doubt they have to earn a living, and I will not object that hosting is worth that much, but it's not hostig what I look for. I am hosting the domain myself, they would only supply connectivity (what I'm already paying for except static IP address ), secondary DNS and mail backup. Actually, I think virtual hosting with my ISP is even cheaper than what I quoted. Heartfelt thanks for your input Manuel Garcia El 07-Dec-98 a la(s) 04:22:05 Mark S.
