Many ISP's offer virtualized servers - the hardware would be shared with other virtual domains. I don't know what all services you need, but web and e-mail certainly can work in the virtualized environment. Check it out - see if it is for you - I know that SkyPoint used to offer this when I worked for them (www.skypoint.net). -- John Lind john@starfire.MN.ORG
