I just pay the > ISP for a static.) i've got 5 static IP's and several / many virtual domains. that's one reason i've hesitated. i'd guess maybe 3-6 megs of stuff. mostly text. www.thought.org is home; another directory hosts jottings.thought.org; another is transfinite.thougght.org; and philosophy.thought.org. i want to add a bbs or forum like phpbb3, IIRC. If i find some reasonable hosting place, how will be be able to mess with that. last time, i remember getting that going pretty tough. i'd like to have forums available on at least two of my virtual or subdomain websites. having it HERE, no problem ... hm. there was recent discussion about mysql and openoffice and all that stuff. i was having trouble with mysql . that's a whole nother thread. > > Daniel T.
