Re: Hosting company tricks - IP GAMES FOR SUCKING BUCKS

Note to ebinc--the original subject line was very poor.  Better subject 
line, more responses.

If you're concerned about whether a hosting company is cheating you and 
not offering you a dedicated server, you're not buying the right service.  
Buy full command line access, full Linux administration--and check the 
boot messages.  In particular, look for the hardware bits from dmesg.  Be 
prepared to do everything, including making sure you get backups done.

uk2.net offer a reasonably good price for dedicated servers, and a friend 
says their service has been good for him.  They have a variety of support 
plans, make sure you sign up for the one you want.
