Re: site hosting

I am likewise disappointed with local options (primarily cost). If I
recall correctly, ACS hosting is $20 for the DNS and $10 for the static
IP per month. Though I am somewhat disappointed in the speed and
flexibility, I could not be happier than the $5.99 per month I pay
Netfirms. While I wouldn't recommend them for just the reasons I
mentioned, I am sure there are a good number of hosting companies
offering service for similar prices. I do what you had indicated - I use
dnydns pointing to my home server for any specialized CGI or PHP that I
cannot run on Netfirms' servers. Seamless and flexible enough for a
small company's first presence on the Web. Good luck.
