Re: Web Hosting Options

I'm on ACS.

I've got 960/320 or something to that extent.

I have my gallery pages (and little else) hosted on the dsl, and while
it's poker than say, 768, it's certainly doable.

With GCI, you need to make sure you don't exceed any bandwidth limits.

>>GCI cable's fastest upload for residential use is 384Kbps. Has anyone used this for web hosting? Is it fast enough? I have allot of photos on my website so I need something snappy. Do they allow it? I noticed for businesses they offer a 512/512Kbps option at a decent price but they require business local and long distance which I don't need. Any advice?
