I can say with some certainty that you wouldn't be paying an extra $1000 per month for that second web server.

When I go to datacolo.com I get a 'soon' page..

That's because they have no web site designed yet, but they are fully operational and reliable. DataColo is a new company, but the company behind it isn't.

Have you got ICQ Matt? Or MSN, Yahoo!, AIM for that matter? If so then give me a buzz, all my details are in my profile.

My ICQn is 20229164.

I should really start adding that to my profile. I don't like giving out my AIM name to the general public since it doesn't allow authorization like ICQ does.

I've been thinking about using Interbase instead of mySQL. But, I can't find one book, or any website (except for Borland) that even talks about Interbase. While mySQL has tons of resources out there.

So, I moving to mySQL from MS SQL. Which is strange, I know. Not my choice.. client does not want to us Windows anymore. Moving to Linux.
