Looking for a new internet server - anybody know anything

[Kali]

about Nationwide? or have any other recommendations?

(I am in rural Arizona if that matters - has to be dial-up, unless it's REALLY cheap satellite, heh heh)

1. I always try to find a local provider, especially if you are on dial-up.

that usually means that some real live person is actually around to help if you should have problems. good luck.

5. I agree - mine was local originally. They have been bought and sold

a bunch of times and now they are saying I can't use the same domain name for my e-mail. That company above (nationwide) has a program for keeping the email and they are actually less than I am paying now - but they seem to be located in Texas - wonder if they are "red"?

2. Check into this one:

http://www.indylink.org/

I used to use their local service here in Western NC. This is a non-profit progressive organization based in Asheville, NC. I haven't used their national service, but I can certainly vouch for them as good people to do business with.

11. 1and1 has the best deal on dedicated servers

if you want shared then try Hostgattor. Althou problematic they are pretty cheap

12. Um, I am sorry, but I am a computermoran - I don't know what those

terms mean? (but I will check with google)
