i want to say check dallas out first and compare it.
Texax usually have CRAZY bandwidth for dirt cheap. Last I heard everyone's running fibre there even at home @ 50MBPS for $60/month !!!! <---- crazy, mY CABLE is only 2MBPS and it cost me $60/month too.
So you figure all ISP and servers there are running at fast connections.
Ok, how much loot we talking about here for a new server? I have about $100 for now and maybe another $2 - $300 down the road. But, my thing is I do not like paypal so for me it will be best to send a money order to one of you. E-mail me the info to baneone@mn.rr.com so we can get this goin girlz!
