[NMLUG] Slackware as a server || hosting/bandwidth services Albuquerque
I will suggest renting a dedicated server (from $50/month) from any
company with some years in the market,
clarinet, 1and1, and many others are ok,
you don't want to take backup, power redundancy, parts replacement,
bandwith, and so on,
