We ran our own hosting for years, and back in the day, made a nice little profit hosting for others. At one time, we were the largest bandwidth users in Montreal, even larger than the ISPs with thier dial-up only
But with the reduction in bandwidth pricing, it wasn't really worth hosting anymore. We finally shut down all our own servers and moved over to Brad at Mojohost. That move saved me a lot of headache, overhead, and the salaries of my two Network Guys.
It was the right decision years ago, but I prefer what we do now for these times.
