Hi Robin,

Please drop me an email at sales AT nationalnet DOT com. We have numerous customers running high bandwidth sites with replicated and clustered Mysql, and we have at least 200 servers that we have set up with more than 2TB worth of disk space, plus we can also do disk clustering. We specialize in complicated solutions.

I think you and I may have talked way back in the day :-)

Bill

Cheers!

- Robin.

my 2 cents is you can't go wrong with either host.

as you know robin I am very happy with oprano at nat nat but I will say that caro net hosts 3 of the biggest adult sites on the web.

glad to see your persistant and still after it. keep us posted.

Thanks Gonzo,

My work in the general internet has started showing fruit, most of my sites are at or past PR5 and getting some good links from important sites.

I sold the restaurant to concentrate on the Internet again and have been coding up to 18 hours a day for some months now. I've managed to get plain servers do dome neat tricks and reckon I can handle a distributed network using less servers than (for example) Google.

I think this project will take off and whether or not I partner with one of these hosting providers it's possible that they would be used anyway. It just seemed interesting to see whether a hosting company might consider branching out a little...

Hello Robin,

I just wanted to thank you again for the opportunity. While we couldn't make a fit, it was certainly good to explore the opportunites for both of us. Let me wish you great success with getting your endeavour going and receiving a tremendous ROI!
