A Word about ULTRAurge
This site, plus all the images on my blog, is being hosted by ULTRAsurge.com. They have very cheap rates available for sites like this one, that have low-bandwidth needs.
I did a little research and found that the level of bandwidth I've purchased for myself, with UltraSurge's cheapest plan, would even be enough to accomodate some of the B-to-B sites I manage at work. So if you have a small, personal site like this one, or even a small business site, why buy a car when a bicycle will get you where you want to go?
The only thing to be aware of is (as I read it), their cheap programs are introductory offers only. If I find I need more bandwidth, I'll have to jump to their $10/month plan; I can't switch to the $3 plan. So keep that in mind.
So if you are interested, visit ULTRAsurge.com and check it out. If you follow one of these two links, they'll know I sent you, and thank me appropriately.
Oh... and how's the service? No problems so far. The site's never been down that I've been aware of. It's got all the features that I require (email boxes, web traffic reports, ability to host perl scripts, ftp access) plus a bunch that I don't. So I'm happy with my choice, which is why I'm recommending it.
