I am just wondering, if the hosting company was difficult to begin with - that they had suboptimal provisions to defend their network or recover it more quickly why is he sticking with them and sending them money? It is of course amazing and tremendously generous that he has kept it running all this time. I am just curious why he does not shop around? There are plenty of other hosting companies that won't crash out like this so easily and would also work nicely from a performance standpoint. This is what I'd set it up to use: http://www.internap.com/business-internet-connectivity-services/performance-ip/route-optimization-miro/ I would guess he has a DS3, not a cheap thing.. I have not looked at the rates anytime recently but I imagine it's still at least in the $4,500 /mo. range. That is probably overkill for a few subspace zones unless there is a lot more traffic (which would be nice.) I really hope that this is not the end of the road. If nothing ever happens and others are interested in saving it, this is something I can setup and I also may have access to some existing networks I created (with fun toys like http://www.brocade.com/products/all/switches/product-details/bigiron-rx-series/index.page which might be possible to use but not without a bit of partitioning as they are heavily secured. While I set them up, I do not own them so I would need to ask for favors.
