Hey!
I am just a semi retired electrician collecting a disability check.
At present I am working on a way out of that also. I have this rather large need to tell SSD to keep their pocket change.
I have just as many years on the inside of a computer as I do on the outside.
Every computer in the house has been custom built by me with the exception of my laptop and a computer my son brought in.
At last count there are 6 currently in operation with 2 backups. Why you ask?
Yep you got it... this way the present 3 at my knees get left alone...
I am also the owner of 7 Domains in which 6 are hosted from my home server as well as 3 other sites. Unfortunately I am not collecting any form of profit from theses 3 yet because I am still in a testing phase what works what don't keep this toss that and flush the rest.
The only thing at this point keeping me from marketing hosting is a reliable mail server system that is compatible with my server.
From what I seeing so far it looks like I will be building yet one more computer to take on the job of a mail server considering all the virus and spam
security issues.
I have to wonder at times is this how GoGaddy got its start....
