NYCPHP Meetup

[Edward Potter]

Go with the no-brainers, devote no more then 10 seconds to think about
hosting, it's not 1999.

pair.com, dreamhost, for 99% of your needs they probably can do it
all.  Yes, in 1999 we paid $25,000 per MONTH for hosting, today a rock
bottom account on dreamhost is probably 100X better.

Once you make your fist 100G, and you actually have health and dental
insurance for everyone - THEN think about managing your own servers,
but not before.  Don't waste any time on hosting issues, work on your
SITE (IMHO)

:-)

PS,  in 2008 I am no longer a "Consultant", I'm now an "Adviser"   :-)
