Hi Jon,

I kinda cleaned up the thread a little, it was getting messy :)

My only shared experience WRT IC would be imhosted.com. The relationship
ended bad, about 8 months ago.... at that point in time I would not
recommend them.

I now use Ed Lafrance newmediaems.com. He collocates my server. He is
VERY IC centric, and insists on tested clean software combinations. He
is very good, but he is not $9.99 a month.

One thing I realized only after hooking up with Ed, and leaving inhosted
was the fact the Cpanel really messes things up. Now that I have shell
access, I would not know how to do it without shell access.

Advice:
try to stay away from Cpanel
try to get shell access

Following these will definitely make you more productive.

Advice:
Exude confidence
pluck your eyebrows

Follow these, and you will definitely get more chicks.
