Re: [cobalt-users] What would you do

I would definitely not host on a dsl line.

If you are going  to do it anyway you need to get the following commitments
from the provider.

1. Static Ip Addresses
2. Uptime Commitment (how fast will it take them to fix if it goes down)
3. Don't use NAT
4. A small block of IP's
5. Bandwidth Guarantees

These are just a few of the things you need.

   If you can afford a raq4 buy it the raq 2's are discontinued
by cobalt.
