Who runs the best hosting companies these days?

[Robin]

I have a project which may turn out to be the 'big one'. To make it work I think it would be necessary to work with a hosting company with plenty of bandwidth and experience with large ram PCs (16gb plus) and terrabyte raid drives with backups plus multiple master and slave servers running MySQL.

I'm looking to discuss with hosting companies a joint venture whereby the one I work with will provide bandwidth and PCs etc while I'll provide the new 'program' and programming and marketing thereof.

The last person I partnered with (Rick - Intertain) made a few millions off me. But he took a risk initially - anyone want to take a risk with me 10 years on?

Hi Robin,

Please drop me an email at sales AT nationalnet DOT com. We have numerous customers running high bandwidth sites with replicated and clustered Mysql, and we have at least 200 servers that we have set up with more than 2TB worth of disk space, plus we can also do disk clustering. We specialize in complicated solutions.

I think you and I may have talked way back in the day :-)

Bill

Cheers!

Hope you can find a deal that works for both parties folks.

my 2 cents is you can't go wrong with either host.

as you know robin I am very happy with oprano at nat nat but I will say that caro net hosts 3 of the biggest adult sites on the web.

glad to see your persistant and still after it. keep us posted.
