I was very surprised with the price as well. The best package I could find in the US was with a company called Server Beach (a Peer1 company). And in Germany I found Hetzner. Check out these specs and prices: Server Beach Specs: 1 x QuadCore 1 x 250gb drive 2 gb RAM 10mbps port (2T capped) For: $99/mo ($0 setup) Hetzner Specs: 1 x Intel Core i7 920 (Quad Core + HT) 2 x 750gb drive (software raid 1) 8 gb RAM 100mbps port (2T capped, 10mbps after the first 2T) For: $65/mo ($200 setup) -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
