we have a dedicated cable line, i don't think there is anyone sharing it with us. i do know that the @home business package is totally separate from the regular @home line that people normally get into their homes. if we wanted to host 100 2page sites with a maximum of 5 images per site, strictly informational(no database requirements), how much bandwidth would we be able to get away with? would a dedicated business cable line suffice? >From: John Aldrich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: RE: getting started with web hosting >Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2000 20:35:35 -0400 > >On Tue, 26 Sep 2000, Chris Watt wrote: > > At 03:10 PM 9/26/00 -0700, Balazs Wellisch wrote: > > >Don't even attempt to do web hosting on a cable modem.
