My company has a need to do some dedicated hosting for a client application. Googling provides many adverts, but how is one to make sense of all the competing offers. For whatever reason my boss seems to think we should do some kind of linux hosting. I disagree because I'm old and tired and don't want to struggle with rpms or debs or whatever. I need recommendations for good reliable freeBSD hosting. The brief calls for two geographically separated machines. Probably we require modern python cgi, but perhaps not root access. -- Robin Becker
