Generally, you need a T1 line and a decent machine.

It's much cheaper then getting your own T1 line or something. Then you need a server. As I said, you can co-locate with a company, which means you provide the server, and they provide the bandwidth, or you could just get a dedicate server with a company, which means they provide both the server and bandwidth. Either way, I'd recommend the following specs on a computer used to host your site(s)...</p> <p>- At least 500MHz P2/P3<br /> - At least 128MB Ram<br /> - Any HD size you need<br /> - Anything else, etc...</p> <p>That would be good for a few good trafficed sites...</p> Sat, 21 Oct 2000 13:24:30 +0000 Justin S comment 1073126 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
