I spoke with EasyStreet. I found their sales associate knowledgeable and
easy to work with. I had mentioned earlier that I required multiple
stand-alone servers. EasyStreet told me that this wasn't a problem.
That's great; the several virtual hosters I've spoken with struck me as
kind of like the "Model T" of the ISP world, "you can have any distro
you want so long as it's Red Hat."
Further--and may the geeks forgive me--I'm not interested in mantaining
the hardware. When there's a problem, I need the hot-swap automatically
failover while the on-site staff work with the hardware. This is much
better, of course, than saying to the client, "oh, I'm driving to the
ISP now. It'll be online, (meekly) I promise."
That's a conversation you _do_not_ want to have. EasyStreet has a plan
available for just this arrangement.
Thanks for the tip!
