For ListFilter.com, I had some specific needs that ruled out most hosts. I needed to run a background process 24/7, and I didn't want spam filtering imposed on my mail. I ended up using Host-Web-Site.com, and I'm happy so far (after 2 months). I think it's $28 per 3 months. > Is the Euphoria web site hosted by the same company? If > not, is this something you can also share? RapidEuphoria.com is hosted on addr.com. I pay $10 / month. I've been there for 3 years and I'm happy with their reliability. I tried hosting ListFilter.com there as well, but quickly discovered that they use SpamAssassin, which kills some spam (maybe 20% of it), but also kills about 5% of the legitimate mailing list mail from Yahoo groups and MSN groups. With Topica it's not a problem. addr.com refused to exempt me from SpamAssassin so I moved ListFilter.com to Host-Web-Site, which also has SpamAssassin but lets each user turn it on or off. In general, I think most individuals and small businesses will be happy with a $10 per month host. I'd be suspicious of hosts asking for $20 to $50 per month. Make sure you signup with one that has a 30-day money back guarantee. That way you can make sure they have all the facilities that you need. The nice thing is, once you've registered a domain name, it's very easy to change hosts. Regards, Rob Craig Rapid Deployment Software http://www.RapidEuphoria.com
