Per Scott-
On the recommendation of Evan, and my roommate Matt, I took a look at 1and1 for web hosting. Turns out they've got really decent rates on *dedicated* servers... so I went and signed up.
We now have a 2GHz Celeron based PC w/ 256MB RAM and a 40GB hard drive being setup with the latest install of RedHat Linux. It's our own system, totally unshared w/ any other sites, and I have ROOT access! We also have 500GB/mo of bandwidth, which is about 100 times more than we're currently using.
This means we can run just about any software we want, put an ass load of pics up, and even give members their own shell accounts/homepages/email addresses/etc, also, people that have space limitations or uptime issues on their current hosts would be willing to move their site over to the SECCS server. (Dean, Art, Tyson...)
I plan on setting up a few virtual hosts for friends to earn back a little of the server cost, and perhaps we can do a quarterly "SECCS Bandwidth BBQ Fundraiser" or some other excuse to eat burgers, talk Subarus, and pass around a jar
All questions can be brought up in this thread, or addressed to Scott (sperry) via PM.
Thanks Everyone.
