So if your seriously interested in making simple hard cash this is the website for you. Auto Traffic Avalanche

Like I said. It’s an unconfirmed rumor. I doubt Suddenlink would acknowledge it if they were.

Suddenlink says it isn’t engaged in any discussions about its broadband service in Humboldt County with any business.

Great update!

Broadband sharecroppers are well advised to keep an eye on who owns the real estate!

The rumor about Charter could provide the answer to your question about Redwood Tel feasibility. . .

If Charter acquires Suddenlink, the value of system interconnection between Del Norte/North and Eureka/South could generate cash flow improving prospects for investments to build new fiber links from Eureka to Crescent City.

With ARRA investments potentially landing soon – after federal and State investments are made, the counties’ (and other local jurisdictions’) best allies just might be the Tribes!

I forgot to mention, prior to going cloud I used HostGator which did offer everything I talked about except for RAM/CPU scaling. HostGator also cost more per month than multiple cloud subscriptions, making the choice easier.

One aspect to keep in mind with cloud hosting is how much control you have over the “box.”

Some cloud hosts offer root access where you can essentially run it as if it was your own server. Some require you to use an API to run your virtual services. In a good setup, you can put as many clients on as you want and load whatever tools you need. For PHP, this comes in very handy as you can edit php.ini files individually for each client as you would on your own server. This also aids in making efficient backups where you can load software to do incremental backups and run cron jobs to backup mysql databases regularly. (And upload to another cloud service)

Like on-site email servers, on-site web servers are quickly becoming relics. It used to be that so-called “shared” hosting was crippled and expensive, but now the pendulum is swinging the other way.

I don’t have a favorite service. I use a combination of Amazon AWS/RDS, Mosso, Joyent, and GoGrid. All are fine for web data and are relatively simple to migrate between. My paranoia is also helped by backing up data to several services at once. I haven’t used Azure for storage because I feel uneasy supporting Microsoft given their track record… and because they chose to use poker slang (“All In”) as their cloud computing motto. I don’t think making a gambling analogy was the best P.R. choice for promoting a service where savvy customers already have difficulty trusting Microsoft servers to protect their data. They might as well have said Microsoft Cloud Services: double down with us, we’ll cover the spread with your critical business data.
