    Any opinion on this? https://www.hostmonster.com/cgi-bin/signup they seem to have high ratings.
    People that buy OEM systems think Linux was a Charlie Brown character, a registry is something you see at target to buy shower gifts, RAM is a Dodge truck and a hard drive is DC at rush hour.

    This is helpful. I am looking at high traffic but not a high data rate. I will end up with a forum (not tech related), a blog, some paid and free add space as well as manufacturers spots.
