[Dxspider-support] DXSpider at a hosting provider?

[Brendan Minish]

EI7MRE runs on a virtual server in London 

but in the past I have run it on a Virtual server in the US (slicehost
as I recall).

basically with XEN or KVM based virtual server you have full root access
to a linux box running the distribution of your choice 

Start-up scripts etc work as expected and it's been reliable.
Cost-wise it's on par with paying for the electricity to run an older
machine at home to provide a DXCluster


I am using tagadab in the UK 
http://www.tagadab.com/
I use their VS250 package to run ei7mre and host a few other small
services, they have been pretty reliable and on the rare occasions when
there have been issues they have always responded to me quickly with
honest answers
