Hi,

Does anyone know of a good/cheap co-location facility in the Omaha area?  I've seen the topic a few times on the mailing list but was wondering if the situation in Omaha has changed.  The one good co-lo I knew of in town has disappeard.

I'm currently thinking about the possibility of finding someone who can get DSL (I can't in my house 50th&Center area) and hosting the server at their place or trying out Microlnk's http://www.microlnk.com/ wireless service.  Speaking of which does anybody on the mailing list use Microlnk?

As for the parameters for how much bandwidth I would need.  I really don't know yet.  I'm hoping the site/project might be semi-popular but it could also go into limbo pretty easily.

I'm also thinking about just using a hosting service that provides databases but I would like/need to run some custom code on the site which a lot of hosting services won't allow.

Any thoughts/ideas/comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Aaron
