[NTLUG:Discuss] NTLUG needs a new colocation service for ntlug.org

[Rick Cook]

Everyone,

Thank you for the responses we have gotten so far. Since the overwhelming 
majority were requests for additional info, here is what I know about our 
server:


It is a mid-tower sized VA Linux VARstation.

The website generates an average of about 75 Mbytes/day.

We have 7 mailing lists (using mailman) that generate a total of about 250000 
outgoing messages per month ((maximum number of messages per month * number 
of recipients) for each list). Even at 10k / message, that is pretty 
insignificant.

We have 3 fairly active local user email addresses, still much less than the 
outgoing mailman message lists.

We have 5 local newsgroups handled by innd. There have been less than 300 
posts in the 10 months they have been active.


For about the last 3 years, Hex Net (and then after the merger Hypernet 
Communications) has been providing power, bandwidth, air conditioning and 
floor space for our server for the princely sum of $0.00.


Rick
