Any comment welcome. Here is the cost for a dedicated line from one ISP. Information obtained at rmci.net "Business Frame x2 is a dedicated dialup with up to 56Kbps connections to the Internet for your whole network. This package can support from 1 to 20 users depending on usage patterns and is the ideal connection type for the small office environment. Equipment Requirements Router -- Microrouter -- 900I --$995.00 Modem -- US Robotics x2 Modem -- $199.00 Cost RMC Internet Services Installation -- $250.00 RMC Internet Services Recurring -- $149.95 Local Loop -- The only US West circuit for this account is a regular US West business phone line dedicated for the Internet connection." There is a one time charge of $100 to register a domain name. This is good for two years and there after a $50 annual renewal fee. You can also get a regular internet account from RMC which includes five megabytes of storage space for hosting a web page on their server for $19.95 per month or 10 megabytes of storage space on their server for hosting a web page for $24.95 per month. By regular account I mean an unlimited web surfing account. Assuming I have a typical size web page,, say 2-5mb?? Also how would you increase the performance of my "server" ,, faster processor,, more RAM?? There is no reason to increase the performance of your server. With a web page size of five megabyte and 64 megabytes of memory you can easily keep all of your web page information permanently stored in memory. With all of the information permanently stored in memory your server will for all practical purposes instantly fulfill any request for information. This is instantaneous compared to the speed you can download data to your ISP. Hence the next obvious choice to improve the performance is to get a faster internet connection. For example ISDN, DSL, Frame Relay or T1. Are you sure you are a college student?
