Message 00001: Re: Use of web.resource.org
Hi Aaron -
It's a mutual admiration society. Becky and I were just talking
about you. Of course, we'd be more than happy to delegate web
to you! I can put the ip addresses in for you or delegate the
zone if you run a nameserver.
Do you want space on our system, or do you want to host yourself?
Be happy to host you, but we're ssh-access only and it's a somewhat
messy, overloaded system (running several dozen domains on a
dual-processor sparc and with users like us, you can imagine we're
somewhat non-standard. :))
Best regards!
Carl
