yea - when i heard about vps first i was jumping at it because of the flexibility but the reality of having responsibility for security, patches, housekeeping and god knows how many other little bits and pieces doesnt grap me at all. I have done a fair bit of IT work ( nothing really to do with webservers though ) and my experience is that it can be a bit of a distraction to what i really want to do which is design and develop ...
anyway i didn't know that blacknight would manage the server so i will check that out - thanks for your help
