That would be great, thanks!

Here's my list again, with prices for each one. You can decide better than I which ones to look into:

DommelNetsolutions 22
Superior Hosting 35
HostGenie 48
1-877-Site.Com 52
Saturn Services 56
Zapgold.com 56
Century-Host 56
OChosting.com 57
1 Web Please 80
Digitalsea.net 110
DTS-NET 159
Jumpline 165
Hostview.com 167
Our Virtual Mall And Web Hosting 170
WebWrite Productions 171
Schogini Systems 178
Maikon 180
HiChina.com 199
Dreamhost Strictly Business 213
wantsomegetsome.net (!) 217
WestHost 223
Computer Solutions International 230
IIC Internet Services 239
Addr.com 266
Christian Site Hosting.com 273

Please, however, take into account, if you can, the quality of their support. I can call Verio, I can email Verio, Verio has a ton of help on their site:

http://vps.verio.com/support/virtual/freebsd.html

And they make installing a statistics program as easy as:

% vinstall webalizer
% rehash

> Some stats that I did not see on your page that would be helpful to know are total hits and bandwidth (megabytes/gigabytes a month) for the last 3 months.

Guess what? I have this new statistics program! :-) You can click on the month to get details:

http://www.dr-bob.org/stats

So far this month (ie, up until 25-Mar-2001 05:51 CST):

Total Hits: 1,528,225
Total KBytes: 20,770,392

It's probably bad luck, but since this has come up, I'm hoping Psycho-Babble will hit a million pages served this month. :-)
