I should learn PHP and Perl anyway :) I'm still at the stage of thinking "this looks good", so nothing definete yet. But I am definetely tempted, especially given the current £/$ rate (about $1 to £2). And having a web server where I don't have to worry about ads or referer stuff would be nice. (btw, the comment box does some funky stuff under IE. I'm sure it's not meant to resize to larger than the window when I start typing (appears to size to the window width without moving left, so the right hand end and scrollbar is beyond the window edge). Probably MS deciding to ignore standards as usual) Ideally, ASP, but I realise that Microsoft don’t exactly distribute “IIS for Linux”. I should learn PHP and Perl anyway :)

Basic services that I've done in the past for people are email and web, and offering ssh/shell access. I'd probably also learn how to run FTP stuff for this case. Basically, since it's a full box, I'll work to provide anything that runs under Linux for you. If you want MySQL, Postgres, DNS, whatever, I'll work to make it happen. The bandwidth limits are huge (more than a terabyte a month) which I can't imagine ever coming near, so I'm not concerned about that. So, what would you be looking for? :) BoggyB: Anything you want, really. Basic services that I’ve done in the past for people are email and web, and offering ssh/shell access.
