    Looking to move from Mr Site!

    i'd be wary of website building services like moonfruit and weebly they sound great at the start and get a small company online quickly but in the end they are a hinderance and limit expansion. however the op can move to any linux hosting service that supports php (any linux host) that will...

    Cloud Hosting

    That's what I was getting at. If done correctly a cloud vps would be much better than a normal vps. But a lot of it is marketing hype and rebranding a normal vps Joe

    Open Source Linux Firewall

    Ipcop Smoothwall (already mentioned) monowall pfsense (already mentioned) untangle (already mentioned) that's an open source os that will do what you want but you will find that to get it to do what you want you'll need a plugin and those cost! i think that's about it..... joe

    Cloud Hosting

    that's the problem with "cloud" people who don't really understand it jump in because a "Cloud server" must be better than a conventional vps right? i've seen vps's sold as cloud servers (no higher availability than an openvz vps from any other provider) but this was a "cloud" openvz vps and...

    Unlimited Space & Bandwidth - The Truth behind the Lie!

    That's the point where trying to make, unfortunately the people that fall for these unlimited claims are the ones that usually have loads of problems and would be better with a proper package with a host with reasonable limits. joe

    BYOD? Bring Your Own Device?

    No a VPN is a secure tunnel through a system (hardware device or server) into a network, once your on that network you can access network shares and services as if you where physically in the building and viruses and worm's can transfer the same way joe

    BYOD? Bring Your Own Device?

    there most certainly are risks with connecting to a client's network viruses, worms, trojans, an unhappy employee who find's your system are to name just a few. however if setup properly your system would be quite safe (that does depend on firewall settings etc) joe
