FYI: evolt is hosted on a $69/month dedicated server (at
www.theplanet.com). Of course that price buys you an extremely low-end
machine but we do have it all to ourselves.
We even recently took advantage of a sale they were running
[https://www.theplanet.com/servers/outlet.aspx] and "traded down" to a
$53/month server with similar specs.
Both machines were 1.7ghz Celerons with an 80Gig drive, a gig of ram and
more terabytes of bandwidth per month than we'll probably ever need
:-) and The Planet's network performance has always been very reliable.
Hope this helps!
