----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Dear Floyd, I think you might find this article very helpful in your decision making: "11 steps in choosing the right ISP for your Web site " Netscape World, August 1997 http://www.netscapeworld.com/netscapeworld/nw-08-1997/nw-08-bestpract.html I have also been looking into ISP providers for Internet access and Web hosting. From my investigations UUNET stands out as one of the best ISP's around - but it is very, very expensive. The company we have just hired to install and maintain our network, highly recommended that we use their New York based ISP provider, dti (212-255-1339). This company is also engaged in web development and they have clients who have chosen to use a variety of ISP's -- but they are very happy with dti as their personal ISP. Hope this helps, Trisha Lucy
