Thanks Jason, I knew the time would come but was hoping to hold off another server purchase. Can't be avoided though. And it wouldn't hurt for searches. I just wish I hadn't signed a 2 year contract with my host. Now that they "have me", they know they can charge me up the wazoo for additional hardware. They're trying to slap a 40% overcharge on me (40% more than they charged me for identical hardware 6 months ago). Never sign a 2 year deal in this business
