This is primarily for web developers that have their own server
plugged into the internet using ISDN. Or anyone that wants to be able
to have their own server, running their own way, doing whatever they
want to do (excluding porn), without bandwidth restrictions! Now you
can and cheaply. Computer Dominations, Inc. now introduces Server
Co-Location. A cheap but yet nice, way to connect YOUR OWN SERVER into
the internet via T1 (T3 in May or sooner depending on response) to do
away with current bottlenecks of ISDN. Now lets do some math.
BellSouth will get at least $62.50 from you reguardless. An ISP sells
dedicated ISDN for around $375 give or take $50 bucks. And then
everything is up and running nicely. With the exception of the 128k
bottleneck. Wouldn't it be nice to have your server connected to a T1
instead and pay LESS!!!! Right now this is now a reallity. If you are
the first 8 people to sign up, you will get to connect into an
ethernet port connected directly to a network system that takes only 1
hop to get to a peering point. Which peering point, well any of them.
My network (I am using) is connected to each and every peering point
the internet has to offer all being ran on an ATM backbone. As TV
would say, but wait there's more..... You will also get a dialup
account to your server either direct connect or telnet access through
our system. If you already have an ISP to dialup to, you then can just
telnet into your box. You can't really go wrong with this. Especially
since we give a 100% guarntee that our network will not go down for
more than 5 minutes else you don't pay for that month. And for $75
more, (in a few months) we will give you 8 months free service if we
go down for 5 minutes. Big chance for us I know, but that is taken
care of. Well I guess now comes the part you have been waiting on. The
cost. If you want a server co-location (you supply the server) you pay
$450/month $50 setup fee. If you sign a 1 year contract, you get it
for $425/m plus a dedicated dialup 28.8/33.6 line to your server
directly $50.00 setup fee. And if you have money just laying around
and you want to pay 6 months in advance, than you pay $325/m plus you
get a dialup line no fee. Keep in mind, this is for the first 8 only.
I can't expand so fast that it kills the 1st T1 in a week. :) Since
the bell companies are moving faster than we expected, our web page
with all the details are not complete yet, but you can contact us for
any unanswered questions. Give us a call at 770-849-0544 or pager
800-771-2671 then hit #3. If you have any friends in the Jacksonville
FL area and would like to help run a pop like this, give them my
number as well. We are working on opening a pop there as well. Other
services are available for your server but at a higher price. Our goal
here is to give you something you have complete control over so I
don't have to work so hard. :) 

Also we sell full bandwidth T1's for $1,200/m + local loop and full
bandwidth T3's for as little as 30k/m + loop. If you have more than 6
locations, the prices will drop of course. :) Take care.

If you would like to be a reseller for us, here is the deal. For every
Server Co-location you do, you get $200 cash. For every T1 sale you do
at $1400, you get $200 cash per month for as long as they are a
customer. If you are interested in this, give us a call.
