I have a few sites in my network that require some “programming” and batch processes to run behind the scenes.  Having a dedicated server and having root priviliges is great for this type of thing.  I’ve now been on a dedicated server for over 2 years and have loved it.  No looking back!  Is it overkill?  Maybe.  But it gives me full control and forces me to learn some things about the “ins and outs” of hosting and servers.  So, what do you use?

My next question is do you design your sites yourself?  Or do you contract/hire the design work out?  I am terrible and Web Designing.  Just horrible.  I much prefer to find a free template or to find a great Web Designing firm to do my work.  I’m just not creative and these guys are.  How about you?

That’s it for today!
