Don't feel bad, the rest of us at Netmar give Will grief everytime he posts something to Slashdot with that name. He really isn't quite as lame as he sounds, close, but not quite.;)
We are currently multi homed. This means no downtime unless something catastrophic happens. I know in the past however we have credited ALL of our users for downtime and / or poor service quality.
Actually we have about 50 machines at the moment. That spec is just meant as an example of what our Shared hosting server looks like. Out of curiousity what do you need more ram for in a machine that runs apache? ( Our main database server has 1 gig in it, it is also an ultra-sparc )
We are a small company, I will admit that. Bandwidth is by far what we pay the most for on a month to month basis. However, we want your website to prosper, not feel hindered by our limitations of 5 gigs a month or whatever. If you buy a leased line t3 to your facilities you pay for that t3 whether you are using 1% or 100% of its capacity. Why should we charge you for that? It's our problem, and something you cannot control.
A lot of complains here is see are about our Terms of Service, read them, see what they say. It essentially says that we will not host anything that is pornographic, lewd, or illegal in Durham, NC. ( Where the company was Incorporated ) I can't think of anytime in the last two years we have taken down anyones site because of "objectionable" material. The biggest problem by far we have is people who post up pirated software ( Most recent I know of was OfficeXP ). We do not host porn sites, the owners of the company strickly forbit it.
If you have any questions of comments please let us know, our email is staff@netmar.com. If you want to address it to me I'm Ethan. ( Yes, the same one referred to in the FAQ )
I know there are several companies out there who will over you unlimited email accounts if you host your website with them ( or have a webhosting account ) Since you wouldn't really be using the webspace something as small as a 1 meg account would be more than sufficient. One such company that comes to mind out of hand is http://netmar.com . Maybe you should check them out.
Have you seen Warrenton?? Its very rural, plenty of space for a facility without having to worry about other buildings getting in the way. But it is enough of a town that people wouldnt feel bad about moving a family there or anything like that, plus the cost of living is much less than farther in towards DC. All in all its not a bad choice. ( i guess im just ranting because you assume that everyone who lives up there living in DC or its immediate suburbs )

I actually thought you meant class C's. But hey maybe someone changed the classes from B being a /16 to it being a /24 and I missed the memo...

Actually Will and I took the time to do this on our own free time. He was actually over at my apartment when most of these comments were written.

I can think of two Tier 1 providers (C&W and Sprint) who will deaggregate your /24 routes from their /19 if you ask nicely.
This is exactly the reason the Registry System Complain Clearinghouse was created http://rscch.com/
To get the crap they pull in front of the people who might be able to do something about it.

No, but it does have Xmms, great clone... as full featured as the original and even more stable.
