You will never get your hands on what you outsourced. If you want control, host it yourself. By my personal experience, my sites were down one-two hours in a year connected to Comcast business Internet (5 IPs and very good support). $75 for 5MB pipe. I bet you cannot get it better from an ISP. Physical security and power? You can solve that as well. $500 power backup generator is much less than ISP wants for the same protection level.
There's a lot to be said about physical security in post 9/11 america with legislation such as the PATRIOT act, secret warrants, and warrantless searches. I have such as distaste for for the abuses that I moved my stuff to my house to make sure I could keep my email server in my control (STARTTLS is a great thing at times). There's no need to throw a net so large that you catch nearly 100% law abiding citizens. Jeff

I have called several web hosting companies, but any of them offer the alert service (email or sms) when the website does not load (due to hardware, software or attacks). How SMBs that have e-commerce websites that have to be up and running all the time deal with monitoring thsoe websites? Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.
