<p>Jeb: /* Ikea, Houston */</p> <hr /> <div>[[Category:Resources]]<br /> ===Auction Partner, Tux MacAuley===<br /> <br /> Furniture Partner:<br /> 10615 Metric<br /> <br /> Jason:<br /> 971.0117<br /> ===Ikea, Houston===<br /> <br /> The Galant and Effektiv line has been great for us. The trick is to download the Ikea space planning software http://www.ikea.com/ms/en_US/rooms_ideas/office/download1.html, then layout your office, generate an order, and call the Houston store and ask for &quot;Workplace Ikea,&quot; get their fax number, then fax them your order. Not everything is available, so they'll call you back and go through altneratives. You can get your order delivered via a bimonthly truck they send to Austin for about $250 for shipping. This is MUCH better than going through the Ikea website which ships from an warehouse in New Jersey and takes 6-8 weeks to deliver and is more expensive (not to mention a bunch of stuff came damaged when we ordered that way).

<p>Jeb: </p> <hr /> <div>Best site for simple hosting (php/mysql/mail/smtp server/ multiple domains):<br /> http://www.modwest.com<br /> <br /> these guys are not too expensive, have GREAT support; what is really <br /> cool about them is that they allow multiple domains to be aliased into <br /> their accounts. Right now, on one of my accounts, I have 5 domains... <br /> It cost $1 per month to add a domain alias- all I had to do was add a <br /> .htaccess rule to the site, and I had a new domain. This is cool.<br /> <br /> If you want to have more control, and have your own box, here in Austin, <br /> strong suggestion for:<br /> http://www.midasnetworks.com<br /> <br /> They charge a low fee for a 1U rack server, and then have a very modest <br /> varible cost for the amount of traffic that your box moves across their <br /> network. What is cool about this is you can have your own box, and do <br /> whatever you want (versus just having one login) for a really, really <br /> cheap price. I would not host videos off of this service, but if all <br /> you are doing is apps that are creating html (not big files) and you <br /> have your own box (server or 1U server) this is a great option.<br /> <br /> In fact, with the ability to buy a box through Dell on credit (it is <br /> pretty easy to get up to a $5,000 credit line through their small <br /> business group, you could really do some interesting things with this <br /> type of service- and end up buying the box... (there are other cheap <br /> full box solutions... but given that these guys are local, and they have <br /> been very helpful, I really like what they have done for my business.)<br /> <br /> The places that I would stay away from:<br /> <br /> http://www.cedant.com<br /> Not bad guys, just not as quick as modwest about support; lots of times <br /> their smtp servers get black listed due to use by spammers (which they <br /> do not allow... but happens anyway)<br /> <br /> <br /> http://www.addr.com<br /> Their evil. OK... just kidding. If you are looking at them, stop.... <br /> not reliable enough to depend on. They were great when they started <br /> (years ago) but too much of a pain to deal with... so I stopped.<br /> <br /> http://www.rackspace.com<br /> They are expensive but worth it. This is sort of run-you-own-server with training wheels. You get the root password, but they can help you out of most jams. They answer the phone with a live human anytime of the day or night, weekends, holidays whatever, and you can speak to a Level 3 sys admin. If you're serious about running an Internet business, you'll eventually either want to hire you own sys admin and tie him/her to a desk, or go with Rackspace.</div>
