Re: $35.00 a month MV hosting service, RE: Inexpensive ISP

******    message to minivend-users from John Beima <jbeima@palb.com>     ******

I have Minivend up and running for some of my clients on my server and I
am more than willing to host other peoples catalogs for $35 Canadian a
month. That should be about $18 US a month. I just want a 6 or 12 month
contract.

There is some work involved in getting it going properly for each persons
needs. Everyone needs something slightly different.

I am also running MSQL, MySQL, and PostGreSQL, so database integration can
also be done.
