Sure does, with just one minor remaining issue... to upgrade from unmanaged to managed is a painless procedure correct? Just upgrade in service level mainly... thanks!

Ok I lied, I have another question. Say one starts with a dedicated, unmanaged server. Then they decided they want to upgrade to a managed server. That would be a fairly simple and straightforward procedure correct? I would assume so because it's more or less an upgrade in "service level", and the same hardware can be used (again, I assume). Let me know if I hit the bullseye, or if I didn't even hit the wall. Thanks guys!

I have just a few questions about the dedicated servers. Specifically, what are the major differences between managed and unmanaged (other than the "obvious"). What are the benefits of managed over unmanaged. Secondly, with dedicated servers, is the owner (or renter more accurately) given shell access? What about Windows systems, what kind of access does one get? I think that's about it for now. Thanks guys!

Thanks everyone for your support. Don't have too much fun without me!

while (Sorry, I was reminded of my basic days...)

Hey everyone, just to let you know, today is the last day you'll hear from me for approx. 2 weeks. I'll be doing my annual training with the Army National Guard in good ole Fort Bliss, TX. That's an oxymoron, as there is no bliss in being there. At any rate, I'll announce my return. Feel free to contact me via email if you need anything, and I'll reply in 2 weeks! Enjoy the month of June.

To be honest, I don't recall how I got here. I'd imagine it was through a Google search for "cheap hosting". Anyways, I'm here to stay!

Welcome to the forums, and I agree with the comments already said. The only way to protect something is to not put it on the 'net. Casual users will quickly lose interest if they get frustrated, and tech-saavy users will immediately know what to do to get around these methods.
