Ärende: Re: DNS registration and hosting question
=================================================
From: "RobertB." <rb28@nyu.edu>

Hmm. Still not sure I need any of this. I would build the Web site myself (or
with a friend) and can upload it via FTP, which is what I have done in the
past. If it's a UNIX server, I can set file permissions on directories myself
(I've done it before) as long as I have access to
'em. So a lot of this stuff may be superfluous for my needs. I would
prefer a host company that runs UNIX servers, however.
