As you may know, I have had problems with my host. It’s seems like they are on their way down and about to close. Well, that’s what the rumors say on the net. I have used this hosting company for 2-3 years now and have been very satisfied with them as you got “alot for a little ($$$)”.

Now I’m in the middle of moving all my domains to GratisDNS.dk as I have heard alot good about them. Then I have control of my domains in one place and can easier switch hosting, if needed. At the moment I will just host my sites here from home, which is actually pretty nice as I have 100 % control over the server.

At the moment I’m running my server on an old computer which I had anyway. In the long run I of cause would need a better solution. A computer which use little power and don’t make any noise.

I have looked at the Asus EEE Box (in black of cause) see the video below:

Asus EEE Box

So as you can see this is a pretty sweet little box and the most positive, it’s cheap, low noise and use very little power.

I haven’t completely decided yet if I wanna go for a box like this, so if you have any experience in the use of a box like this, please let me know as I would very much like to hear your comments on it, both positive and negative. For instance is the powerfull enough to run Windows Server 2003 or maybe 2008?

As you may have noticed, my hole web site were down for some days in the last week. It were due to some problems at my host, but it should now be fixed.

UPDATE: I can see that it is still a little unstabile.
