[consulting] VPS? [was D7 side effects on the Development list]

[Mark Ferree]

You could always go with DynDns if you want to host your development sites
on your own machine and avoid that $15 charge from AT&T. I've been happy
with their free service for keeping a static address mapped to my dynamic IP
for external SSH access.
