Re: [Lynx-dev] ot: slightly web host ideas?

[Travis Siegel]

Multiple solutions.
First possible solution is to change the ssh port the daemon uses on 
dreamhost.  I used to run my ssh daemon on port 443 when I worked for a 
company in Delaware who blocked outgoing port 22 requests, but since https 
uses port 443, they kind of had to let that port through, and that allowed 
me to connect to my home machines without raising any red flags.
Second option is to do what I suggested the first time, setup a virtual 
private server (vps), and host your own site, lots of companies offer this 
capability, and it's more secure than a shared host like dreamhost, 
because you own the entire instance on the server, not just the little 
corner the host gives you.  I use linode.com for this purpose, but you can 
choose any provider you like.  Once the VPS is up and running, you can't 
tell the difference between it and any other supposedly real host machine 
on the internet, which means, your company will have complete control over 
their hosting, email, and whatever else they have on the server.  Not to 
mention, it's trivially easy to maintain linux servers these days, what 
with all the automation the package tools provide now.
