ExoticA:Hosting

From ExoticA

ExoticA is hosted with Mythic-Beasts who are kindly sponsoring the bandwidth needed for the site. They offer an excellent Mac Mini dedicated hosting service which is ideal for a low cost hosting solution. The Mac mini is very small, so you can fit 8 in 3U of rackspace, but also they don't require a great deal of power. For more details please visit the Mythic-Beasts Mac Mini page.

Mythic-Beasts now also offer Apple TV Dedicated Hosting. For the average hosting operation, this might be even more suitable than a Mac Mini - And the small size means you can get a dedicated server at a very reasonable price.

Mirrors
