Hi&nbsp;Folks,
 
 Here's&nbsp;another&nbsp;recommendation&nbsp;solicitation.&nbsp;A&nbsp;friend&nbsp;of&nbsp;mine&nbsp;works&nbsp;from&nbsp;home&nbsp;and&nbsp;so&nbsp;do&nbsp;his&nbsp;employees.&nbsp;They&nbsp;want&nbsp;a&nbsp;VPN&nbsp;setup&nbsp;so&nbsp;they&nbsp;can&nbsp;have&nbsp;a&nbsp;secure&nbsp;central&nbsp;file&nbsp;store&nbsp;and&nbsp;possibly&nbsp;a&nbsp;secure&nbsp;IMAP&nbsp;mail&nbsp;store.&nbsp;Samba&nbsp;over&nbsp;VPN&nbsp;should&nbsp;be&nbsp;fun.
 I&nbsp;reckon&nbsp;that&nbsp;they&nbsp;need&nbsp;external&nbsp;hosting&nbsp;if&nbsp;they&nbsp;want&nbsp;some&nbsp;guarantee&nbsp;of&nbsp;reliability,&nbsp;there&nbsp;is&nbsp;no&nbsp;way&nbsp;I'll&nbsp;recommend&nbsp;that&nbsp;they&nbsp;use&nbsp;the&nbsp;bosses&nbsp;XP&nbsp;Home&nbsp;machine.
 OneAndOne&nbsp;(www.oneandone.co.uk)&nbsp;seem&nbsp;to&nbsp;have&nbsp;a&nbsp;good&nbsp;solution&nbsp;with&nbsp;their&nbsp;root&nbsp;servers&nbsp;at&nbsp;£29&nbsp;a&nbsp;month&nbsp;with&nbsp;£49&nbsp;a&nbsp;month&nbsp;access&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;backup&nbsp;servers,&nbsp;but&nbsp;their&nbsp;support&nbsp;appears&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;pants&nbsp;(have&nbsp;not&nbsp;emailed&nbsp;me&nbsp;back&nbsp;to&nbsp;answer&nbsp;my&nbsp;questions&nbsp;about&nbsp;the&nbsp;root&nbsp;servers).
 Anyone&nbsp;recommend&nbsp;a&nbsp;(preferably&nbsp;Scottish)&nbsp;hosting&nbsp;company&nbsp;that&nbsp;can&nbsp;help&nbsp;for&nbsp;a&nbsp;reasonable&nbsp;price?
 
 Cheers,
 
 Phil.
