Public Server Based Computing ready for the prime time?

It is great to be back on line. Decided to try a public Server Based Computing solution to replace my standard desktop. Lost my dot com address redirection. With more than 2 dozen emails back and forth, two open tickets and assigned a technician (that never contacted me) over a 5 week period with no solution, decided to move the registration and host to another company. I now have scars from the experience. My enthusiasm for public SBC is not daunted but tempered with the very real difficulties of providing a strong and solid solution to the global public SBC space.

The trial was very good except for the inability to redirect this Blogger site to SBCList.com. The great disappointment was the realization that the support staff for the product never became proactive. Not once did they initiate a follow up to determine if the solution they provided was successful. Moving the registration and hosting to another company reduces the value of their Server Based Computing package to something that i can get for free elsewhere.

Think i will research the potential Public SBC providers. Have listed several of them in the side bar but will add more to this blog over the next several posts. There are perils and pitfalls a plenty for Public SBC. But one day, one provider will hit on all the required points and set the baseline. I suspect it is sooner than later.

Every pilot knows the minimum equipment list for the plane and the proposed flight before taking off in flight. What are the minimum requirements for a Public SBC product?

Until the next post,
