Totally Want to build this

I've seen these before, but never saw a comprehensive "How To" to make one. I really would LOVE to build this.

Web Hosting Picked...

For the past 11 years I have had my own physical server Co-Located with Kansas Hosting. They have been EXTREMELY helpful and have taken complete care of my server. Over the years they have fixed any issues (even ones that I caused myself) and have been a terrific provider.

I originally went with them because a friend of mine worked for them (Hi Brian!) and convinced the owner to co-locate at a reasonable rate (a 4U server). Several years later, I built and setup a new server (a 1U server) and sent it to them, and presto, my co-locate rate dropped even more.

With that in mind, I contacted them to get an idea of how much bandwidth my server uses in a given month. Unbeknown to me, they hooked my server up to an un-metered network connection (unlimited bandwidth). I was floored... customer service above and beyond to say the least.

So I explained that I was tired of upgrading my server every 5 years or so and was considering a new hosting solution. I told them what features I was looking for and what my price range was.

And you know what? They came back and said THEY had the solution for me and would provide it at the same price I've been paying for the last several years.

These guys are truly customer oriented and all around fantastic to work with. I would recommend them any day.
