I run a small (secured) site at http://test.loafman.com.  Its for
serving SVN to a small project group and for testing as needed.  Every
once in a long while someone tries to crack it, but so far Apache has
held its own.

On the other topic, I'm not sure what the ISP is for Verizon in Plano.
Never been there and don't use them for mail or anything, just internet
connection.  As far as I know, I do not even have an email account with
them at all.

Comcast (AT&T?) is in the area as well and is supposed to be rolling out
100Mb connections RSN.  The area is rich with connectivity for the most
part, but get out of the high density areas and all bets are off.
