looking for: ssh hosting

[Tyler Littlefield]

I think ultrahosts's big deal was they were running on ShaneD.net servers 
for a while.
That's where I origenally learned the basics of system admin, and ended up 
spending half my time repairing broken things, outages were a weekly 
happening.

Thanks,

My programs don't have bugs, they're called randomly added features.
