ok, maybe here in Germany the ISPs for customer DSL and so are not "typical", but from every ISP I know here, who delivers customer access as his core business, has one or more datacenters with "some" servers inside. minimum a servercount with 4 digits. But every of them provides hosting features too, I do not know any ISP, who didnt have any type of hosting. But I will be proud if you could provide me some examples, where my assumption is totally incorrect (means a provider with only a handful own servers).


kind regards
Robert

That's an extremely poor assumption. If your core business is delivering
DSL, T1, T3, SONET, Metro Ethernet or whatnot and no hosting (or you
outsourced your mail/hosting to someone like AT&T does to Yahoo) you
aren't going to be dealing with hard drives in that volume. Is that not
an ISP?

One such ISP here in the US would be American Fiber Systems. They
provide dark fiber, SONET, Ethernet, and managed wavelengths to several
cities across the country, but no web/email hosting.

Because the topic was said to be invalid unless you were an ISP, and if
you were an ISP you wouldn't use the tool. I disagreed.
