How about <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.brownrice.com">www.brownrice.com</a>? They are located in Taos NM since 1998
and have been doing a great job at hosting and programming.<br>

<div>Why would an entity that is about putting New Mexico FIRST
(as implied by its name), make use of NON New Mexico resources
and vendors.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For example, its website is hosted OUT OF STATE, in what
appears to be New York. Reminds me of those salsa ad's. ;)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Are we saying that NM infrastructure is so subpar that there
isn't a single hosting company IN NEW MEXICO that could reliably
host such a site ?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope not, because I know of at least several service
providers that could and do, do a great job.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>How about LOBO.NET. </div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Locally
owned, supplies both metro and rural parts of our state with
connectivity, AND THEY HOST things like the International
Balloon Fiesta. I heard they <span class="Apple-tab-span"
style="white-space:pre"> </span>get millions of hits a day
during Fiesta week. Seems like they could do it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>How about SWCP (Southwest Cyber Port)</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Locally
owned, built out their own hosting data room with generator,
hvac, security, and decent connectivity. They've been hosting
sites large and small for <span class="Apple-tab-span"
style="white-space:pre"> </span>over a decade. Seems like
they could do it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>How about any number of folks located within the BigByte or
OSO Grande data centers ??? Also, locally owned and operated.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The point here is that if we are going to spend money and
time (which is also a form of money) to improve our state, er
Make it FIRST, then we need to start at the ground level and
make it FIRST to use the resources IN OUR STATE, well before we
go out of state.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You can't improve the State without keeping the dollars here.
Making it worthwhile for people to build and develop a business
plan HERE.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just wondering…….</div>
