<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi Phil<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">So, I was looking at the NOAM T2 servers spread across here and mapped it out; Please see below screenshot of this mapping. I see that in the North Central region, we are missing a centralized T2 server. The
closest I can reach from Minnesota is OH or IN. IN is typically slower or highly flooded. Columbus, OH server is the most available and closest.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Considering this, it made me think that perhaps hosting a server at my QTH Minnesota would provide the needed North Central region coverage.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I have my own data center I manage out of my home for many years. And, this would be a good addition of service<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">And hence my reach out to you. I am mostly Windows guy, but, have also hosted Linux servers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hi! Sorry for the delay. End of summer shenannigans.<br>
<br>
So, what has sparked your interest in running a server? It used to be a big deal, back when bandwidth was scarce and software was less than reliable. Now, we are really only adding servers that are located in Tier 2-4 data centers, as the bulk of our servers
now are. Let me know what you have! We are always open to suggestions, and have converted Tier2 over to a more open-source type of operation in the last year.<br>
