Dani, I know. He isn't going to buy a server and host it on location. He's going to buy a server from a dedicated place. If he does, the dedicated place will have stuff that monitors it for you.

The dedicated server that you buy will keep the stats for each client (they have software for that).

Ron - I didn't say that LightPath was owned by OptOnline! In fact, I said that OptOnline and LightPath were owned by Cablevision, which is owned by CSC Holdings, Inc.
