fedora hosting question

[Lonnie Cumberland]

Hi Alex,

I looked at the 2 host provider solutions that you provided at:

http://www.web-cp.net/
-
http://www.molesoftware.com/www/index.php?i18n=de&pid=1&title=Produkte&sub=4


Do you have a preference as to which you think is better?  They both 
look to be very good and offer many features.

Thanks again,
Lonnie
