[tlug] moving - ISP recommendations anyone?



Hi Tlug,

My wife had a couple of babies so we gotta move to a bigger house. For
the last 6 years I've been hosting slackisland.org in my kitchen using
NTT ADSL on a single static IP from OCN. Anyway, as posted a long time
ago to the TLUG, OCN won't allow reverse DNS resolution of this IP to
resolve to slackisland.org, instead they resolve it to:
p14046-ipadfx01maru.tokyo.ocn.ne.jp.
which causes some outgoing mail to bounce. 

I'm thinking, since I'm moving anyway, why not get a new ISP, and
migrate from the prehistoric ADSL to hikari fiber. I'm paying a company
to host my NS records so I don't think it will be a problem if the IP
changes. Of course, it would probably be more cost effective to move the
server out of my kitchen and just rent some rackspace, but I like doing
everything myself, setting up the raid5 array, monitoring the
temperature and logs, knowing that I alone have the root password (AFAIK
lol!)...

Any suggestions? Anybody on the list got a server at home with a static
IP and a provider that will allow you to set the hostname accordingly? 

Thanks in advance for any advice.
Cheers,
Scott VanDusen
Tokyo, soon to be in Komae!
