    Okay. I'm half way thru putting together the "upgrade" server for my web-design+hosting company. The scary part is yet to come, as I've gotta make sure that the switchover between the two machines is as smooth as possible and goes into the scheduled server maintainance timetable of about 3 hours :eek:

    But anyway. It occoured to me that the old server was called "TKSRV".... not a very original name, and the TK is now irrelevant.

    Now, give me a name to call my server. It'll be sprayed onto the sign in a funky "go-faster stripes" style. So nothing too long.

    The person who comes up with the best name and I choose it... gets a cookie ;)

    Kronos! Now theres a name for ya!

    Um yes. FishBowl would be a great name... if it were for my personal website. But this server we'll be putting our clients websites on, so it needs to be sorta impressive... yet slightly geeky ;)

    Thanks for the input! :)

    I like that Aquarium idea... if you were to get multiple servers, set them up on sub-domains so that each individual computer would be named after a specific fish :D

    clownfish.aquarium.com
    goldfish.aquarium.com
    angelfish.aquarium.com... etc.
