Blackdog1,

After an excruciating wait in today's internet speed terms, I was able to login to Luxbet.

Must be the International zone settings.

As soon as I have this whole AWS thing sussed, I will let you know and only be too happy to help!!

I noticed that they are using a higher system spec than i use, i have 615mb memory the min now is 1gig with a better processor, think my cost is 0.009 per hour for a windows server.

I found this cost calculator, might be of some help.

thanks Shaun but quite honestly cost is the least of my concern, it's less than peanuts compared to what I can make with punting if I can get on. lux is the only one now where I can put in a sizable fixed bet most of the time. I genuinely envy ppl who have unlimited access to bookies despite winning fortunes, "allegedly".
I only mentioned the initial charge because I couldn't see what it was for?

My problem is that I found the site and the setup excruciatingly complex and daunting. Surely there has to be an easier way to set it up? Like why don't they offer a paid service to set it up for clients and hand it over? A you said, once it's going it's like windows?
