Advertising Information

SunHELP always has been, and always will be, a not-for-profit venture. However, I (Bill) occasionally trade ad space for hardware, software, or books.

Site History

SunHELP site grew out of an extensive collection of Sun and Solaris-related bookmarks I kept while working for Texas.Net (now known as Data Foundry). I started receiving so many questions and inquiries about Sun-related items that I registered a domain name and turned the Sun Q&A section of my web page into a stand-alone site (then SUNHELP.COM) in mid-1997. For ten years now, SunHELP has provided news, information, mailing lists, and hosting for other Sun-related projects.

Equipment:
SunHELP uses Sun servers from Sun Microsystems.
In the past, we’ve run on servers provided by Meridian Leasing, AnySystem, and Acclinet.
Power conditioning and battery backup is provided by Power Protection Partners.
Remote management hardware is from Logical Solutions.
System and service monitoring from up.time software.
Colocation facilities and bandwidth is courtesy of OnRamp Access, Inc. in Austin, Texas.
