Server prices may be dropping, but the purchase price is just a small part of the total cost of ownership (TCO).
Server budgets expand rapidly once you factor in the cost of maintenance, as well as cabling, cards, rack space, adapters, switches, operating systems and other software licensing costs. Additionally, each new deployed server decreases server room cooling efficiency, which runs the electricity bill up another notch.
Economies of scale, which generally dictate that costs drop as the purchase quantity of a particular product increases, do not work in the server world.
And all of that is what is making virtual dedicated servers so attractive.
You are probably becoming familiar with the concept of a virtual server. Many organizations are beginning to deploy products like VMware Infrastructure to create multiple virtual servers inside of one physical server. But the concept of a hosted virtual dedicated server is relatively new.
Essentially, you are renting resources on a remotely-hosted server. However, unlike the typical shared-server environment, such as a web server, you’re not sharing any of the server’s operating system with other users.
Virtual dedicated servers, for all intents and purposes, function exactly as if your applications were running on a dedicated box. The server hosting company deploys a VMware Infrastructure, partitioning physical servers into multiple virtual machines. Each machine functions exactly as if it were a single server. It has its own instances of the operating system, application software, virtual processors, virtual memory, networking, storage devices and even its own virtual BIOS.
In fact, the only real difference between using a virtual dedicated server and your own dedicated server, is a reduction in TOC that is difficult to realize using other solutions.
The cost savings begin not having to make capital expenditures to acquire the server. Costs are spread out monthly and are not carried on the organization’s balance sheet. That fact may not impress the I.T. folks, but it will get the CFO’s attention.
But the real cost-savings come into play when you start looking at what else you don’t have to buy. Most popular operating system software is included, so there goes the licensing fees. Most common server application software, such as Exchange Server, can also be included, which further reduces costs.
So for short money, you can deploy a hefty server, configured to your exact specifications, with a minimum amount of ramp-up time.
Ongoing benefits include the fact that the server hosting company takes care of maintenance and support, so replacement part costs disappear was well.
There’s really no downside, and you can look good to all those people with “C’s” in their title. Find out more about virtual hosted dedicated server technology at InfinityVirtual.com.

Geckos for one have pads on their feet making them more able to climb on different surfaces like glass for example. the anole has claws, they can climb on many surfaces, say brick, but don't have the advantages of the sticky pads. Anoles also don't stay green they can turn brown to adapt to their surroundings unlike the gecko. The life span I'm not sure of, when I kept anoles as a child they never lasted longer than 6 months to a year, but maybe they just don't do well in captivity. they both run wild here in florida, but I've never tracked one to see how long it lived. I do think geckos live longer.

This is my favorite gecko website! They reach maturity at 7-10 months or so. Check out this care sheet and see if your husbandry (how he is being cared for) is all correct.
Well, it depends. Most geckos, like Leo's and Fat tail's, are "adult" when they are sexually mature. Females are sexually mature at age 6-10 months. Males are born mature, but they become adult when they are around a year or little less…
Whoa – twice a day would be too much.
Make sure you're dusting them with gecko vitamin powder and gut loading them first. Then put about five in the tank and if he eats all of them, put a few more in. If you put too many in, they'll just annoy the gecko and will also die faster than they will in their own house w/ food and water.
Every other day or every third day should be fine. We know when our leo is getting hungry when she hangs out below the hole we drop the crickets in.
If you over feed, you'll know, b/c he won't go after the crickets.
that is sad you want to kill it.
leave the windows cracked a little and he will crawl out.
don't kill it… it will eat lots of bugs and that is good
Sounds like a perfect match for a crested gecko. Remember to do loads of research before purchasing any reptile! Heres a few links.

I heat mine using a UTH (mini by zoo-med $20.00 at petco).
Shouldn't have any trouble housing them together. You actually have to set the conditions just right for them to mate. They're not like mammals that get busy at the first sign of life in a potential mate.
Just make sure you don't house two males together. They will fight and end up hurting or killing one another.
none, zero , zip, nada, dont do it !
