Setting Up Sudo in 10 Seconds

This is the first thing I do when logging into a dedicated or virtual dedicated server:

su -
visudo

User_Alias	FULLTIMERS = youruser
User_Alias	PARTTIMERS = anotheruser

Defaults:FULLTIMERS    !lecture

# full time sysadmins can run anything on any machine without a password
FULLTIMERS	ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL

# part time sysadmins may run anything but need a password
PARTTIMERS	ALL = ALL

  Can anyone suggest a reliable Dedicated Server hosting that is not very expensive?*,”

  Quite frankly the ones I have encountered so far just blow. Even the not-really-inexpensive ones. For my next endeavor I’m leaning towards amazon solutions (s3 etc.), though I have no experience with them yet.
