When you are working in front of your computer for most of the day, where you sit becomes a big part of your life.  Web hosting people suffer a lot from this, because no matter if you are a remote tech working from home, or a system administrator in front of a server, you need to stay comfortable.  Now, most people might have the normal rolling office chair – however, others are getting a little more creative about where and how they sit.

For the Unique Sitting Situation

The art of using an exercise ball was introduced to my by watching Leo Laporte’s TWIT broadcasts and podcasts.  It seems like it might be a good way to stay active while still sitting down.  I have even seen some that come with a built in chair base so you can mix the benefits of the ball with the functionality of your normal office chair.

For Your Laid Back Web Hosting Techs

I have a Sumo Sac, which I picked up from SumoLounge.com that could easily be used to do a little remote web hosting work from the comfort of your own home.  The only problem about trying to use it in front of a computer desk, is it might be a little hard to get up and away from the computer.

For the EXTREME System Administrator

For the extreme system admin, I have one more goodie.  The Tank Chair looks like your office chair with tank wheels,  Found at TankChair.com, it is a custom off-road wheelchair that can go anywhere outdoors.  Not sure how well it would do at your computer desk – but if anybody wants to give it a shot – sent me some pictures of you in action.

Where do you rest your backside when you are doing your web hosting work? Let me know if you go the normal rolling chair route, or if you have an innovative solution for sitting.
