Thanks, but don't we have enough expertise and resources on this list to
do better?
With a round robin DNS record and multiple hosting sites the worst that
could happen would be a partial outage if one site went down.
If it is going to be on a single machine (especially an obvious spare),
is there any reason why there shouldn't be 3 or 4 people with access to
kick it if something goes wrong?
I think four people do (including Stuart, if he doesn't/doesn't anymore we can
fix that). Julian has been the primary admin of the box, so I pinged him
rather than dig out my credentials).
The biggest problem we have is that Wayne is not active in the project and
apparently very busy. There's lots we could do to make this work better if
those of us who are the most active had access to the domain.

If you need low bandwidth and high reliability, I highly recommend a VPS
(Virtual Private Server) for $20 per month at a well-established hosting
service. I'm using rimuhosting.com, and have had excellent service,
including help with problems in common software like Apache and
Sendmail. Their data centers have 24/7 maintenance, and multiple
high-bandwidth connections to backbone networks all over the world. In
3 years I've seen only one brief outage, and the machine was restored in
less than an hour, before I even noticed it was down.
If cost is a problem, I'll be glad to share a machine I have in Dallas.
Stuart already has root access. I would also trust Scott not to mess
anything up.
