Well, here's my take.  I have a strong aversion to IIS (if you've seen my
previous post), as I've worked with IIS (at a former employer) side by side
with Apache on FreeBSD / Linux, and IIS proved mostly a security liability
and a humungous PITA.

Coincidentally, this former employer I mentioned, I left them on less than
good terms, due to personal and professional political reasons, as opposed
to technical or financial.  One of the worst professional falling-out I've
had.  So bad, I refuse to allow myself to ask them for any job reference,
although I don't doubt their professional integrity to commend me for the
positive contributions I made.  But even with that history going on, I have
such a strong aversion to IIS that I'd consider contacting them about
hosting.

I doubt it'd be free, but you never know.  And if not, I'm sure it'd be
reasonable.  Anyone have any idea on how much bandwidth our little DynAPI
site uses (downloads could stay at SF)?  How much traffic, hits per day,
etc?  Any usage statistics at all?  If it's below 1GB/month traffic, and
only low to moderate traffic (hopefully not slashdotted), I'm fairly
confident that the company would be more receptive to at least talking about
a reduced rate.  I know their servers have MySQL, Apache, FreeBSD, and PHP
and Perl, and gcc, ssh, and FTP all running.  And I know the people are
great about security issues.  I used to help admin the stuff.  They also
handle DNS stuff, and email hosting or forwarding, if needed.  They're no
slouches or fatcat managers.  Just hackers like you and me, but with a solid
business plan.

Let me know if this would be a possibility, and if we had to pay a little
then how much could people spare?  Pass a can around, throw in a quarter, a
dollar, a fiver or ten each year, it'd add up.
