26 !4. Hoiho & hosting.
27
4 CraigBox 28 CraigMckenna has asked us to seek alternative hosting because Hoiho is using too much bandwidth.

6 CraigBox 30 Options that have been investigated so far:
3 CraigBox 31
32 * FX Networks - $100/mo
6 CraigBox 33 * CRCnet - very likely, needs small rackmountable server
34 * BSD's office (consumer Jetstream)
35
36 Our preference is for a free/sponsored arrangement for both a machine and hosting. A 1U machine is preferable for "hiding in other peoples' hosting" and being considerate on rack space.
3 CraigBox 37
6 CraigBox 38 Options for fixing:
3 CraigBox 39
40 * New server/new hosting
41 * Current server/new hosting
6 CraigBox 42 * International virtual hosting (rimuhosting.com)
3 CraigBox 43
6 CraigBox 44 Options for getting a machine, in rough order of preference:
3 CraigBox 45
4 CraigBox 46 * Approach someone who sells them ([IBM]/[HP]/[Dell] etc)
47 * Approach a big name Linux vendor (RedHat/[Novell])
3 CraigBox 48 * Approach someone with an interest in the community
6 CraigBox 49 * Four companies putting up $500 each (Infometrics owe us some favours!)
3 CraigBox 50 * Free virtual hosting
51 * Second hand machine out of subscriptions
52 * Paid virtual hosting
53 * New machine out of subscriptions
54
7 CraigBox 55 ''Action:'' Write letters asking for sponsorship options in order of preference. Find out how long CraigM will continue hosting, look at moving it immediately to BSD if required.
