We need to get rid of emu. It costs us a significant amount of money and we 
don't seem able to cost-effecitvely administer it.

Basically what we need:
- PHP scripts. The website is built with PHP.
- Database-backed PHP for MANTIS. I don't think we should get rid of MANTIS.
- SSL. We need to serve checksums and signatures through SSL, although big 
files will generally be served through HTTP. It would be nice to serve the 
installer through SSL if we have a huge traffic limit, since code signing certs 
are expensive, on the other hand if we get cheaper hosting we can probably 
afford to buy a code signing cert with a fraction of the money saved...
- IMAP accounts ideally, but at least aliases.

What we do NOT need:
- Auto-build. This is difficult to secure, and not really compatible with a 
secure git-based workflow.

Anything I've missed?

One option:

http://www.uk2.net/web-hosting/

Includes SSL, IMAP, 1TB traffic per month (bandwidth is very expensive with 
bytemark, even if we qualified for the 50% discount for the main distributor of 
free software), domain hosting, and a (very basic) uptime SLA, for ?13.95 to 
?19.95/mo depending on how long we buy it for (2 years down to 1 month).

Thoughts?
