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).
