Willie,
I really hope it works out... As expected would be even better ;-)

A donation of hosting and suitable bandwidth to handle the FGCom server
has been agreed and we will be working on this tonight. This is a medium
term deal until a permanent solution and the financial resources to
cover it are available. That's a debate for later but it needs folk to
start thinking about it now. We will be sucking it to see how it works
out for bandwidth. If it becomes too heavy and impacts on normal
business operations then we will need to look into putting a cap on
users and/or tower freqs. I am assuming (always dangerous) that we have
never had>50 FGCom users at any one time on<10 freqs. The proposed
solution should be able to handle several times those numbers but until
we get it up and running and do some stress testing we will not know for
certain.
We will get the DNS records transferred so everything should Just Work
as before. Stand by for announcements of testing and hopefully service
restoration over the next couple of days. I would be really grateful if
we could get some folks who are willing to help us test this as we
fumble our way towards an optimal set-up.
Basically we'd like you to log on and keep talking when we announce
testing and not be too disappointed when the service suddenly dies for
any reason. No music please, if there is any music or similar abuse then
the deal will be terminated without notice. We need stress testing but
please leave music out. So please keep monitoring this list, the FGCom
topic on the multiplayer section of the forum and #flightgear on
irc.flightgear.org for announcements of testers required. Thanks :-)

Virtualization is moving to the mainstream and overtaking non-virtualized
environment for deploying applications. Does it make network security
easier or more difficult to achieve? Read this whitepaper to separate the
two and get a better understanding.
