Re: [ubuntu-uk] The Open Hosting project
I agree... I think there are plenty of places you can get free hosting if you really want it... space and the like tends to be limited, but most people don't need huge amounts of space and if they do the cost is peanuts... the days when you payed megabucks for hosting are long gone...

I was actually thinking something along similar lines, i have gone as far as getting a dedicated server hosted in the us.
