It looks like Nerdfest will be shutting down operations very soon, after a good 8 years of consistent free community hosting, because our upstream provider is going away. Yes we started in 2000! Btw, if you can provide free colo for Nerdfest (low bandwidth requirements), or can take over some of our users’ accounts, please contact me.
This is a tip for Nerdfest account holders who are unable to locate alternative hosting. Google has a free apps service which lets you host your webpages, email (including IMAP), chat, etc. for your domain. I see at least one user who has already switched partly to it. The hosting isn’t as good as rolling your own.. you host static content, and you can have a blog too. But this is better than nothing, and Google is bound to be around for a long time. Think about it.
pending on the req’s i can host a few.. i’d be willing to pop in 4 sites @ 200mb each, 4gb bandwidth a month. just drop me an email.
p.s. read your feed on planet.gnome.org/
I have some space and BW - perhaps a small VPS (CentOS 5) if you need - what are people needing? I have some space and am looking to give back to the community - I just started hosting for a client and myself after being frustrated with shared hosting and slow servers - now have my own and loving it!! Open Source Rocks!!
