For the past year I've been a very happy customer of OpenSourceHost, and greatly appreciated their reliable hosting, installation of Drupal, and fast, efficient customer service.
In the past couple of weeks, though, that's all changed.
I have tested out http://nearlyfreespeech.net and I am very satisfied. They just speak my language instead of marketingspeech:
Keep in mind that while we aren't lawyers, neither are we idiots. We can tell the difference between people harassing our members via the DMCA and cases where our service is genuinely being misused, and we can adjust our attitude accordingly.
We are a real business designed to last, not a venture capital/IPO/bankruptcy Ponzi scheme.
I'm seriously considering starting a new podcast. It looks like LibSyn (libsyn.com) is the best hosting service for podcast media, since they give you X-much storage each month. (e.g. the 100MB plan gives 100MB this month, 200MB next month, etc. They move everything outside of the current 100MB to a slower "archive" server.)
I'd really like to use Drupal for the podcast and not the default blogging system that they offer. I don't have anything against what they offer, but I know Drupal pretty well.
Would someone be willing to set up a Drupal site with hosting companies as nodes, and a bunch of CCK fields for a list of criteria/answers we all decide are important specifically for Drupal? The nwe could have a bunch of clever views for sorting the lists. I'm saying 'someone' because I know enough to throw around some general terms, but not to put it together.
I am looking to host a video site using FFMPEG. For this I was looking at "Terms of Use" for www.citrexhosting.com. There is one clause (mentioned below) that I cannot translate meaningfully into the no. videos I can play simultaneously. Actually I want to know that can this be a limitation for having the video site with Drupal.
