It should be noted that:
A. Command Prompt has physical access to its location
B. Command Prompt has tons of bandwidth
C. Command Prompt has power
D. Command Prompt has proven a reliable provider
E. Command Prompt loves the PostgreSQL community ;)
F. We would probably have to charge a bit for power cause we are talking

G. We are close to Mark Wong as well
Sincerely,
