If it's not an "infrastructure server" (web/mail/etc) it doesn't really
matter where it is hosted, IMHO - as long as there are on-site techs to
help you if things go bad. (If it's web etc, we need to look at getting
good distribution etc) So no objectinos from me.=20
It could actually be a point not to "over-stress" the places where we
can expect further offers for hosting servers that are more critical.
From that perspective, OSL seems a very good choice.

(Hey, I can host it here if I get to play with it for personal stuff
instaed of pg stuff :-P)
