Rackspace (who are my current hosting providers) have seriously mucked up in the billing stakes last month. I can no longer afford to run my server on such a (censored) way that's going to cost me more money than I ought to be spending each month. The long and short of it is that I'm terminating my dedicated server with Rackspace. Preferably ASAP (before the end of the month).
Therefore, is there any kind people with a spare server out that that would be willing to handle hosting (either permanent or temporary - I'm attempting to see if my bosses would be willing to sponsor Alug by providing some space on their server)
The term, "oh bugger!" springs to mind and I sincerely apologise to everybody about this. In particular to Mark Ray and David Freeman who are the current list moderators. I would like nothing better to scream and shout at Rackspace's accounts department for well and truly cocking things up. In July they took the best part of $1,156 dollars instead of $315 due to a muck up with their records. It's been fixed, but this latest incident does not impress me.
I'm eyeing up a DSVR account as a potential new home for all my bits and bobs (I'm using Fasthosts for the time being for drake.org.uk - yeah, I know they're crap, but they're okay for a short period while I find something better), but nothing has been decided yet.

Hmmm. What's required? I can handle mailman list hosting easily enough, but I'm wary of hosting a website involving lots of flashy PHP or whatever (does it? It doesn't appear to, but ISTR people talking about it and SQL stuff?).

(or whatever that redirects to now) is a good place to get a list of web hosting places. Of course if you're looking for colo or a dedicated server it's not quite so good. How flexible are the DSVR partitions? I've looked at FreeVSD before but can't say I was particularly impressed - fine if you're just doing webhosting but not great for playing about with a server in general. Is anyone out there offering UML accounts?
