Migration to a VPS has been the major area of discussion. However, shared hosting is still an option. It is universally cheaper and, in a hypothetical absence of willing systems administrators, is more maintainable by non-admin types.
| Shared Hosting Options | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Host | Price | Storage | Comments |
| Dreamhost | $10.95/mo. (8.95/mo., 1yr. pre-paid) | Unlimited | Has an option to automate Drupal and MediaWiki security updates. No Backup. |
Dedicated Hosting
At least one vendor offers dedicated hosting at a competitive price.
| Dedicated Server Hosting Options | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Host | Price | RAM | Storage | Bandwidth | Comments |
| CoreNetworks | $29.95/mo | 512MB | 80 GB | 1000 GB | Bandwidth is capped at 3mbit, so there is no possibility of overage fees. |
