I'm more than willing to provide web and sql hosting for this project in
my company for free... but for this project only... I'm not accounting
manager and I can't afford to be giving space away to all users
unfortunately :) as much as I'd like to... But yea, I'm happy to provide
web hosting/sql hosting and basically any other reasonable services on a
fast connection for the project... whether it's needed or not, i don't
know but feel free to come to me if you are looking for somewhere :)
(I run speedhosting.org btw... incase your wondering :))
