[Mediawiki-l] host recommendation for MediaWiki?

Sun Nov 7 22:29:17 UTC 2004

I'll give you an account on one of my dedicated hosts at a cheap price 
if you want it or I could suggest you get a dedicated host of your own 
at my hosting company, 1and1.com, if you want to bother with managing 
the server yourself. I think the machines are in the US but the hosting 
company is primarily European I think.

> My further criteria:
> - All communication should be in English (Host should preferably be 
> physically located in an English language country)
> - Host should embrace a decidedly liberal stance in terms of "freedom 
> of speech"-rights. (No, we're not talking pr0n, just language.)
> - Host should preferably be located outside the US (Ireland? Canada? 
> etc.).
> - Host should preferably not cap monthly transfer or offer a large 
> (ie. 20GB+) allowance
> - Storage space should be 100 MB+
> - Host should not use .NET, MS software or similar products 
> epitomizing the pinnacles of civilization (Linux/*BSD/Mac OS X Server 
> would all be fine).
> - SMTP service should be available/part of the package
> - webmail (eg. Horde) should be available/part of the package
> - Host should ideally offer basic DNS services (i.e. I "bring my own 
> domain", point it at their DNS servers and am able to tinker a bit, 
> eg. using subdomain.mydomain.tld)
> - Host should be affordable (ie. roughly near the area of EUR 80 / USD 
> 100) p.a.
