At some point this year, our hosting contract will come up -- at that point, we'll hopefully be ready to consider the *possibility* of an alternative hosting provider. We've been very happy with Hurricane Electric over the years, and will have a strong bias toward staying, but it only makes sense to think about what else is out there -- our hosting costs are now above our income (ad revenue plus donations -- the ad revenue has fallen in recent months), and so I suppose cost is a consideration.
Our current contract is for 1 megabit per second - we have root on the main server. Any provider would have to be prepared to handle DOS attacks (we get those) and the like. Currently, we run the website on another server, but it would be nice to combine it.
I should say the HE's service is really good -- 24 hour live telephone support with direct access to the server ("eyes and hands"), with incidents lasting under 15 minutes free (even if there are many of them in the space of a few hours). We haven't had to do that much, but when we have it's been huge, and has prevented a lot of downtime.
Anyone know of a good place to look?
