Nex this bastages

Ehhhh... I think we are exceeding 20 megs with just the basic site and archives. Besides a lot of those 20 meg cheappy sites are fly by night and built on rickety networks/servers with low uptime ratings. The old addage you get what you pay for hold true. However a way that some money may be saved is saved is by looking into combining both 10d6 and TheActionTeam to one service. You may ask services if they will allow multiple domain names per account. Even if they charge a small monthly fee that could cut costs down. Maybe even you could get Studio9one2 on the same server and cut costs for both parties but have studio9one2 pay a larger share? Then again maybe they will not be down with that. Besides we are way underutilizing all three hosting environments. I would consider this a high priority. When you set it up I will throw down some cash to help the webhosting Superfund.

The one plan that stuck out was common across all three of these resources with high ratings was www.lunarpages.com. They have very good uptime, great user and editorial reviews. Besides all the servers are named after roman mythology gods. That ought to make motorbyke thrilled. Some of the other top sites had a little bit of user gripes with similar customer service issues as ours. But Lunarpages seemed relatively free of that. They are $7.95/Mo with free setup. Thats an annual of $95.40.
