[Users] OpenSER Web Site hosting

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi folks,

first thanks to the guys who offered hosting and Internet connectivity 
for a machine to host the whole openser project. The only problem with 
this approach is we have to buy a server which can be some big initial 
investment.

Alternative is what Klaus suggested - hosted servers:
http://www.strato.de/server/power/index.html
http://www.strato.de/server/highend/index.html
http://www.hetzner.de/entry.html
I find more attractive (like price versus what you get) the hetzner 
offer - actually the current machine which host openser is also hosted 
by them :).


In both case, the question is who will manage it and how? Don't get me 
wrong, it is not about money - we can sponsor it -, but about how to do 
it in order to keep the project as independent as possible - because 
this is the main idea. Any ideas?

regards,
bogdan
