Chris; Not to sound glib; it is not my intention.
Start up your own hosting service. Spread REBOL by spreading REBOL. :)
Home PC's are more than powerful enough with (completely free) GNU/Linux
server packages...
And this is the not trying to sound glib part...if you are stuck with lowspeed
modem connections that is not really a viable option, but I'd bet that
renting some space in a town that has high speed...all you need in about 6
cubic feet and a drop. Offer up the service to a few people and the line
lease and space could ending up costing you near zero. And (more expensive)
two-way satellite is available pretty much anywhere, but uplinks may always
be slower than downlink but projects like UNIC may change that landscape
soon.
The biggest time sink holes are backups, security and working out 'proof of
life' anti-spam measures. I know that everyone on the ML is tech savvy enough
to be the next Go Daddy or BlueHost.
Cheyenne is a great Web Server. (Go Doc Go!) The level of REBOL software is
growing everyday, and I hope soon they will play well together (Vanilla,
QM ... (haven't give Annabelle a test drive yet) ... many larger systems get
into namespace problems but as things progress this complaint should start to
disappear).
Being your own webmaster is just ... umm ... cool. Advertising REBOL makes it
sweet.
Cheers,
Brian
