Brian was blogsurfing today and ran across my hosting rant - he offered to host me for free on his non-profit server, the Zyx.net Project, or for pay with the promise that I can yell at him personally if something’s wrong at the webhost he admins - WestHost.

Here’s a forum where you can go to talk about Featureprice!
