[committee] Prices for Club Hosting

[Matt Didcoe]

A few thoughts/questions:

1) We can offer no SLA given the constantly changing nature of our
setup and systems - this needs to be communicated to anyone who wants
to use us
2) The guild offer free hosting[1] - whats the point in using UCC also
offering it (sure we'd probably run ours a little bit better...but do
we want the responsibility?)
3) Space for VMs - what resources are we offering for this $50 VPS?
Where can we put them?

I'm not saying its a bad idea - I think the guild hosting is
terrible[2] (case in point, the fact they got fucked over by failing
to secure their server and club websites were down for ages). We need
to put some thought into it and I'd like some of my fellow wheel
colleagues to weigh in with any thoughts they might have (now CC'd).

Cheers,

[2] In case the guild come reading, that's my opinion, not UCCs...and
you knew it already
[3] Oh look, footnotes! And it's not an email from [DJA]
