Hi All,

[ASH]: don't start new threads.

Hosting for clubs is a good idea. A sensible use for free VC
traffic too.

That said, (replying to the broken thread now) we probably
don't want to be running VPSes for too many people we don't
know well. Random boxes get owned due to non-updated-Drupal-
modules/bad PHP mailer scripts/crap SSH passwords etc, and
then UCC is sending spam out and gets blacklisted - not
good.

I think that would be the main thing to impress on the
standard form - if people are going to use dynamic websites
then they need to be secure about them.

We don't have that many problems with UCC members
themselves, probably because the people who are playing with
that sort of thing are more likely to secure them anyway.

Matt
