Nerd wanted!

My hosting solution just sent me the "updated" invoice for next year and they are out of their fucking corporate minds. So rather than giving them more money, I was thinking it would be nice to pay some self-hosting hacker type (furry or not) and support weird and small rather than large and capitalist.

I would need the following:
- the fairly lightweight website orsom.eu reliably online (all html/CSS with a tiny bit of JavaScript, quite low traffic, okay just using FileZilla for access)
- a couple of email addresses with 5-10 GB of storage (a webmail client would be a plus for emergencies, but just using Thunderbird and K9 is fine)
- EU based (preferably) and better if you can send me an invoice

Do you already have something similar for yourself and don't mind me tagging along for a few years until I have the time to set up self-hosting on my own? Let me know!

Boosts appreciated ❤️

@Madmonkey @tino thank you! I think we'd be a great fit on all counts if you can cope with UK rather than EU. We don't do renewal-time price hikes. In fact, our standard hosting account has remained at exactly the same price for 26 years. For both new and existing customers, obvs.

Honestly impressed, how did you manage that through 20+ years of inflation?

@oblomov @Madmonkey @tino mostly because we never took investment. Our shareholders are founders and staff who are happy with making a consistent stable profit rather than trying gouge the customers for everything they're worth.

Similarly we own the code running our control panels so software vendors aren't screwing us and forcing us to pass the costs on to our customers.

@beasts @Madmonkey @tino thank you very much. I'll keep you in mind if I ever need hosting solutions.
