Wetlook World Forum

One complaint is replicated three times by two different user names, proving that someone is posting spiteful comments against them. That said, they do appear to impose script execution limits that worry me a little. Their overall review level is above Dreamhost, who I have considered, although they're a little more costly. I see that Servage allow legal adult content, same as Lunarpages; DreamHost "... will exercise no control whatsoever over the content of the information passing through the network" which also sounds pretty positive.

So far, it's between DreamHost, Lunarpages, Servage and Host Gator ...

Graham of Styx suggested The Mothership, which are more like $75/month, which forces me to address the issue of whether $100/member is acceptable for $6-10/month hosting if every member covers a year's hosting.

Patrick at The Mothership thinks that no host would ever really offer us our levels of usage. Globat definitely DO, but they're a pain. By the sounds of it, Servage may not and may lock the site down. DreamHost and Lunarpages, I just cannot tell. If we go The Mothership, member price remains the same. If we go with a cheap host, is $100/member still valid? One member per month keeps the site going for 12 years ... To me, $100/member seems very steep for the cheap hosting prices, and no longer has to pay for all the trouble Steve went to to run the site: I rebuilt it and it's far more efficient to run, and I know there will be ways I can improve it yet -- if Tom takes over, he might start telling me what to improve (or, if he can code PHP, alter it himself).

I've talked about this at length with Patrick, CCing WetGod and Tom the Austrian and we'll see what any of them say.

I wish it was down to someone else to sort this all out -- I have no real-world clue about, well, anything :-)

Thanks for the suggestions.
