As limited as my understanding of AWS is, there are two modes of operation: - the "classic" one where we register our domain elsewhere and do a DNS redirect to their web server. We could then point the DNS of only wiki.freenetproject.org to the to our proposed other hoster which supports htaccess. And with regards to mail, the MX DNS records can be used to point it to something else than Amazon as well. - nowadays, it seems you can also register the whole domain at AWS. Then whether DNS/MX redirects / htaccess / mail work depends on whether Amazon specifically allows it. I'm having difficulty in googling that as I don't know what the specific product we would be using at AWS is called, there are different ones. Can you clarify which one it'd be please? > > But we need to find a hoster for the mailing lists and mail forwards > > anyway, and they usually offer that in a bundle with a domain, webspace, > > email, etc. > > Google Groups? Their help says that in order to join a group, you need a Google account. I tried creating a Google account just weeks ago and it is NOT possible anymore without validating it by providing a phone number. That is unfortunately something our privacy-focused users will certainly not accept :| > I'd really like us to use AWS for as much as possible re: hosting.

Well I really don't care where we host as long as it provides what we need :) I'd like to evaluate that for AWS, but as said to be able to do so please tell us which package we'd be using. Thanks!
