We have three hosting plans: Basic: 2 sites — first month is free $9.99/month or $59.99/year Pro: 10 sites $29.99/month or $179.99/year Extreme: 100 sites $99.99/month or $599.99/year Pay for a year upfront and save 50%. All prices are in US Dollars. We accept payments via PayPal. All plans come with no hard traffic limitations, and no hard storage limitations. We reserve the right to limit uses of bandwidth or storage that adversely impact other customers. Full Terms Of Service and Privacy Policy. [/QUOTE] Kinda pricey, but Hamakor can afford it, and furthermore, we can set up our hosting for that with some amount of effort, see: http://ikiwiki-hosting.branchable.com/ I can volunteer some time for that, but I am not a good and disciplined system administrator (which is why I buy shared hosting and other hosted services instead of setting up my own dedicated server), and moreover, spending time, effort and discipline on maintaining everything is more costly than paying some money for that because time >> money. People complained that Hamakor gathered a lot of money in the bank, and we don't know how to spend it, so here's one way how.
