Then we can look at what kind of services do we need. For blog, we can host it on blogger. For download, gna does it. For user manual and API, we can put on gna's web space since they are static web pages. So we only need wiki for our own server, which is not heavily used. Next time, we probably can put the announcement and screenshots onto gna to reduce the traffic. That would solve most of the problems.
