I'm a Kubuntu user who has contributed to Kubuntu funds and used Kubuntu since Natty Narwhal 11.04. I would rather see Kubuntu funds used to build a better Kubuntu than to pay for higher than necessary hosting fees for the Kubuntu web-site. I'm also a happy DigitalOcean customer that has long since stopped using web hosting companies to host my ever *decreasing* needs for a web-site. I've always found the cost of a VPS to be cheaper than a comparable web-host and I have the bonus of more control over access and configuration. If the Kubuntu team and the Kubuntu community can administer a VPS, I think it's obvious that it can, then a VPS is the way to go. Obviously the bandwith/download limits are a consideration here so a web-hosting company might well be the best option in order to to reduce hosting costs. Perhaps someone needs to look at bandwith figures before a decision is made? Just my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. :) -- Paul White [email protected] -- kubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-devel
