My favorite hosting company, Linode, offers: London, UK, $10/mo (£7.72), 30 Gb storage, 2 TB monthly transfer, you might need a bit more, plus some fees for daily log review, maintenance, upkeep, markup, overhead, plus the one-time costs of configuring the app (inclined to think it could be done with VSFTP over SSL/TLS) plus configure the SSL cert, as I don't think a free cert would work, though a self-signed might... It shouldn't cost an arm-and-a-leg, but the biggest challenge will be getting a reliable host and a reliable hostmaster willing to charge an hour a month. I'd suggest you troll around for a local Linux hostmaster, or someone who has the ability to work in UK and knows how to spell VAT (*shudder*). --- Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cacw6n4sw1uxckw5tzhn5fu4oftwu+rnhgo-brdt5nq4j6t0...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
