While all the suggestions are nice, I think we're mostly looking for a company to sponsor OSM (eg. giving the hosting for free).
I don't personally know the owner of openstreetmap.be, I only recalled a conversations from the mailing list where it was stated that the owner was "OSM friendly). Since I am unable to be very involved in the creation of this new website, I would prefer if someone else served as the point of contact. Contact details can easily be found via WHOIS/dns.be.
