Okay. The web hotel tech support answered and I think I'll be able to replicate the pretty URL scheme on their servers using mod_rewrite rules in the .htaccess. You can now put in a A record for wiki.xmlsoft.org pointing at: 62.20.1.160 He has put up a virtual host for us on their server, but it won't go active until during the night. So I'll try to do the migration sometime tomorrow.
