Guys,

I'm trying to resurrect our website so we can make our presence known,
provide updates, and establish a point of collaboration. Every
plan/projects we have is dependent on having a website since I don't
believe Ubuntu's wiki would suffice.

I would need your opinion/suggestion as to where it'll be hosted. We
have 2 options here:

Option 1: Canonical Server
Pros:
1) Application updates handled by Canonical Sysadmins
2) Less Downtime / More Reliable
3) Backed by more experienced Sysadmins
4) Stricter QA and Testing

Cons:
1) Very few available applications (Drupal, Moinmoin, Planet, WordPress)
2) Modules, Themes, and other Web Applications has to go through
Testing, QA, and Security Checks which translates to "it'll take a while
before we can approve it."
3) I am still unsure as to how it'll be accessed and managed by Web
Masters. Will we get SSH access? Or will we be limited to SFTP.

Option 2: External Hosting
Pros:
1) We get to choose what web apps, themes, and plugins gets installed.
2) We get to choose when and what apps we upgrade/update

Cons:
1) Shared Hosting's prone to abuse
2) We only get FTP access
3) New account for every domain/sub-domain
4) Reliable server's not cheap
5) No access to shell, backups done via a web apps.

I'm currently eyeing 110mb.com for external hosting since they offer
cheaper rates (one-time payment / lifetime membership). But if you know
someone who'll gladly host our website for a minimum fee, please don't
hesitate to reply.

Thanks

We've had a lenghty discussion on the said topic in the forums[1]. We
believe it'll be best if we stick with Canonical Hosting.

If there aren't any objections, we'll push through with this.
