[Talk-GB] OSM Analysis New Data and bot

[Graham Jones]

I may be showing my ignorance, but isn't S3 a virtual server that you can
run code on etc?

I thought that all this needs is a web (or does it have to be ftp) server?

Cloudnext (http://cloudnext.co.uk) do a web hosting package with 'unlimited'
storage space and bandwidth for £70 pa (+vat I suspect), which does not
sound bad.   They seem to be ok - they host my http://maps3.org.uk server,
which seems reliable enough (but it does not get hammered).

The biggest issue I see is getting the data onto the server.   The nice
people at OS sent me all of VMD on DVDs, so I have them on my home server,
but ftp'ing them up to another server using my domestic broadband would take
forever......would need someone with a nice fast upload connection.

Regards


Graham.
