We need stable dedicated hosting, so for example if OSM went away
because your cluster had to run a CFD on the latest jet engine you're
designing then everyone would be upset like they are now.

Hosting is very welcome, thank you for the offer. If it's dedicated and
we can get a service agreement together then we can move forward. I've
had off-list hosting offers I'm talking to people about but it doesn't
happen in 4 or 5 days.

It *is* a pity, and I'm trying to make it not happen because all this is
stopping me working on features.
