The render looks great! I'm glad you got the hill shading all worked  
out.

I've been using Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) for my tile- 
hosting. It's quite reasonably priced for large volumes of data, and  
I've loaded it up with a variety of tiled maps like these:

I use their EC2 service to do the actual processing and generation of  
images, but I could be doing this equally well on my own machine and  
uploading to the same S3 URL.
