Re: [libreoffice-website] offsite website backup

Florian that would be interesting read.

I work at a data center and im not sure what we could offer a non profit 
organization price wise if you want something in another country for 
redundancy. I have an ubuntu 10.04 vps from here and its very high 
performing considering i have my business website as well as an audio 
stream and 2 other sites on it.

Would you guys consider paying for a vps that you would have full 
control over. If so what specs would you want in a vps? a fully 
dedicated colocated server would be too costly as we charge per kwH of 
electricity.
