And if WSFA can't afford it, I am willing to foot the bill. It's only twenty
bucks, for pete's sake.

Well, that's that.  HOSTING.COM noticed that we haven't paid anything,
so they're not going to restore our service.  I was afraid this would
happen if I called their attention to our site in any way.  Unfortunately,
I had no choice, since it was down and wasn't coming back by itself.

We can turn it back on for about $20 per month.  The files and the
machine are still there, and will remain there through the end of the
month.  I'll try to get them to waive the $49 setup fee.

Alternatively, we can turn my mirror site,
http://keithlynch.net/wsfa/, into the new WSFA.ORG for $18 per month.
This has the disadvantage that we will lose the mirror site.  Also,
it's not as fast, which could be a concern for graphical users.

Alternatively, we can try and find someone else to give us free
hosting.  This could take a while.

Or we could try to find cheaper paid hosting.  But you get what you
pay for.

At tonight's meeting I am going to recommend that we pay the $20 per
month for HOSTING.COM to turn us back on, until such time as another
free site is found (if ever).
