[Noisebridge-discuss] could you host my media wiki pages, 2-4 months?

I suggest taking a look at nearlyfreespeech.net for hosting small,
low-traffic Web sites. You only pay for the bandwidth and storage
that you actually use. I switched from a $9/month hosting provider
earlier this year, and just finished transferring my domains from Dyn
today. For a dynamic Web site under a single domain, the total cost
might be around $25/year.
Plus, I think you'll find that NFSN's principles are in tune with
Noisebridge's.
It's not a general VPS service, though -- you don't get to run
persistent processes like mod_perl, for example.
