With the shutdown of RTB upon us, and Kaphost long gone, the only presently running hosting service that I'm aware of is CBMHost, a free service that doesn't have enough room to meet demand.
I hear hammereditor is planning on starting his service up again, but needless to say his reputation leaves something to be desired among the community.
The question is this:
How great is the want for a hosting service? Would you be willing to pay to receive a barebones hosting service like Kaphhost (remote console, start/stop, ftp, ugly interface) if it meant it was able to be launched quickly - within the next few days, or would you greatly prefer a clean and polished hosting service like RTB, at the cost of having to wait a an indeterminate amount of time (it took RTB host what, 6 months for creation and testing? a year?)?
Since I know there are a number of hosts coming out of RTB, I also think it's safe to assume that you guys are going to want a solution now, not later. The question is, how many of you actually do want it right now?
Furthermore, would anyone be interested in a hosting service of the first kind, hosted by myself?
If you are interested in the quicker solution, PM me. Plans are still up in the air, and nothing may come of it, but I need to know who specifically is interested.
