Currently all hosted at theplanet, on our own box, called Tempest.
Runs an older - but stable - version of Debian Linux. Maintained by
the sysadmin team so there's no risk of a single point of failure (or
single gatekeeper which we've had twice before). We don't hear about
it because it Just Works for us. Yay - go the Mighty Sysadmin Team.

Dave Kaufman - who has fingers in both sysadmin and finance pies - saw
a new box, which also happens to be 2/3 the cost.

Updating the old box to support Drupal 6 (and later) looks painful.

Current cost: $69/month. Covered pretty much by the Google ads on beo,
plus we have a couple of years' worth of reserves.
New box looks like it'll cost a wee bit ($150 one off) to install our
chosen Linux flavour (Currently running CentOS Linux; we prefer either
current Debian or Ubuntu).
Finance - like Sysadmin: not a problem.
