A Simple Way To Go Faster Than Light That Does Not Work

jmac.org (and gameshelf.jmac.org and appleseed-sc.com) is mostly back up, and should stay that way, because I fully expect Linode to do me right where Tektonic has failed. Please let me know if anything seems amiss; gonna keep the old server running for a little while (at a different name) just in case.

Jmac.org web & email has gotta move again, and soon. daerr has been my latest kind host, but his machine is falling apart and he's planning on bailing soon. I figure that, after more than eight years of hoboing this domain around, it's finally time to move it off of FriendlyNet and into the realm of paid-for hosting.

Any recommendations for hosting solutions? I am assuming that, since I want me own MySQL tables and Mason-based websites, I am too much of a control freak for Dreamhost, but feel free to tell me otherwise. (I don't need mod_perl, so long as Mason works.)

I am leaning towards getting a virtual user-mode Linux thing somewhere. They're more expensive, but you can go crazy on them. OTOH you have to do your own sysadminning, and enh.

I politely decline in advance offers to host on your own server or your friend's server or whatnot, thank you anyway. (Unless your friend runs a legit hosting business.) This will support, among other things, my professional identity. I need to be able to yell at someone when it falls over, without feeling like I'm stretching a personal favor thin.
