I am part way through a 5 year contract right now.
This site alone has 1.4 million inodes. As such it has to run on a managed server, based on a customised (by me) version of Ubuntu within a Plesk container that holds the Ioncube encryption software.
Scripts are compiled on the fly and require the Berkeley DB and various non standard cpan modules like CARP. Lots of other things also.
I already have a daily automated backup to a second server over 1000 miles away.
We had this discussion some while back. I sent you the spec and you agreed you couldn't help.
A large part of the costs are the domains, software and bb code licence fees, not the actual hosting. Seeing as I also host other things on the server, which if hosted outside of the EEA are blocked from view in the EEA due to Data Protection, your offer wouldn't help.
