Since this thread is already top-post... One of the reasons software can be "free" is because people are able to make money doing things like hosting and consulting. If you are looking for charity because you are poor, or what you want to do has little commercial value, you would be wise to propose what it is you want to actually accomplish and the specific resources you likely need. Showing effort on your part will project professionalism as opposed to the free-loader personality that you show when you simply ask for free stuff. Simply pointing out that you need to eat as the reason why you need free hosting makes you look foolish. The fact that you cross-posted projects disrespect for the very communities providing the "free" stuff you want to use. I'm sorry your research GRANT expired but you should focus on either obtaining a new grant or how to earn a regular income. If you are starting your own business the reality is that you need funds as opposed to free hosting. Funds will get you both physical (hosting) services and access to expertise. That is all the personal/professional advice I'm am willing to give right now; I need to go fix myself lunch. David J.
