With DynDns you can purchase a custom IP so the static IP is not an
issue - I'd host it but I have run out of ethernet ports on my router.
Having said that I can host it for a few weeks of testing as there is
a spare connection I do not use so often. For the next LUG meeting we
will need a USB for unslinging the firmware - so if anyone has a
spare. I use a cheap 4Gb one on my NSLUs which are more than adequate.

I imagine any site we host is going to be fairly light traffic. I use
Cherokee webserver on mine as it is lighter on resources than Apache -
remember this little box only has about 64Mb of on-board memory.

Here's a site running on mine: http://plum.gotdns.org

Using LightNeasy CMS - flat-file php
