[AktiviX-discuss] CSC website hosting

[Alan]

Hi all,

I was hoping to ask here for any advice or recommendations about secure 
web hosting for the Colombia Solidarity Campaign

Our website in the past had been hacked due to poor server security (we 
were on commercial hosts streamline.net), and so it was moved to loaned 
server space setup with SSH and HTTPS web access which has worked well 
for us.

The website runs on an old Joomla CMS install, with diskspace usage of 
about 170MB. The hosting would need PHP and a MYSQL database. It's not 
particularly demanding of server resources, the main thing is that we 
need it to be really secure.

We need to be able to count on the hosting for privacy and security, and 
that the website wouldn't be deactivated for offending Colombian 
government supporters (our loaned server space got a letter along these 
lines).

I'm not a sysadmin so I couldn't set-up and maintain a virtual server 
myself, but also I think the campaign could only justify hosting costs 
of £100 or so a year. Maybe Aktivix can offer hosting, which we would 
gladly pay for.

Thanks for any suggestions you might have
