hosting of what? in general, aktivix would probably tell people to ask
tachanka about hosting of bigger sites, while smaller ones
(e.g. wordpress installs) might be redirected to network23.org

noflag site claims they host several scottish sites. i wonder if it is
related to space bunny. i would be wary of this group as they do not
seem to be particularly focussed on security issues of relevance to
activists. thus, i would not recommend them.

same goes for nologic - i have never seen anything that indicates a
level of security-awareness. however, i have heard they host some
relatively big sites.

now, with regard to the original question, the organisation that is best
suited to this i think would be mayfirst/peoplelink - www.mfpl.org -
which is hosted in the states and has dealt with legal cases very well
(in the ones that i know about - but they're basically all openly
documented, so people should be able to find out about them).

solidarity,
