Few problems with hosting. Shared hosting is proving to be a problem. For starters, no SSH access means we pretty much can't run/install anything other than CMS systems which is pretty rubbish.
We considered going to the cloud, as we're not exactly expecting mammoth numbers of hits. The cloud, the latest buzz, is the amazon EC2 affair. The future of web development. Even comes with a calculator.

Trouble with the cloud is, like most things, strip away the silky velure and you realise that this is a whole pile of shite. For a prototype site you're looking at 500+ per year for a VPS (virtual private server). So great for those who want to upscale large sites and use resource "bursts". Crap for us.
So gonna use plain old VPS on our irish host at 18 euro per month. Functional, cheap, not so pretty but should work, like a wank sock.
