I have a couple servers in the DC here at work. If you need webhosting, sure we could work something out (for free), I would also foot the bill if there was one for hosting adapower.com or whatever else that may be helpful to the Ada community. Sourceforge seems like a better environment for projects, but general web stuff, it would be cool.
