Well, there's no need for y'all to pay for hosting. I've got unlimited space/bandwidth and I'd be happy to carve off an account for vsra - you would still need to maintain the domain name, but all the front- and back-end can be free.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I do pay ~ $120 a year for my hosting, but it really can't be beat.
If you decide to take me up on the offer, I'll make sure to setup an ftp user and give you access to the sql database manager so you'll have full control of the site. If you need anything more advanced, I'll be able to handle it for you (I'm not going to give anyone a shell account)
Let me know.
p.s. - I worked as a web dev while I was going to school, and I've been thinking about offering a full site design but it takes more time than I can commit to such a project. However, if I come up with something over time, I'll let you know.
