Hi Graeme,
If the reason for hosting in Oz is speed. (I'm in Oz too) the Rackspcae
Cloud files and CDN can take care of that for the most part. Basically you
mount the cloud files on your linux VPS and stick images and vids there ..
then you publish the CDN url. I'm in Brisbane, and my CDN content comes out
of Brisbane with a 13 msec ping time (as apposed to my normal 250 msec
pings to USA).
If the reason is one of those annoying laws from paranoid politcians .. let
me know if you find some cheap VPSs in Australia :) I found these ones
starting at $39 a month. You only need like 128 MB RAM if you're just gonna
run your witty app on there .. but can't seem to find anyone that offers
that.
Also with the fcgi .. it probably wouldn't be too much work to add the fcgi
extensions on the existing cgi module. If you can find someone with time
and inclination to have a look at it.
Kind Regards,
Matthew Sherborne
