I'm constantly surprised by this response to these sorts of questions. My understanding is that it's simply an initial filter - this isn't the hard stuff. My own experience is that there are many people who can't solve this sort of thing,

You're right - I should've done that. I need a few 100 MB, CGI capabilities (Python and Perl), no frameworks, unlimited emails, moderate bandwidth (http and ftp). Support should be enough to help get setup, etc, but not a lot of hand-holdin
