It seems that BugMeNot.com has had its hosting pulled by HostGator, according to this article on WiredNews. Fortunately its back up online and is now hosted by NearlyFreeSpeech.net.
NearlyFreeSpeech seems to be offering an alternative model to the typical hosting package: $1 per 1Gb of bandwith, and $0.01 per Mb per month for web space, which in theory means you only pay for what you use...which would mean that to host this blog (and the other stuff that runs on Phoenixproductions) would cost a grand total of $84 a year! The only problem I can foresee with this idea is that if you should get /.ed, as the hosting page says:
If your personal bandwidth account is depleted, your web site hosting will end automaticallyHmm a little clarification maybe here? Does it just end or will you get notified that it has and get a grace period to top it up? So if you get /.ed there's a good chance that your web site will actually just disappear!
That said looking at the hosting package it seems like quite a good deal.
