Hi Sarel<BR>
<BR>
I have had experience with Hetzner in Germany and DataPro in Cape Town. Hetzner with dedicated servers and DataPro with a clients' own servers. <BR>
<BR>
Offshore hosting has the advantage of negligible bandwidth costs. <BR>
<BR>
I have come across a couple of North American services that cover the mapserver and postgis part of your stack, not sure about the MS though. <BR>
<BR>
I have generally done full management along with Tim Sutton (Linfiniti) or directly with my clients on the following stack:<BR>
<BR>
Ubuntu server<BR>
PostgreSQL/PostGIS<BR>
MapServer/Mapnik/GeoServer/QGIS map server<BR>
Python (mainly Django)/php(a little)<BR>
<BR>
A few of us (AfriSpatial and Linfiniti so far that I know of) are offering / keen to offer hosting solutions on more or less the above stack so please continue the discussion on or off list. These would most likely be VPS or shared servers.<BR>
<BR>
It would also be interesting to see your results if you're planning to share them. <BR>
<BR>
