<div>Gavin,</div>
<div>Thanks for the input. Yes I will provide feedback soon. I have a couple of days to list and document so whats this space.</div>

<div>As last resort I think it will be possible to "port" from Windows developed stack to Linux OS. All it requires is the actual code to be ported to an already setup mapserver stack (same versions) on a linux system hopefully with same build libraries.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Would a Linux OS be setup with the required stack? if yes then it means we just move code from Windows to Linux.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Would this be possible as an alternative scenario?</div>

<div>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>Gavin
