Looking for Web Space?

Hi everyone,
    I hope you don't mind a little shameless promotion here.

     Well, I think the time is drawing near for OfB & Co. to move to a
dedicated server. Right now, I'm paying as much for shared hosting as I
would be for a dedicated server (thus making the time seem right). 

     Here's the thing: most dedicated servers have more resources than
the ten or so sites I host need. So, I was thinking of maybe selling
some of the space exclusively to anyone on OfB lists that might want it.
I'm not sure when this will happen, but it might be within a week or
two.

    I'm thinking something like this:

100 megs of space
1 to 5 gigs of transfers (depends on what I get "upstream")
Unlimited pops, forwarders, etc.
MySQL db (maybe 1 or 2)
control panel (hopefully CPanel or Plesk, maybe webmin)
Maybe 1 or 2 mailing lists (not sure yet if that would be included)?
SSH shell
-etc-

It will be running RH, Fedora or Debian, depending on where it ends up
coming from. The network will hopefully be multihomed. The absolute most
sites I envision on the machine would be 100, most likely 40 or less
(most servers have 200 or more these days). 

For between $30 and $36 a year ($2.50-$3.00/month).

The real catch would be that it wouldn't really be supported. I have a
vested interest in keeping it up (OfB and my web design clients would be
on it), but unfortunately I can't provide 24x7 support. I would help if
something went wrong with the server, but I'd rather promise no support
and provide something than promise support and be unable to. If
something happened like your site was completely down, then I'd get it
working. Hopefully that makes sense.

If I offered such a deal, would there be any takers here? If I get a
several takers, perhaps I'll upgrade to a better server for the sites
(this is meant to be a break-even proposition).

  Thanks,
           Tim
