So are you asking for somebody to sponsor you hosting or are you wanting
to plug OpenStreetMap? If you¹re wanting to be sponsored hosting then you
should probably provide a few more detailsŠ

- how busy is the site?
- what¹s it written in?
- what are the bandwidth requirements?
- do you just want bandwidth (I.e. you¹re hoping to drop down your own box
but be given free traffic and a place to drop it)?

If I was considering sponsoring you hosting I¹d definitely need to know
the answers to at least those questions first and I¹m sure quite a few
others as well.
