[maemo-community] TMO forums donated to Hildon Foundation

[From: Reggie Suplido]

I know it's tempting due to the price but I would stay away from
virtual. You wouldn't know how many virtual sites/forums are running
on the same server that can affect the speed of the forum, and at the
same time how the forum can hog the other virtual sites in the same
server.

You can probably find a dedicated or cloud server for under
$200/month, with no long term contract. It might be also be a good
idea to ask around. Some members/organizations might have a dedicated
server that they don't use that much -- or maybe ask meego.com
(Intel/Nokia, Intel mostly) if they would allow maemo.org/HF to run
for a few months in their servers in OSU for free or a fee.
