If you don't like the tiny VPS, AWS offers there smallest compute cloud for about $9 a mouth. It has worked pretty well for me so far (hosing a WordPress blog that can handle about 1,000,000 hits a day easily). plus you get the first year free and can be upgraded/downgraded at will with vary little effort(can even be automated via there api). <br>

</div>We might be able to streamline to the point where that works. The last time we talked about size we<br>
were unhappy that 512M isn't enough for drupal. We're currently using 256M (not counting cache) so<br>
some things would have to be done differently. I suppose we could use 2 or 3 of those to spread the<br>
load and maybe still come out ahead. And there are potentially cheaper providers.<br>

</div>I don't know what's needed or available for handling nodes that go down. Even without over<br>
engineering it there would need to be more than I know how to do (so far).<br>
