What can we do, Tom? Anything?

Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
Correct me if I'm wrong, testers--logging out and emailing admins are the only extant bugs?
Logging out is a priority 1 deal, but so is not being here anymore, je pense.
I'm also in a not good place for this, but needs as what the fuck ever. Our code is in a decent place to move--we need a good home.
We need to:
- find a new home (PHP 5.3.17 or lower)
- point a first domain that's not this
- migrate code from my test home
- test really fucking quickly
- shut down here
- copy data
- import data in new home
- point b.org to new digs
- stop getting hacked
I throw dreamhost into the ring for #1--they're solid, but they have performed server moves and random upgrades that broke much simpler code than this, and been unhelpful in troubleshooting. Don't know cost for this app.
It will probably require a few hours of downtime to migrate the data-- export, copy, import. Hopefully I can do this before the weekend, but I doubt I can do it before then.
Other site hosts? Things I'm forgetting? People who magically want to do all the heavy lifting?
WORST COMES TO WORST we (uh, I) can hurriedly export the tables, copy them, and import them into my test domain. BUT I HAVE NO IDEA IF I'LL GET DRY FUCKED ON RESOURCE UTILISATION IN THE MEANWHILE,
There's no good week for this, but I'm typing from the hospital bed I was admitted to a few hours ago. This is a lousy week.
Oh god, you guys, I wish there were anything I can do on the technical end. I can run a fund drive, at least.
Well, shitballs.
I'm happy to donate a few hours and a few $. Is donations@ the right address to use?
Yes please.
Insent, Jesse.
Yep -- you can also email that same address for my mailing address if you prefer.
I test exported some data, and it might not take as long as hours and hours. A couple?
We need a new web host., stat. Let me go ask the question in tech.
Insent, Jesse.
Wish I could contribute some help other than financial, but I doubt the ability to draw or to make cross traffic appear out of thin air at intersections will be of use in the current situation.
Yeah, code is one of the things I can't write.
If an epic poem would help, though, just shout.
