The extra set-up fee and 60 day notice instead of a year commitment relieves a lot of my worries. I'm on board with this if the techies think it good.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I really am very confident we'll be able to afford a year at $2400 without doing anything crazy. Really very confident.
Again, I have to say I agree with this. I don't have the technical know how to even understand how to make a decision, but I don't the money has to be a huge factor in that decision.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Just a clarification on my suggestion of a donate button. I suggested it as more of a convienence to gather funds passively for building a renewal and operating fund after our initial outlay for the upgrade/move/whatever.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
If Tom can have root access, and he's willing to be root-access-having guys, a LOT of my concerns are alleviated.

Actually, I don't know for sure if Tom is willing. His name was tossed out and I may have latched on to that prematurely. But, either way, some Buffista who is willing to be that root access having person and has the needed technical knowledge would get access to make changes.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Kristen, Tom did volunteer to do it.

I wasn't sure if that applied to a server you're sharing with FG or if it was just a Buffistas-only deal so I thought I should probably put up a disclaimer in case Tom didn't feel comfortable with the idea.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I would also want to add a rider in there that if, somehow, the level of sservice and/or downtime reaches an unacceptable level, the 60 day cancellation window no longer applies. I doubt we'd have to excersize that clause, but I'd hate to need it and not have it, you know?
I'm perfectly willing to pony up a few $$, as long as the ponying can wait a couple of weeks. I have $3 to last me until November. :(

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That "unacceptable" would have to be so rigidly quantifiable that I suspect it would never be practical.

Probably true, at least as far as service. Downtime is a lot easier: more than X% of downtime over Y timeframe, said downtime not being caused by our own screwups or issues out of fangeek's control. Basically, something that says that if they spill water on our server, we have the right to cancel immediately.
You don't allow water in the server room, do you, Kristen?
