What sort of hosting arrangements do you use for your websites?
We know that GPWA webmasters use a wide variety of arrangements for hosting their websites. Some own dedicated servers they manage themselves while others rent virtual or physical servers. Some pay third parties to host individual websites. And it would not surprise us if some members used cloud-based services for hosting their sites.
