Guys,
As I know a number of you have been discussing hosting needs for
cvs.cinelerra.org on IRC, I though I'd share a possible option with the
list. Amazon.com has a hosted service whereby you create a virtual
Linux server out in the cloud and install your apps on it:
http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/kbcategory.jspa?categoryID=84
The basic install instructions take about an afternoon to go through:
http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonEC2/gsg/2006-06-26/?ref=get-started
I did the basic setup today. and got a virtual machine up and running as
a web server:
http://domU-12-31-33-00-03-35.usma1.compute.amazonaws.com/
The machine specs are somewhat low powered: 2.4Ghz AMD Opteron 250/1GB
mem/single proc/160GB, but very suitable for web serving. The chosen
admin would logon via ssh and upload/install whatever apps necessary.
Here is a simple screen grab of some simple commands I ran on the
server:

It would probably be pricey for the average user or a group like us if
we decided to host a bunch of videos:

However, minus the hosted videos, I'm sure the price would drop quite a
bit. An accounting exercise would need to be done to figure out
estimated bandwidth and storage usage before signing up.
