I'm thankful for all the input,
I 'believe' webserver and email is all that's there, so it crossed my mind
going back to just a "cheap" shared hosting arrangement for $5-$30 / month.
BUT, two reasons I don't know for sure that will be adequate are:
1. I'm (obviously) not a web admin / IT pro, (I'm responsible for video
production, but I get "asked" other technical IT questions, so I go to NLUG
and all other possible venues)
2. That video and audio is in the thousands of hours (3000+) and it is
being distributed online; that's
where this little organization isn't so little
The current workflow is to "link" to the massive video content in AWS S3 (I
guess you call that the cloud), and Vimeo and of course Youtube.
