I never was apart of sounder so pardon me, but you guys could always
just get a VDS from a place like NFOServers $39USD per month for 1TB
bandwidth for on a 1Gbs line. 1 core from a Intel Xeon w/ 1GB of ram,
100GB of HDD space. Just throw a paypal or some sort of group pay and
you should have it covered. :)

//Yeah I don't understand whats going on with sounder really, just here
for tech. But I thought I'd mention NFOServers since we use them on some
of our projects.
