I'm not sure about CPU load or network bandwidth. My web host takes care of all of that for me. I think running it from a home machine is probably a bad idea overall, as it's much more likely to have downtime. (You lose power and the site goes down, but that can't happen with a web host)

Fair enough, yes, I sometimes do need to reboot my router... or other things happen... Though for the last 10 years, there hasn't been power outage here... there will be dowtime somehow caused by "home factors" 

But even so, I also agree more it should just run from a host (co-located/dedicated/virtual)

As for server costs, I'd be happy to pitch in for the first year for the new owner once they've demonstrated they can run the site. (I'm not handing 300 bucks to someone who claims they'll run the site and then run off with the cashola) So, I know that's kind of a catch 22 there. You need money to get it going but you need it going before I fund you.

What does it run now on/bandwidth usage? Yeah, uhm, no 300$ can get you some decent options to host from.

I have no problem looking after a machine and updates once a while...  I've got time enough.. 

Oh, besides that... AVEN is also discussing helping, how what where when? I don't know yet, but I guess there will be contact somehow.

I've worked in the Domain registration business for 9 years...

Worked with Linux/Database(MySQL) environments for 20 years... So I know a fair bit of system administration.

Senior programmer in PHP/Java... about 20 years...

Currently, Administrator on AVEN. (Uses invision too).

BUT... I don't have 300$...

All I can offer is running on my local home server... (500mbit up/down, unlimited data)

That is... if it fits storage wise... I really don't have the money for extra storage either.

I do run other stuff like a minecraft server on this machine... (6 Cores)... So idk what the CPU usage will be either for this forum.
