Yes that looks okay, is that sufficient enough ??
Well, we can always chat about it on the irc, but I am for it.
Heaven is on the way, until then let's get the truth out!

We would need to look around for independent reviews/comments that
that mob, hostexcellence, are really okay.
There's a lot of "glitter and gloss" on their web pages, which always makes
me suspicious.

Yes, it's track record that counts, that is why we're attracted to John's server (hoping also that it has higher MySQL version than what you have now).

For what it's worth, I've had satisfactory service from JaguarPC http://www.jaguarpc.com/. Prices are competive and tech support has always been prompt.

Hey, those guys accept PayPal!
tera-byte doesn't, I asked them.

PayPal has advantages for us. A broker that accepts credit card payments
on our behalf, no need for a merchant account or system that has high
monthly fees (most charge about $20 - $30 per month, PayPal has no
monthly fee, no setup fee, only a transaction fee of each sale).
Also PayPal is the best for very small payments.
With PayPal also it is a pushover to create a shopping cart system
-- I just last week looked into that for someone. real easy.
With PayPal the financial record is online for trusted persons to view.

And, if we can pay from our PayPal account, that simplifies things.

If the Foundation wants to setup a PayPal account, need to provide a
bank account also. The Treasurer could create an account in his own
name maybe, provide his own bank details.
PayPal Business Account is the one to get.
PayPal provides has full functionality in Australia.
I have an "Award Saver"account with the Commonwealth Bank here
in Australia, have transferred money out of PayPal, the bank charged
nothing.

Anyway, in my book that's a point against tera-byte, one point for
jaguarpc.

MySQL version

An immediate issue is the MySQL version - must be equal to or higher than 4.1.7. Or someone converts the data backup so it loads nicely into an older version :)

I have tools to do that ...

So don't worry about the MySql version.
