For a lot of us who don't already have a Linux box sitting around that we can install OpenACS on, hosting is indeed an attractive solution, especially at the prices being offered now. Considering the cost of a suitable computer, and the time spent installing and configuring, $240-300 a year for a preconfigured solution is a pretty good deal. BUT WAIT! You also get a free fat internet pipe along with the deal, to handle any traffic you may be lucky enough to get -- without violating any silly anti-server clauses in your ISP's Terms of Service. Seems like a great deal to me...
