[Fsfe-uk] Hosting for Sixth Form College student Wordpress install

[A. S. Bradbury]

Apologies if this is not completely on-topic, though I think this is a topic 
many readers of this list may have some knowledge of. I attend a UK Sixth 
Form College that currently has no form of student-run publication. The 
traditional 'student newspaper' concept isn't likely to work for a variety of 
reasons, and there is interest in being a little more experimental, setting 
up more of a collaborative weblog. The plan is to set up Wordpress, accept 
submissions, publish regularly and allow comments. Informed debate forms and 
creative arguments are published, and everyone is happy - or at least that's 
the plan. The problem is that there's no way the student council can get the 
required level of hosting on the college's internal server (the admin is 
concerned about security...). 

This leaves only the option of external hosting. Hosted blogs such as blogger 
are too inflexible. It should be fairly low traffic, low-bandwidth and 
wouldn't be too expensive. It's just hard to get people to agree to allowing 
the funds to be spent without an idea of what we might achieve and the 
success it would gain. Ideally, I'm interested if anyone knows of a UK web 
hosting company or organisation with some web space that would be interested 
in helping to enable this project to go forward at no cost? Sorry that this 
post is quickly written. Please reply with any 
comments/questions/suggestions/offers for help either to the list or to me 
personally.

Regards,
Alex Bradbury
