in thread [OT] Providing a Windows ppm repo at minimal cost

In addition to "the web space provided", don't forget to compare the allowed transfer volume (i.e. what you get without being charged extra). I don't know what volume you'd expect for a ppm repository, but I know from hosting images (jpgs) that as soon as people start to find something useful, this can add up quickly...

    Good point. GreenGeeks advertises a bandwidth of 200,000 Mb per month, which IIUC should equate to ~20000 downloads of the largest of the perl binaries that I provide. (I don't think that the ppm packages that I provide are so popular as to exceed that value... but it'd be nice to be proven wrong about that :-)

    Cheers,
