Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Thanks for the offer to help. We decided it was easier to just restore
the nightly snapshot.

I also might suggest that a future version have a more graceful way of
failing when disk space runs out. We do use AFS and it was actually a
lack of disk quota, so that might have contributed.

(however using BitKeeper on shared AFS volumes has been nearly problem
free for the last 1.5 years, and we do _not_ use a server and instead
push/pull directly from shared directories)
