>> 1. openminds: good service, scalable hosting
>> 2. priorweb: they have some really interesting packages for our budget
>> 3. combell: very professional cloud hosting. We are already working

>> a discount (to be discussed)
>> 4. iLibris: a special company who are very interested in helping iRail
>> out.
>> Google them for more information
>>
>> I don't know all the details yet. This week I will have a meeting with
>> openminds and iLibris. I hope to have some answers by email at the end of

>> do this quickly. I will keep you informed about the final decision.

>> We don't want to accept sponsoring. We cannot put advertisements in an

>> free: 363-083717306 (spread the word ;)).

>> Kind regards,

>> P.S. A special thanks to Dries Harnie for feeling with us this week and
>> fixing a lot of things himself. Thanks to Tim Esselens for helping to get
>> BeLaws back up and running. Thanks to Christophe Versieux for the mental
>> support :)
