Thread: State of our hosting page
This is out of date:

http://chesnok.com
Also, compared to the PostGIS list, our list seems oddly corporate and lacking:
Perhaps the solution is to start a wiki page?
I did some searching in preparation for a talk, and found a few threads like this:
And some ranking sites like this:
Are there other places to get this information? Does someone have time to work on a wiki page to collect a current list of providers?

The page on the website is dynamically generated and can easily be added to by hosters or others. I don't see how moving to a wiki page would make it any more up to date than the current page could be - and it has the downside of moving yet another page onto the wiki which has very a poor page rank in Google. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

How do we remove companies whose information is obsolete?

Email pgsql-www, or if you want to work on it for more than a one-off update, we can give you access to the admin interface. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

In the specific case of Selena, she already has that access, since she's a "web slave". As for the original question, there was an idea years ago to have the system send an emali to the companies at regular interval asking them to reconfirm their information. It got as far as a field in the database, which was migraed onto the new website as well I believe. But the actual reconfirmation process hasn't been implemented yet... -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

That's probably the closest thing, as it sends reports from a cronjob which seems to align with what we'd want here. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
