Default Moving NPC DB assistance...

I'll be moving back home soon and will be back to slow dial-up service, so the MyWorldEQ npcmov test server will be coming down.
I am in need of a host for the server , so that I can assemble a "Team" to help get this thing completed in a timely fashion.
I would like to have a complete , or nearly completed Moving NPC DB by the end of summer, but need to get a few more team members involved and have a host for the server so that all would be able to join the server and work on thier assigned zones.
If anyone can assist me with hosting please PM me so we can discuss it.
Anyone interested in joining the Team can also PM me and we'll try to get a method of communication set up so that all involved can be kept up to date on the progress and assignments.
I am looking into a co-location set-up with my local PUD on a 100mbs fiber optic line , but since my wifes recent surgery and medical needs , I'm not sure I'll be able to afford it right away.
I'm trying to figure out other ways to assemble the DB from individual zones done by team members, then reassembled as one DB , but IMHO it will be much easier to complete on a server with everyone working together.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions , please let me know.

On the dedicated hosting, there are some good deals out there... http://www.webhostingtalk.com/ has some good user reviews, http://www.nocster.com specifically has https://secure.burst.net/orders/nocster/5.shtml where you can get a 100GB transfer server with 5 IPs for $50 a month.

Hmm those servers have really low CPU/RAM count , not a good idea for a EQEMu server.

I have a suggestion that may be of intrest...

To work on my own DB, I seperated the spawnentry, spawn2, and spawngroup by zone into their own directories. Next, I created grid data for each mob and assigned the grid the same number as the spawn it is for.

Putting it all together is pretty easy too. I just created a couple batch files like:

Build-Spawn2.bat (in the main directory that holds all the seperate zones)
Code:
"type acrylia\spawn2.txt >> spawn2.sql"
"type airplane\spawn2.txt >> spawn2.sql"
...with one line for each zone. Similar batch files were created for spawnentry, spawngroup, and grid. Note all the files were named with the .txt extension.

The final step was another batch file:
Code:
spawn2.sql >> db.sql
spawnentry.sql >> db.sql
spawngroup.sql >> db.sql
grid.sql >> db.sql
Then I just source it in. Because each zone has it's own directory, it's easy to work on and dump a single zone at a time.

Just an idea for you...

I just dropped the files and an example zone onto my server here.
No docs for it, but you should have no problem figuring it out.

I can host you a server if you can figure out how to run them on linux and boot them up using php (telnet is fucked).

Other then that its a perfectly good unused host I have.
