I should mention first off that much information can be had by using the Forge's "Search" function, above.
In the past, people have sought Web hosting recommendations:

Website Hosting
In the forum thread Paying for the Forge, Clinton noted:
Clinton R. Nixon wrote: - You can get a subdomain at the Forge (whatever.indie-rpgs.com) for $60/year.
- You can host your games on the Forge Bookshelf for $40/10 MB of games/year.
[the above is slightly edited by Panchyk; no facts or figures were changed]
Clinton, of course, is also the author of How to Make Your Own Role-playing Game (Cheap)
The resources section of the Forge mentions a site called Host Professor
There's even a thread with basic instructions on getting a Web site up and running:
The Whole Website Ordeal
As well as one concerning getting a domain name (if you don't want a Forge subdomain as mentioned above--you do, don't you? Admit it.):

As an aside, having a web host who understands your business needs is always a plus, so both the aforementioned RPG specialists should probably be your first port of call. Especially when you consider that both Nathan and Clinton have experience of selling RPGs online...

Is this information available ANYWHERE but in that one thread (well, and now here)? It should be put on the "About the Forge" page, I would think. I've been wondering how to get stuff into the Bookshelf (not that I have anything in pdf format yet, nonetheless actually published, but I am tres interested for when I do).
