[ajug-members] Open source content management systems?

[Angus Berry]

On the low end I've seen adverts for JSP/Servlet Hosting w/ a DB for
$9/month at http://www.webappcabaret.com/jdj.jsp ... it's a little more
for JBoss, but still reasonable.

Another option for hosting, is to co-lo you own server down at InFlow
(an AJUG sponsor) for ~$125/month and you can have as many sites as you
like if you can manage it yourself.
