I don't know about the hosting, but domains are dirt-cheap. Also, it might be 
best to wait until the next Gnash release either way.

I'm not "the main guy", heck I haven't contributed anything, but I think that 
everyone else will probably agree that doing that with the Gnash site would 
be hypocritical at best.

I am too, but hosting an open-source flash player on a closed-source 
ad-supported site would probably give a poor impression at best.
