I really appreciate this intention.  However, before you sent the
proposition I was checking some providers and their prices.  It's when
I found gnutransfer.com -- to my surprise I saw that they were offering
a free gnu/linux distribution, and I discovered they are from the same
Country (Argentina), these people has a colocation at cyberwurx.com
(and they are supporters of free software), I told them about Dragora, I
asked how much it could cost me what we need -- recently they wrote to
tell me that they could offer the VPS without cost, with the condition
of putting some banners in the page and to help them with suggestions.

I hope not to break future possibilities between Dragora and Ceata with
this decision.

I really want to thank you, I am indebted to you since you (people
of Ceata) came to Dragora performing Romanian translations, interviews,
and now this!
