Just wondering if someone can tell me how much does it costs to have a league hosted in a place like this:
http://www.bloodbowlleague.com/
(Wishful thinking that it's free...)
And since I'm at it, any idea of other places like that one?
Thanks,
A.

Hi Axt!
I use funnyfingers' hosting at mercuryvps.com. There's a direct link to our league site in my sig - I think it was $20-$25 for a year's hosting, with part of that going as a donation to the obblm creators. Its well supported and funnyfingers has done some cracking work in this area.
Otherwise, the obblm software is free if you host it yourself

My club has an OBBLM website - the domain name registration and webhosting come to under £30 a year as I recall. Well worth it.

Thanks the input guys!
That already helps to give us a general idea of how things are out there.

Our system is custom built by one of the members but I was paying crazy amounts for it due to the databases. Try 123-reg, it's what we use and they are a lot cheep than 1&1 the previous hosters we used.

If you're going down the OBBLM route, make sure you check the hosting requirements in the documentation. I went through a few hosting companies before I found one that properly supported it, despite assurances from salespeople.
