I don't even know who/what finances this host.

I agree it would be nice to have it on a bitcoin hosting. But that's up to the person paying for it to decide anyway.

I counted ten that could host bitcoin.org. I am most familiar with Kalyhost and highly recommend the services because I used it myself.

Yeah I suppose.
I like the idea of it though and it's pretty symbolic.

Maybe if someone sets a mirror up or something.

It seems like should be whenever reasonably possible. If it puts the site in serious risk of downtime it's not worth it though.
I wouldn't expect the marketing director of Pepsi to drink Coke.

Thanks, never knew there was a term for it haha.

Just to be clear: I do agree that is a very nice idea. I just don't think it's rational in terms of bitcoin promotion.

Whois for bitcoin.org says it is currently hosted on rackspace. Great solution would be of course to make some well known provider like this to accept bitcoins. It could be great promotion for them as bitcoin is becoming popular. But I used to be running a hosting company, and as bad as it sounds on this forum - I would not accept bitcoins. The reason is: police have been contacting me a few times, and their most reliable link to know who's behind some site is a payment that he made for hosting. So I would be afraid about this - if you cannot tell who's account is it on your server, maybe it was you that done this bad thing. Of course you take personal information from person that is buying account, and if it turns out to be fake, it's somebody's else crime to give you fake data not yours to accept it, you could also ask for some document scan for registration or whatever, I'm just saying that I think it's harder for such service providers to accept bitcoins than it is for let's say online stores..

Bitcoin.it is already hosted on Kalyhost. It's safer to have bitcoin.org on another host so that both sites won't go down in case of server failure or some other factor.
