5<p>Our service is built upon Debian GNU/Linux, Kerberos,
6OpenAFS, and our custom services manager <a
7href="http://wiki.hcoop.net/DomTool">Domtool</a>. Using
8Domtool, you can configure the behavior of your domains
9and sites in shared daemons without needing to request
10anything from a superuser. Since we provide a generic
11Debian GNU/Linux shell, you can write and run your own
12daemons in whatever programming language you fancy.</p>

32 storage. You can request more disk space as needed; we have
33 quotas in place to prevent over-subscription of storage and
34 strive to grant any reasonable requests so long as we have the
35 resources for it. As we add more storage, all members
