I had something lined up, but unfortunately it fell through. I'm working on an open source friendster/myspace clone called Appleseed (more info at appleseed.sourceforge.net).

I want to set up a test site called appleseedproject.org but I can't afford hosting. Are there any resources for setting up a test site for open source web projects? I'm kind of at a point where local development has stalled and getting the software out in the wild could help out a lot.

Thanks!
