Yeah, just about anything is.  We have our own (virtual) server,
currently running Ubuntu Dapper.  So far it's got an uptime of like 2
months, only having to reboot because it was moved.  Currently only I
have the passwords.

That could be done, though I'm tempted to think we should have the
current winehq server be the one with all the stuff other than the main
site (where most of the traffic is), and put the main site at
budgetdedicated.
