Currently, the server hosting Linuxaudio.org has been arranged by Daniel 
James, so my guess is that it is hosted somewhere in UK, other info is unknown 
to me (ironically the site is currently inaccessible for whatever reason). 
Daniel?

That being said, in my department (Virginia Tech) I've got an ok to offer 
hosting for LA purposes which would mean direct physical access to the 
mainframe, virtually unlimited data storage (I am not sure how much we have 
right now but we should have probably close to 1TB and there is plenty of 
empty slots left on the mainframe for more disks to be added), and most 
importantly unlimited bandwidth (although the actual outgoing line is limited 
to 100MBit from the node where the mainframe is, but the actual monthly 
bandwidth is unlimited). Finally, all data is backed-up weekly with one backup 
always being off-site in the case server melts down, dissapears, decides to 
grow legs and walk away, or whatever.

Hope this helps!

Best wishes,
