There is a high likelihood that the hosting I currently use for the quiz (Swansea University Computer Society) will no longer be available from around the end of this month. I'm most of the way through ensuring that all the existing images will be available via the Internet Archive. This is unlikely to work automatically, but if it isn't I'll give details on how to see them if it is needed.
and I now need to start looking into alternative hosting and recommendations would be appreciated. Absolute requirements are lots of disk space (each year uses about 8-10 GB), ssh access and hotlinking (i.e. being able to embed images on other sites). And it needs to be cheap - I currently get the hosting for free, I know that's not going to be realistic going forwards, but I don't have the budget to pay for much. I don't know how much bandwidth the quiz uses, but I don't think it's ridiculous amounts.

Alas, I cannot offer a solution, but we owe a huge thanks to Chris for running the quiz for many years. We should appreciate the hosting we have received from the Swansea University Computer Society. I do hope that a reasonably priced solution can be found.
