dotMac Renewal Coming Up

MacInTouch was pimping Amazon's sale on dotMac membership renewals. I'm not certain of the specific renewal date, but I should probably make a decision on whether to renew or not this month. There haven't been any amazing deals or upgrades to the dotMac system in a while, and it is looking less and less compelling all the time. I wonder what it would take to get adolphtrudeau.com (hosted at Vervehosting like chairjockey.com) set up into a reasonably easy to maintain dotMac-like space?
