What software is used for this website, where is it hosted?

This site is running an open source CMS from Drupal.org. The theme is derived from the polder theme available from there, but hacked a little to try and improve the usability.

The logo was contributed by Marc Palumbo of Apogee Arts.

The domain registrations were donated by Matt Fanady.

The hosting is provided httpme.com. They're a little pricier than some, but their support is unmatched.
