Hi, this seems like my similar circumstance.
I have a webhosting setup too like you.
Needed to move the list after 4 years to Majordomo unsupported.
After the switch, it was no big deal really,
if you know your Majordomo commands already.
When I did get stuck, it was on permissions & aliases,
and I hired a local UNIX guy $30 hr. to help the setup.
Took him 3 hours, and I've never had a problem since.
The rest I am learning daily.
It doesn't take much time after it's set up.
I would advise to get some Unix books too.

~Hello All,
~Brand new to this list. Please forgive if I commit a faux paux.
~I've been subscribed to a private list for some time now. Up till now it's
~been free.
~Now the owner is instituting a yearly charge. A bit steep I'm thinking but
~maybe not. It occurred to me that I might be able to offer the
~service for
~much less than they are planning to charge. Anybody got any feedback on
~costs involved in running a moderated private list? I do web
~hosting and my
~provider has Majordomo available although "unsupported". I also know that
~I can get the service provided that would suit my needs for about $30 per
~month elsewhere. The main "bug" seems to be administration
~cost/time. What
~kind of time is involved moderating a private list of say 1000 users with
~typical traffic of 40-50 messages per day?
~ Any comments welcome.
~
~Sincerely,
~Dana G. Bostick
