So I've taken some 360 degree photos and I'd like to host them somewhere on the internet.
I've found a couple of places but I can't get them to work (they're a bit clunky): http://pan0.net/ & http://you3dview.com/
Have I missed something? I thought this would be quite popular and there would be a site like Flickr or Vimeo hosting them.

I have my heart set on an .is domain which spells out the name of my Australian website, but I'm restricted to using web hosts registered with the
ISNIC (administers the .is gTLD), which means hosting from Iceland/Europe. Should I give up on it? (If not, can you recommend a host?)

We've had 4 high-end dedicated servers with a hosting company for almost 2 years. Since then, technology has marched on and the servers they are offering new customers are much higher spec than ours - for the same price. Is it reasonable to expect them to upgrade our servers for free to bring them into line with their current offerings?
