This is easily fixed if you use a cheap virtual hosting service in the US or wherever. Costs can be as little as $3/month.
As to your private VPN being disrupted by the GFW, just pick a technology that's used by most corporate VPNs, i.e., IPsec. That way you're bound to be safe as they won't be so stupid as to disrupt corporate traffic (and if they did I suspect things will be so desperate that it'd be time to get out of the country).
