<edit> i have chosen a host, thanks to all for your time </edit>
The following has little or no bearing on my decision but i'd still like to know:
Thanks for your time.
<edit> If you don't deal in US$, list the price in your original currency along with a conversion (by for example http://www.xe.com )</edit>
- Multiple (5 or more) Domains - 'real' domains, not redirects - support for .com and .us domains required
- subdomains (i guess 10 would do?)
- Monthly Transfer 10GB or more
- Space 500MB or more - Minimum, 1 or even 2GB would be appreciated (users/family will be encouraged - not required - to use pop3 instead of webmail)
- 15 or more POP3 email accounts - My port 25 is blocked so you need to provide an alternate (such as -for example- port 26) please specify "yes i have an alternate mail port open" or "no, i only have port 25 open"
- 1 or 2 MySQL Databases (or more) - MySQL 5 if possible
- FTP (at least one account) - SFTP is a bonus (but i hardly see that anywhere)
- PHP - PHP5 if possible
- cPanel - all domains are mine so i don't need (or want even) a seperate cPanel per domain
- 99.5% uptime minimum, 99.9% uptime appreciated
- english support - i don't ask for support often but on those rare occasions i'd like someone who understands it
- No setup fee. Absolute maximum monthly fee $15/month (that's US dollars). If you offer a discount for yearly/trimester/... please mention it. Don't bother with price/2years, it's too long for me (especially considering i don't know you). If your offer is temporary ($1 for first year after that it's $100) DO SAY SO, and be sure to clearly add the price i'll be paying after your introductory period.
The following has little or no bearing on my decision but i'd still like to know:
- does your server run SSH (and will i have access)
- where is your server located (city, [state,] country) - also, what timezone is that? (e.g. pacific is GMT -8, UK is GMT, Japan is GMT +9)
- what connection/backbone is your server connected to? (e.g. 512kbit ADSL, 10MBit dedicated, etc). MB = megabyte, mbit = megabit. There's a big difference.
- will your server run asp, cgi/perl, java, flash?
- does your email have forwarders, autoreply, catch-all? (And if autoreply, is it user-manageable or admin-only?)
Thanks for your time.
