Hello
We would like to request hosting for our news based website www.escdaily.com which is updated several times a day with news articles through Wordpress. We are currently hosted with someone although they have today told us that they are switching off their servers at the end of the month and that we must seek a new host so we are in desperate need of a reliable host.
Who we are and what our site is about?
We are a website providing daily news about the Eurovision Song Contest and music from across europe. we appeal to a worldwide audience and have several editors posting news on a daily basis. Our site runs Wordpress as a CMS so having the ability to run this script is essential. We do not upload any audio or video clips, just wordpress and images (which are also resized and generated as thumbnails using a script called phpThumb)
What we need
We have our own domain www.escdaily.com
We need a host that will be easy to reach, our previous host had MSN which was beneficial to us as we could easily and quickly resolve any problems that we had
PHP is essential, we need this for Wordpress
We use a script called phpThumb to generate thumbnails, the cached images folder can fill up quite quickly, so we need a host with generous RAM to ensure that CPU isnt too high for the server.
A generous amount of Email accounts are required as our editors will all need one, so that they can individually contact people who can help us with our news.
We are very familiar with cPanel, mainly because its easy to see stats, bandwith usage and disk space. also because from it we can add email accounts should we need too.
A host with good uptime is essential, we really can't afford to lose visitors with downtime.
Bandwidth: 50GB +
We appeal to a worldwide audience and are most busy during the months of February - May when we receive the most visits so we are not going to lie, a lot of bandwidth is essential for us.
Disk Space: 5GB (+?)
Images are uploaded with every article and at the moment, 5GB is fine for us although within a year, we may need to upgrade to higher.
FTP
We need to have access to FTP so that we can easily update our theme files.
In return, as well as paying for the hosting you will be advertised on our website and a linkback to your hosting site will be added to the 'About Us' page.
Please list your host and prices for how much this would cost. we look forward to reading your replies.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
