Hi all
This is actually an extension on an earlier posting of mine (http://drupal.org/node/33564) to which I got only VERY little response.
So, I guess I need to rephrase or ask the same question in a more market related way. So here goes .... :-)
We need to host our own international VPN with CMS which we are aiming to base on Drupal. Since I have been following the hosting issue for a long time now, I see that many people are crying for decent Drupal SPs, but are cringing at the cost thereof.
So, NOW is your chance to assist me in doing a decent marketing exercise to establish a good Drupal SP/host.
The question you need to answer is below, but first read through the following, do some maths (aaghh!!) and answer the simple question.
We will offer:
- Option A -
1. Unix based server
2. VPS (OK, for the not so technical - Virtual Private Server) which will allow you:
* root access to your own server
* A choice of PHP 4 or 5
* A choice of mySQL or postgreSQL database server
* Apache 1.3 or 2.x with access to your own config and .htaccess files allowing you multiple domain hosting
* FTP account
* phpMyAdmin
* ability to change php.ini variables
* Fantastico Installer for Drupal (UP TO DATE)
* multiple ssh shell access
* the ability to install your own pre-selected applications
3. 3+ gigs of space
4. unlimited, unshaped bandwidth
