I am a hosting provider and I can give you what you need:
cpanel, ftp, imap,pop (s and non-s)
100000 domains, 100 subdomains each
1TB storage
unlimited traffic (no mp3, wav, multimedia, warez sites however....)
databases as many as you need per domain
1000 email addresses per subdomain (primary domain counts as one subdomain)
All parameters can be adjusted as you need it.
The bid is for $250 setup (I need to set things up, reserve/prepare HW, etc., it's all just typing, but resources need to be allocated for you).
The hosting cost is
$55/month hosting
#5/month per static IP
You need to pay three months in advance, we can work out discounts if you pay for a year or so, which you might want to do.
I host with a computer center in Dallas, big professional installation, all racks, multi stage UPS (battery, generators), redundant Internet access, etc.
Tell me if that would work for you.
Three days means three days after your $250 setup payment has cleared.
Hosting starts the moment your hosting payment has cleared.
It is all yours, you manage all aspects of the servers through cpanels.
If you would like to run your own dedicated servers, well, if you like pain, we can do that too.
The pricing here is for shared servers with a maximum of 15 customers on them.
It can at any time be shifted to dedicated servers.
Your choice of managing the servers yourself on OS level, or through cpanel.
I'd really suggest you do the cpanel /self service way...... why bother.
Oh, yes: backups, logs, etc is of course all there and you can do whatever you want, ftp logs/backups down daily or whatever.
