[UPHPU] Hosting Plan's from Brandon

[Brandon Stout]

I've been meaning to send this email to the list for a few days.  
Justin's "How to do...?" thread pushed me into doing it now.  This email 
addresses two things:

  1. I can help host for less
  2. I'm looking for partners

Therefore, if you are looking for hosting options, or if you are looking 
to help me start a hosting service, read on.

I recently signed up to be a reseller with Verio.  Maybe it'll even 
replace my phone-call taking job with Verio if I find enough success 
with this.  I have no servers yet - first I want to find some partners - 
people who want to share the cost, the time, and the prophets.  I can 
get any server plan with Verio for less than the price listed on their 
site - not because I'm an employee taking advantage of things, but 
because I'm now a contracted third party reseller.  It costs less partly 
because I (and anyone who joins me) will offer tech support instead of 
Verio - and UPHPU members probably don't need as much support.

I can offer several hosting options, including (my first choices are the 
top 2):

FreeBSD VPS 3 - this has root access to a virtual machine, Apache 2.2, 
MySQL 5, PHP 5, and other up-to-date technologies.
Linux VPS - same as above, but with Red Hat Linux (or a close spin-off).
Signature shared hosting.
Automatic online PC drive backup.

Email me off list if you are interested, or send comments to the list 
with suggestions.
