We will be using Canada....

...Backups will be made every 2 hours.

2 Points of concern to look into further before you advertise them.

First off; I am Canadian and know for a fact that Canadian Bandwidth is EXPENSIVE. My servers currently reside in Planet#6 in Dallas, TX and have been that way for nearly a decade. Unmetered products in Canada are nearly NON-EXISTANT.

Second; Promising Backups every 2 hours may cause LOAD problems. It sounds great and looks good on paper, but it's something you have to evaluate on a PER-basis me thinks Wink

Not trying to be negative, just trying to help.

Understood about the Canadian bandwidth, it can be very costly (I live in Canada myself). I currently have a deal with a buddy who owns a datacenter here, it won't be unmetered for Canadian products. Our unmetered products will be leaning towards the off shore side more.

I didn't think of that, would you recommend every 12 hours?

My questions in order of importance:

What kind of connectivity/peering?
What VPS platform?
What OS template VMs suppported?
When?
How much?

1. I'm not familiar with what your asking? - Unless you mean our connection speeds?
2. We use Windows Virtual Server, and Virtuozza
3. Linux and Windows
4. We plan to get everything setup in about 4-5 days
5. Depends what plan, but cheaper then most companies.

Where is the datacenter(s) you plan to use located at? In the United States, Germany, etc?

And I guess the main question is, what would your hosting company bring to the table, why choose you?

There are a bazillion webhosts out there. You'll have some people come over just because you accept bitcoin, but for most businesses method of payment is not an issue. Are you going to have servers in countries that don't really care what's hosted? Super reliable servers that could survive a nuclear blast? Have bikini-clad ladies waiting at our beck and call? Grin

We will be using Canada, Malaysia, Germany, and the Netherlands for hosting. Your aloud to choose the country you want to host with, before you purchase

It's hard to be unique and different among others, the only things I can really say, that makes us stand out. Is our freedom of choice (how you have 4 great places to choose from), and I can guarantee that our support will be phenomenal. We won't be some shady company that is going to disappear after 2 weeks. You'll be able to contact us by phone, mail, email, live chat. Backups will be made every 2 hours, we have servers with a ton of space on them, just for backups. Caring out customers come first.

Is your hosting company already established? IE are you just going to add bitcoin as a payment option to existing plans, or is this going to be a company formed solely to serve the bitcoin community?

It will be just made for the Bitcoin community, we will have very affordable prices (as we aren't a reseller, and will be able to make our own prices). Our only payment plan will be Bitcoin.

Keep it real

I'm sure there are tons of people on here who would be interested. I may be one of them depending on the pricing.

Happy New Year!

I was wondering if the community would be interested in a web hosting company that accepts Bitcoin.

We will most likely be offering very high bandwidth, or even unmetered products for a very cheap price. 24/7 live help, and great customer support.

We would have VPS's, Dedicated Servers, etc.

Would the community be interested?
