Question VPS Hosting doubts

Hi,

I am Vinod, on behalf of Silicon IT Solutions Pvt.Ltd. We are planning to host 3 portals in a virtual private server. We are interested in your Linux VPS Hosting starter plan as a start. In future we will shift it to a dedicated server. Following are our requirements :

CentOS 5
Sendmail
Dovecot
Apache 2.2.6
MySQL 4 / 5
PHP 5.2.3 with MySQL, Mcrypt, IMAP, XML support
FTP, SCP support
Other software installation using yum

And I have few questions :

Is startup plan meet our requirements ?
Do you install OS and above said application as the part of setup ?
If not, which applications do you install as default ?
Can we host a couple of sites using virtual hosts ?
We have registered our domains with other companies. How will we resolve our domain names ?

Please let me know the details as soon as possible as we have to take the decision quickly.

Ans. Yes, our vps hosting plans meet your requirements. However, for security reasons, we do not enable Dovecot with our VPS. However, if you need Doevecot, you will have to look at our dedicated server plans.

5) We have registered our domains with other companies. How will we resolve our domain names ?

Hi,

First of all, we appreciate your quick and detailed reply. Let me explain why we need dovecot. We are planning to give mail services to our portal users. For example, assume abc.com and pqr.com are the portals. We want to create mail users for each portal like 123@abc.com, 456@abc.com. And we should be abble to retrieve mails using IMAP through PHP. Is there any other way to retrieve mails from the server without using dovcot ?

Anyway in future we will go for dedicated server. But we want to test all functionalities of our portal in VPS before going for dedicated server.

One more question. Do you provide domain registration services ? If yes, please quote your anual rate for .com and .in.

We are looking forward a long term relationship with you.

Please reply as soon as possible.

Vinod.

Hello Vinod,

Thanks for replying. In respect to your queries, perhaps, you can create email accounts through cPanel (web-based interface control panel) and provide it to your clients. We also support IMAP through PHP on our VPS.

Also, in regards with your other query, the registration for .com domain is $15.00 per year and for .in domain is $49.00 per year.

If you have any further queries, please let us know.

Regards
John R.
