Re: OT: Reliable Email/Web hosting service - recommendations?

[jgw%sdf.org@localhost]

I think sdf.org has some of what the OP was looking for.  The main SDF cluster
is NetBSD-based and NetBSD is available as a VM image.  Many of the memberships
are tiered; at a minimum you'd need ARPA (one-time $36).  I think the VHOST
membership combines most of what was asked for:

# % vhost
# 
#  All benefits of these supplemental memberships:
#  DNS - Domain Name Server                                      (mkvhost)
#  VPM - Virtual Pop3 Mail for your domain                         (mkvpm)
#  DBA - 100MB MySQL database (not in 'basic')                  (startsql)
#  Exclusive log file with archive           (norge:/var/log/httpd/vhosts)
#  Exclusive statistic reports               (http://freeshell.org/vhosts)
#  FREE domain registration with annual membership
# 
#  Monthly Dues        Daily Quota            Comments
#       $5.00          100MB                  Basic membership
#       $10.00         250MB                   
#       $14.00         500MB                  Standard membership
#       $20.00        1000MB                  Maximum quota 
# 
#   LAND                       INTERNET (donations of $3.00 or more)

The VMs appear to need MetaARPA ($36/yr) + VPS (varies; see http://sdf.org/?vps 
).

There is currently SDF servers in the US (sdf.org) and DE (sdf-eu.org).

You can peruse the FAQ and other info at sdf.org, and/or try irc.sdf.org

Good luck w/ your move!
