Looking for trusted, established hosting partner for open source project.

    Hey everyone,

    Our firm has a fairly new open source project (think wordpress.org, but we're making a social arcade platform) which we have just released our fourth update. We're about to begin a major phase of marketing which should bring in around 400 new publishers.

    All of these new users will need hosting. Right now, we are not partnered with any hosts. We've had a lot of offers, but we'd like to go with someone established. We're actually already getting a lot of requests for hosting and we're sending our customers to hosts that we do not have a relationship with. We'd like to change that.

    Basically, what we'd like to set up are three hosting partners to go on our 'hosting page' where our customers can find hosting solutions for their new free software they just downloaded. These three slots will have different prices... high, medium, low. The highest price hosting slot will be on top, followed by the medium, then the low.

    Here's the hosting requirements that these new customers will need:

    - php 5
    - mysql 4.1+
    - 2-15 gigs of storage (they will actually use at least 2 gigs of storage!)
    - simplexml_load_file() needs to be able to load external files. I think all this requires is fsock to be enabled.
    - free install of our software will be really attractive to many of our customers (its easy!)

    I'm not sure what 400 new customers (with many more on the way!) is worth, but we're open to offers. Keep in mind that we're only going to offer three slots and we're looking for monthly commitments via paypal subscription to help with our development costs.

    And we're looking for long term solutions. We're hoping to send these three hosts a ton of new customers, and sustainability is key.

    Anyone interested can feel free to send me a PM, or feel free to post any recommendations if you know of any hosts that would be interested.

    Thanks!
    -Ryan

    We're not actually looking for hosting for ourselves, its for our customers that use our script. They need hosting, not us :)

    You may want to repost your request in another section? There web hosts will be allowed to recommend you their services.
