I've been tasked to come up with some estimates with regard external hosting.
We are developing a large-scale CFMX survey, and we would probably need a farm of 2 or more dedicated app/web servers (clustered or using sticky sessions). Also, we would probably need replicated databases (MySQL, probably). We usually host our own sites, but we can't provide protection against extended power outages (we've got a couple hours worth of UPS, but no generators), and the new building we're moving into will not have ISP redundancy (not yet, anyway). I haven't dealt with an external host beyond personal and small business Web sites, so I'm not sure where to start, but I need a host with all the options: *(maybe user-managed and possibly user-configured) dedicated machines *high availailability *preferably local, so if we have user-configured, user managed machines, we could easily deliver them, etc. *etc., etc. I would need to discuss a lot with them to iron out the details. Does anyone have a host or contact they would recommend?
