First draft

To whom it may concern:

Our Internet hosting cooperative HCoop, Inc. is looking to colocate some servers. Could you give us a price quote on a package that would include all of the following? We are a registered non-profit corporation, so we'd love to hear about any discounts that you extend to non-profits.

  • Hosting Hardware
    • 7-10U of rack space
    • /27 subnet of IPs
    • 500GB-1TB bandwidth/month
  • Remote services
    • Remote reboot capability or free remote hands to perform small tasks such as reboots or attaching cables
    • Reasonable rate for more significant hardware adjustments
    • 24/7 emergency service
    • Ability to ship servers to the datacenter and have them racked and cabled by staff

We're interested in owning the servers that we host, and we'd also like some kind of hardware support contract, where as part of the package you would fix/replace hardware that failed. We're open to the possibility of buying the hardware through you to make this more feasible. Also, we're flexible on many of the details of our plans, so suggestions based on what you've known to work well in your environment are much appreciated.

Thanks!
