[Tig] hosting question, with combinant participation

[Rob Lingelbach]

As some may know and some may not, the TIG experienced some outages  
last week due to the fires in Santa Barbara CA.

I am researching opportunities for the following:

1) uptime of almost 100%
2) bandwidth of greater measure than now *see below note1
3) backup of files and databases to be carried out at least weekly;
      can be adminstered by TIG admin (me) given enough net speed
      (no essential need for second backup host)
3.5) DNS history of at least 4 years for the particular domain under
      which the subdomains (to be named) will be hosted
4) a history and projection of reliability, in that the provenance  
(company)
      be one that will continue for the future
5) streaming: services to be offered for video streaming of colorist  
reels.
      this does not involve a great surge in bandwidth, but does  
require a
      certain initial shelving minimum and understanding.
5.5) CentOS or SunOS latest
6)  root/sudo access for the adminstrator (me)

The candidate for participation with the TIG would receive the  
following benefits:

1) co-sponsorship, to the level of a partner, in branding on the TIG
      Wiki, Forums, Calendars, Mailinglist.  All to be done in good  
taste
      as determined by the TIG admin.
2)  continuing association with the TIG, such that co-branding will  
bring
      up to 100 thousand hits per year.
3)  conforming to TIG policy, no advertant presence other than the co-
      sponsorship, and professional association that can be propagated  
by
      the usual and conventional TIG avenues.

*note1: to allow periodic (not heavy by any means) streaming of colorist
      reels

Please respond personally, this is something not for the TIG at  
large,  thank you very much.
