Chosing a hosting server.

[Charles Hatvany]

Martin,

DNS should allow you to split the mail from the web by pointing the MX and the A records to different places.  Ditto for ftp, if that is set up with a different URL (such as ftp.xxxx.com).  So you could have 3 servers doing different services.  The database could be on any of the servers as long as you can mount the filesystem on the other two.

I'll let someone else answer the question about the tools - I would also be interested in that answer.

Hi.

I am planning setup of misc services for an Wireless ISP.
They want to host mail and websites of their users.
The server will run mail (imap, pop3), web and ftp services which will all authenticate users against the same sql database.
They want to have about 5000+ customers.
Each of the users will have granted 30 megs web space and about the same for their emails.
The problem is chosing a server that can handle all that. I could split the services between different servers but I am not aware of an application that can allow me to do so.
Any suggestions ?
As I said I would also need some sort of tool to be able to easly handle things like adding new users with custom email and web quota, ability to add new email addresses for one user, it should also be able to talk to a radius server which will authenticate connections with the same database as the mail server.
It does not have to be an open source application.
Any help appreciated.

Cheers, 
YazzY
