Hi Luc,

Yes, I am aware of that, that is no problem.

We are building a full-scale Linux hosting platform based on a CentOS 4.0 
distribution (excellent, I am delighted with it), PHP running as CGI (so 
php.ini per vhost is possible), with all stuff (Freetype 2, Imagemagick 
etc.) needed for full TYPO3 operating. I am also mograting our existent 
TYPO3 sites to that server so installation will be fully tested and without 
any problems. Default PHP memory limit for TYPO3 installs will default to 32 
MB with the possibility of upping the limit per need per installation.

Yes, it is planned as an extra costing little bit more, one-time. Little 
bit. So basically website users could choose a preinstalled TYPO3 (not 
through Fantastico but manually with proper file and folder permissions) 
into which they would only need to install extensions and fill the content 
in as they wish, or choose to install TYPO themselves.

Yes, we take great attention to stability and security and we are building 
our server slowly but properly. Backups are executed daily of full user 
accounts, websites and databases. Backup server is waiting for the main one 
to be fully finished and ready.

We are directly controlling the server, both us in Europe (European time) 
and USA (USA Chicago area time) with the additional 24/7 datacenter support. 
So support tickets are going to be responded to very briefly.

Guys, any other things which would be important / desireable?
