  • Domain name
  • 10 GB/month data transfer
  • Email
    • 5 POP accounts
    • account aliasing
    • redirections
  • PHP 4.4 or later
  • IIS or Apache web server
  • mySQL or similar
  • mod_rewrite (Apache) or equivalent for IIS
  • SSL
  • Certificate for eCommerce
  • Backups
  • 500MB storage including database to start
  • 99.999% availability
  • 24/7 support

You are to list the following in a comment:

  • Cost for the domain from an Australian company
  • Cost for the domain from an overseas company
  • Hosting cost per month from Australian company
  • Hosting cost per month from an overseas company

We want to register the domain separately from the hosting company and redirect the domain to the hosting company once this is set-up and ready.
