Why? Do you need 600 email accounts? I would rather have space to upload my music. And more than either of those what you need is a large enough monthly traffic limit, or bandwidth limit.
There's another web hosting service, that I was looking at that offers unlimited space & unlimited bandwidth but I was kind of sceptical about it...
600 email accounts, I already have used up 80 email accounts as of today. Eventually this will be a multi-billion dollar label
I will eventually exceed that amount by far. There's 28 employees all together if you count the 5 person street team lol.
Each artist will have his/her own page. Then you got your about the company, home page, and then each artists' release page, which will show each album released, upcoming ones, and then on each album released, will show the details for those albums. Then I'll need a news section which I'll update myself regularly. Then there's the service page, and in that service page alone, will host regular clients, mastering, engineers, duplication, replication, marketing, recording quotes & times, etc. In reality, there will be possibly over 50 pages and more in the future of course... Which is not the main part I'm looking for. It's really the design & start up site that I'm interested. I would use the same format and add pages later on when I need to, either that or hire a local web developer to keep track of the site for me.
On the emails, I always send out notices, recording time booked, financial informations about the company's earnings, upcoming projects, etc to all the people who need to know.
When the site is done, I will also add a section starting off where I'll be able to sell rights to beats, film scores, written pieces, you know, all the ecommerce crap I'm going to have to add. I already have a merchants account. Reality is though, I'm not going to be expecting 200,000 viewers a day starting the site off. I can't really say how many will actually come onto the site. Most of the content will not exceed a 350gb limit per month anyways. I will most likely host only a handful of mp3's maybe max 20 mp3's, if any at all. Music will be available to purchaser's via Itunes, CD Baby, Target, Walmart, Fry's Electronic, Circuit City, Best Buy etc. Which will come very soon as I get a product ready worthy of being commercialized.
I do know how to "build" a website, but designing it for me is the difficult part. Mine would be too simple to charge $5 dollars to someone lol.
Of course, expansion will be necessary in the future. I figured $3.99/month is not bad, and upgrading it to 400gb space, 10,000gb transfer, 5,000 emails for $20-30 more isn't going to be bad either.
Eventually I'll probably have a part where anyone can upload their beats & sell it... Not to just anyone however, I'm talking about selling beats to people who are very well connected & are actually in the business making $$$$.
With +4 Productions doing business with Mindset, I'll be able to offer beats along with the package deal they have. IE, Package 1 includes Chamillionaire, Ludacris, Jadakiss, & Twista & beats for $80,000-$120,000.
All this being reasonable & doable of course.
