Hi,

I am looking to get a OVH SP-09 Mini, Windows 2003 Web Edition + Plesk 9.

It will multi-task as hosting for a few domains (14), Mail, DNS etc.

I also want to run MetaTrader Forex Trading Platform on it.

My question is around 2003 Web Edition, I know it only supports 2GB RAM, but are there any other major limitations?

Does this build have an IMAP E-Mail Server? (important!) if so which one?
Can it run MySQL Database OK?
Can it run MS DNS Server or BIND? (is this via Plesk?)
Can the HDD's be setup for RAID1 on this server?
Can it run a VPN Server? So XP/Vista/Win7 Clients can PPTP to it and proxy/browse from server?
Do you know of any Backup Software that can store on FTP (using FTP Storage space?)

Can OVH confirm if I take advantage of the "Business Test Drive" offer that there is NO Setup Charge after the 30 days, it is just a monthly rolling contract?

If anyone else has any insights, comments on this server or build please post

Or would I be better getting SP-09 BestOf and installing Windows 2008 64bit Web Edition and manually installing Plesk 9 and applying for free 30 Domain License through Manager?

Thanks
