Hello,
Thanks for your detailed description of this project.
We are a US based company in Louisville KY - not so close to Phoenix, but I'm confident that all of your requests can be done remotely without any problem.
We have all of the experience you are looking for and can take responsibility for your IT systems to ensure they are reliable so you can focus on running your business. We run our own servers (in a local datacenter) and use CentOS, cPanel and many other Linux servers. We can ensure that your server is secure, fast, and reliable.
I've read your list of requirements, and I'm confident we can easily assist you with your email/SMTP issues, file scanning, security, SSL, etc., however, although we have solutions to these specific requests, we should know the bigger picture first. What is your overall goal, what are you trying to achieve, what problems are you trying to solve? To ensure we are the greatest benefit to the success of your business we should be involved in the planning stages to ensure that the most effective choices are being made. For example, what are the specifications of your VPS and how did you determine the requirements? Who is your VPS hosting provider? Are you planning to use cPanel as your primary mail server? etc.
If you are interested in considering us for this project I'd like to schedule a brief call so that you can give us a better understanding of your high-level goals so that we can be most effective in meeting them. Thanks, Daniel
