I have the possibility of pursuing the founding of a Bitcoin company that would provide cheap, reliable dedicated server hosting. Prices are as follows:

DS-1:
CPU - Intel i5
Cores - 4 cores at 4 threads
Freq - 3.1GHz
RAM - 8GB
Disk - 2x 1TB SATA2
RAID - SOFT - 0/1
Connection - 100Mbps, 5TB traffic/month
Price - 0.95BTC/Month

DS-2:
CPU - Intel Xeon E3 - 1342v2
Cores - 4 cores at 8 threads
Freq - 3.4GHz
RAM - 32GB
Disk - 2x 120GB SSD
RAID - SOFT - 0/1
Connection - 100Mbps
Price - 1.7BTC/Month

DS-3:
CPU - Intel Xeon E5 - 1620
Cores - 4 cores at 8 threads
Freq - 3.6GHz
RAM - 64GB
Disk - 2x 2TB SATA3
RAID - SOFT - 0/1
Connection - 500Mbps
Price - 2.8BTC/Month


My only issues are:
1.) How to stop Bitcoin users from hosting illegal content and misusing the servers for illicit purposes? I do not want to suffer the legal responsibility and financial loss, for this purpose I will need to screen every user, I can either:
A) Limit every user to a minimum of a 3 month package, this way if he gets caught there is some financial loss on his side and hopefully that will discourage renewing the service under a different fake name etc.
B) Sacrifice the anonymity of every user and call every person up, have a chat, ask a bunch of questions, ask for a copy of government issued documents etc.

2.) Is there a big market for people looking to purchase servers with BTC? Would YOU purchase a server? Would you recommend us to a friend?

I would consider it - I'm already paying for my WordPress blogs with BTC.  My current web-host has been good, but it is a tad slow.  (See for yourself - http://www.levell.net).  I'm working on a new Bitcoin web-site that will need Apache, PHP, and MySQL.  If/when it takes off, I'll probably looking for a faster server than what I've got.

How much are you paying for the current one?

The prices are much, much better than any hosting providers that exists or will exist in the near future, I am still curious as to the reception of the public.
