I have a good friend that is in a sticky situation and has turned to
me for help. I'm not 100% sure of how to advise him so I figured I
would pose our question here.
He lives in Texas, in the USA. He is starting his own business, and a
bit sooner than he planned. He has a domain registered to him. He
needs to be able to set up email service asap, with an eye towards
eventually setting up a web site for the operation. I know GoDaddy
offers these types of services, but I'm not a big fan of GoDaddy.
Since I will probably be the system administrator for a while, I would
prefer a hosting service that offers a Linux OS, preferably Debian,
and PostgreSQL or MySQL, again preferably PostgreSQL.
May I trouble you good people for suggestions that meet these needs?
We would like to have at least one working email address by close of
business tomorrow (Friday, 1 November), or Monday at the latest.
If you want a virtual private server (VPS), I had a good experience with
a Linode:

They offer several OS's, including Debian 6 and 7.
