    General contract of hosting?

    What sort of contract should I use? A gaming person I've known and
    briefly hosted prior to this is asking me for hosting, since he is getting
    fed up with his current host.

    Its a big messy issue, but basically former customer setup his own
    hosting. I knew him via the person I am now talking to bout giving hosting.

    Current person ditched me, went with him. Is now doing a small
    job to get cash, needs better host (other guy SUCKX, so slow of load!!).

    However, I want to lock him in for @least 6/mo of payment, and
    a good small fee for the domain (setting up, managing, etc.).

    I want to make sure that if he leaves me before his time is up, I'm going to
    get a good chunk of cash for it. How should I contract his domain?

    I want to make it so he can keep it for "little to no" fees, naturally stating
    if he gets it, it will be viewed as him breaking the hosting contract and
    moving to a new host, and then I'd collect fees for breaking the hosting contract.

    That sounds alot like the cell phone companies. Just look at a standard cell phone contract, and replace the length of contract and fees, and wiress by "hosting" and it should be good. Obviously I'm generalising, but close enough in principle and wording

      Thanks, ended up taking a handful of free business samples/templates
      I found while googling and combined 'em into one.
