What about offering an Anti-Spam service for e-mail?
You buy in a couple of Anti-Spam/Virus devices such as MailFounry or Barracuda and offer them as part of existing packages or for an additional fee.
I currently have sites where I have to pay seperately for such a service and would be interested in a getting my email and hosting service from the same place.

2nd suggestion for the night :)
How about offering some basic server monitoring with each package. For example, users can specify one URL that will be monitored, possibly for a certain keyword (e.g. Error), and on failure the user is e-mailed/SMS'd.

So you mean like an external 3rd party spam filtering/mail redirection service? My only conern here would be that not enough users would be interested in purchasing something like this to offset the cost of installing it. The appliance would need to support many domains and addresses and be end-user manageable.

We are actually in the process of writing our own custom monitoring application that will monitor tcp, udp, http, icmp and snmp. Users will be able to purchase monitoring packages that include both preset scans and frequency. We will likely begin by monitoring from 1 benign off-site data center and as our application grows will implement scanning from multiple global locations.

We will begin offering a hosted Antispam/Antivirus solution later this week or next week. Please stay tuned for more details.
Thanks!
