Considering Windows Dedicated Hosting

[ceaser]

Hello HG,

The business I work for currently has two hosting accounts at two different hosting companies. One is with Yahoo for our main website, and our Yahoo Business Mail. The other is at Ablecommerce, where our catalog subdomain is located. Right now, it looks like we are going to need to leave Yahoo in the near future because they don't have mysql 5 or greater, which we would need for the software we want to use on our site. And with our catalog site, we have been experiencing slow page load times too often. For our needs, since we have a catalog and accept credit cards on it, we would need 2 servers to be PCI complaint. Would it be possible for Hostgator to meet these specs? And approx. cost (ballpark figures)? :

Server 1 ( Web / Email Server ):
Intel Xeon 3230
Windows 2008r2
IIS 7
Asp.net 3.5
php 5.3
SmarterBundle ( For the mail and Help Desk features )
4 ipv4 addresses
/64 ipv6 block
MySQL 5
___

Server 2 ( Database Server ):
Intel Xeon 3230
Windows 2008r2
MSSQL Server 2008 Web
McAfee Virus Scan
Private Network setup only.
Server Hardening
___

Hardware Firewall ? - ( would that need to be on both the web server and DB server, or just on of those, or can I get away with a software firewall like Windows Firewall? )

Also, does HG have a PCI scanning company that you use that we can have scan our site for compliance?

( Some of the features like ipv6 and McAfee are from Softlayer's website. I want HG's excellent support, which is why Im quoting this. )
