1AND1 Party!
I guess they have a system in place so that they will automatically be directed calls if the "rep" is not busy and my call got directed to a desk with no operator and I heard them having a party in the background. How completely professional!
Also, their telephone system is completely broken and you'll always get a pissed off sales rep in the middle of the day because they will automatically be directed calls because their hold system is broken.

3rd Party Security Services
I have security concerns with my current hosting of eCommerce sites. The hosts responses to my specific concerns are vague and unsatisfactory. Even when anomalies are pointed out, ( i.e A traffic domain was suddenly pointing to an IP on a server in another country) they return answers like, "Yes, there was a problem, but its all fine now." I have considered moving to a new host, however, for price reasons, I like my current host. This has caused me to consider having the security of my server checked and perhaps managed by a third party. I have no experience with choosing such a service, and research so far has raised more concerns than answers as to how and what may happen by requesting the use of such a service, the reputability of said service providers, and the costs of implementing the recommendations etc. My main concern is to do with Mysql database manipulation and DNS manipulation within the network. However, a general server vulnerability assessment would be assumed beneficial.

3rd Party Email On Vps
if you use a 3rd party for email provision (eg everyone.net) and you alter cname and mx to point to everyone.net do you - need spamassasin on the VPS ? - turn off email services on the VPS and therefore save ram and cpu power? - still have the ability to generate email via scripts and send from the server?

Cpanel, MX Records, 3rd Party DNS
I use a third-party DNS host for a domain hosted on a shared server with cpanel. The A record point to that server so that the website on it is shown, and for e-mail, it uses a different server. How does the domain have to configured on the cpanel server, the one that hosts the website, so that e-mail originating from within it go to the external mail server? And a related question - after the necessary changes are done, can the cpanel server still send e-mail with that domain name (say, if a script attempts to send an a message)?

Hosted Third-party Spam Filtering For CPanel
Can anyone recommend a hosted third-party spam filtering service for cPanel servers? Most of the servers are reseller based, and I don't see myself or my team having to enter each individual email address into the service. With that said, is there any service where you can just point the MX records to it, it would scan the email, and then deliver it?

3rd Party Spam Solution Recommendations
I have been running my own spam protection on a dedicated server for a few years now. On the whole I probably catch 95% of spam. Having just built a new server to replace my old one I'm keep to re-evaluate how I filter spam. I am particularly interested in 3rd party filtering via MX records (why bother using my resources when I can pay someone a small amount to do a much better job than me?). Can you recommend any providers? I have used Postini in the past and like them but I can't find many resellers (I've seen a few references to $1 accounts on WHT..?) I need a solution for approx 10 domains and 4 actual mailboxes (with quite a few aliases across all domains per mailbox).

Same Domain Use 2 Different 3rd Party Managed DNS Services
Anybody using 2 different 3rd party Managed DNS services like dnsmadeeasy.com and ultradns.com on same domain name ? Reason for doing it is because we are having resolving issues also the domain name is ".in" not ".com/net/org". Now we have added nameservers of both the providers in the domain registrar control panel. Total it has 8 name servers now. I copy pasted exactly same A records & Mx record and same ttl. Q1) The NS records on both the dns services are Different. Should i add the 1st dns providers 4 nameservers in the 2nd dns providers panel and viceversa? Q2) will this setup work anybody done it before .. does create problems?

3rd Party Management Vs Managed Hosting From Host
I'm finally ready to move from a shared environment to a dedicated server. I don't know anything about server set up and management. Therefore I'm looking for a managed solution. Reading through this great forum I found out that I can either go with a fully managed solution by the hosting company or go with an self-managed host and hire a third party administrator. This will be my first dedicated server project. I would like to keep monthly cost below $400. Not necessarily looking for the cheapest deal out there, but rather for good service and stable performance. I have heard good things about the Planet and liquidweb here on this forum. If I can find a reliable 3rd party management company I might be able to look into softlayer and/limestone. I'm trying to decide whether I should go with inhouse management or 3rd party management.

3rd Party Mailserver Rejects Incoming Mail
We switched to a 3rd party mail server provided by our local ISP, however when attempts are made to mail anyone on our domain a message similar to one of the following is received: Quote: This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: my_email_address@our_domain Technical details of permanent failure: PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 13): 550 5.7.1 <my_email_address@our_domain>... Relaying denied or Quote: Hi. This is the qmail-send program. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. <my_email_address@our_domain>: 70.43.63.21 does not like recipient. Remote host said: 550 5.7.1 <my_email_address@our_domain>... Relaying denied Giving up on 70.43.63.21. I've made sure the MX records are in place on our nameserver, and I've verified this with DNS Stuff. I seem to think the problem is on our ISP's end.

Send Mail From Web Form Using 3rd Party SMTP
I have a CDONTS script which has been sending mail from a client's website form to their address. However, the script has suddenly stopped working. It doesn't error, they just don't receive the mail. I've tried CCing myself in the script and the mail is not getting through. The script itself is tried and tested and syntaxially correct. I think the problem is because they're using their own exchange server, not the web hosts' mail server. Therefore I would expect that mail sent from the web script wouldn't go through because there is no local mail server to process it. The problem is that the script hasn't changed, the host say their system hasn't changed, and the client's IT team say their exchange settings haven't changed! I could set up a CDOSYS script to use their Exchange server to deal with the email, but their IT support won't allow relaying, so I don't think this is possible. Is connecting to their Exchange box the only option, or should the website host still be able to process the web-script-generated mail despite not being their mail provider? I'm getting a lot of grief here, but it can't be the script that has suddenly broken because nobody has touched it!

Can I Point MX Record For Third-party Domain To Yahoo Small Biz Mail?
My client has a domain registered at GoDaddy and a Yahoo Small Business email package. The only info I can find on Yahoo suggests I need to redelegate the domain's name servers to Yahoo, and I'd rather not do this if I can help it. Is it possible to simply leave the name servers at GoDaddy and point the MX record to Yahoo's servers? I don't see anything on Yahoo saying it won't work, but then I see nothing to suggest it will either!

1and1 Getting Better
1and1 has always getting a lot of fudge here on WHT and a lot of times they deserve it. In the past their support has totally sucked. However, I have noticed lately that their support is actually improving A LOT!! I've been getting responses within a few hours and that is really good considering it would take days before. Also, in the past their responses were just generic and non-helpful but lately they have actually provided personal help and attention and fixed all the issues I've had. I know this should be expected from a registrar/webhost but I have to say I'm quite impressed. They are after all a really budget company. Btw, I use them for all my domain registrations and also have a small hosting package with them for my static small sites. I'm not brave enough to put my more busy sites there yet.

Changing From 1and1
I have been with this hosting company for almost five years now and until today the service has been excellent. I am having massive ftp issues. I have 41 different domains that I run for a variety of projects. Needless to say I keep each website in a different folder. I just tried to switch one of my blogs from blogger to wordpress. Blogger won't let me have my domain back and keeps blocking it with a 404 error. But that is a separate issue. I tried using one of my extra domains and pointing it at my new blog folder. But it keeps bouncing back to my root directory. I contacted 1and1 and they reset the server, but now they are blaming me for the issue. I can access the blog through it's subdirectory but I can't post the blog there. Anyways, I am not ready to move over all of my websites, but I do want to move my blog to a new host. I am mainly hoping that I can escape 1and1 and blogger in one move if I change the host of this one website. It's funny I have been happy for years and recommended them to friends, but now I am very disappointed. Can someone recomend a reliable host? I am looking for one with a cheap lowend package to start off. If I end up staying I will need a lot of bandwidth as I have a podcast that had a lot of traffic. Basically, there are so many companies that I just can't tell which ones are reliable. That's my main concern. Also I use SQL a lot. Thanks!

Is A 1and1 VPS Right For Me?
Well, my current hosting at streamline.net is expiring in a couple of months and I don't want to stay with them for a minute longer. I have about 5 domains that I require hosting for, and another few which will be aliases to these domains. I had a look at fasthosts.co.uk and would need a separate hosting package for each domain. I then looked at 1and1's virtual private servers. These hopefully fit the bill as it is quite cheap at £15/pm. http://order.1and1.co.uk/xml/order/VpsRoot I was wondering if this fits my needs. Would I be able to host several websites here? Or just one domain? Also, they say that I have root access, will I be able to do just about anything on there then? E.g. install imagemagick, edit php.ini, enable wildcard DNS and use mod_rewrite for subdomains... etc. Given that I have root access to the VPS, how can it be that they say the max number of email accounts is 150, what else is restricted? I'm a bit confused as to what sort of abilities a VPS will give me. 1and1's site doesn't explain what I could use it for as well as I would like.

1and1 Review!
I bought a 1and1 VPS. It was a good quality server, I don't think it was setup right. I called their tech support multiple times about my servers issues. Such as it freezing and i can't restart it. Then the tech support said he would tell their computer department, and 13 hours later, my server is still frozen and I cannot log on. I would not and do not recommend 1and1 to anyone. It was a very bad exerience and I will always stay away from them. Sorry 1and1 but your service isn't all that great.

1and1 Vs. Liquidweb And Others
I have about 30 websites under my belt right now with ixwebhosting.com. I have 1 account but nearly 30 sites linked to that account - yes yes, means it is VERY slow because a) it's on a shared server, and b) there are literally thousands of sites on my server (did a reverse Ip lookup) I've just recently started a new forum which has taken off, to the point where the database cannot be pulled up half the time because soo many people are on the server. This is NOT good. I'm missing out on revenue that could be gained, and since I'm advertising/marketing this site, it sucks even more! So my question is - I'm goin to move all of my websites to a dedicated server. I thought about a VPS, but for $30 more monthly I can have a dedicated with a gig of memory, yadda yadda yadda... Should I use 1and1.com? They are $99.99/monthly, or should I use someone else? Who else can compete at that price? I get everything I need with 1and1, including enough hard drive space, enough ram (for now), control panel, etc... I'm a n00b in the dedicated server world, so help would be great. I plan to purchase a dedicated server within the next few days, and so far 1and1 has been my best bet when it comes down to money.

1and1 For Use As A Hotlink Host?
Does anyone have experiences with using 1and1 shared servers as a hotlink host? I see they have a $4.99 plan that includes 120GB diskspace and 1200GB bandwidth. To rehash my other thread (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=766602), I'm looking for a separate hosting account to store/hotlink some FLV files that will be used by my client's websites on other servers. For those of you with experience with 1and1: How much bandwidth/diskspace did you use? Did your account ever get suspended for resource/bandwidth usage? If so, how much were you using of what you were supposedly promised? What was the performance of their shared servers? Did you ever have a problem with downloads timing-out? Look, I'm under no illusion that any company is going to let me use $100 worth of bandwidth for only $5 a month, but I'm not looking to use the whole 1200GB. At most, I could see myself using less than half (~500GB) of what is offered in their package. So from those with the experience, what is the verdict on using 1and1 in this manner?

Leaving 1and1 Need Suggestions
My employer has decided to let me move thier sites to a new hosting company. I can finally get rid of 1and1. I have just over 50 domains with about 25 that had sites. I was paying $30 a month for hosting on a shared Linux server for these sites. The sites are small and can be put on another shared plan. One thing I do need is PHP to MS SQL. 1and1 did not support MS SQL from PHP. I also would like to pay no more than what I was paying. The only good thing I can say is that I have had 100% uptime with 1and1.

DNS Conundrum With 1and1.com
This is the problem I'm facing: I have a domain registered with 1and1.com (klenwell.com). I have a VPS running Linux with a different host. I have configured bind to run as my nameserver for the domains ns1.klenwell.com and ns2.klenwell.com. (I have run dig to verify the bind is configured properly.) The problem: when I try to change the primary and secondary name servers for klenwell.com at 1and1.com using the form provided by the 1and1 control panel, I get the following error message: The name server is not sufficient or hasn't been approved.Subdomains of the original domainname as name servers for the original domainname need a fixed IP! Please refer to the FAQ (keyword: Glue domain)! So I enter the IP address and I get the following error message: The name server is not sufficient or hasn't been approved. So I called 1and1.com support hoping they could fix this. But it appeared that the young woman who took my call was unable to comprehend the problem (she kept referring to Plesk -- which had nothing to do with the issue here). I was prepared for this and hoping to get passed up to someone who knew what she was doing. But before that could happen, after going around in circles with Level 1 support for about 10 minutes, I mysteriously got disconnected! (I guess I had used up my time quota.) Am I SOL here? It seems like a chicken-and-egg problem. I can't change the DNS settings until 1and1 is able verify that my nameserver domains are valid. But they won't be valid until 1and1 changes them. And 1and1 support seems totally incapable of providing any help. I know I could use a free third-party service, but I wanted to have some practice running my own nameserver. Also I want to be able to add subdomains myself. (Right now, I have to manually add them through 1and1.com and am limited to 5.) Any help is appreciated. Otherwise, I'll just use this as an opportunity to vent my frustration at 1and1.com's support. <sigh>
