Does anyone know of a CDN that can provide secure file delivery for 100+ people? I'm looking for something that will allow me to send product download links to customers and have them only download the files once each. They mustn't be able to view or distribute the actual file location for their friends to download.
I'm looking for a pay as you go service with no sign up fee.
I know simpleCDN offers pay as you go, at a rate of $0.09 per GB with no sign up fee, but they only seem to offer http and https delivery at present, which is half way there, but it lacks the secure delivery.
I know Edgecast offers a 'secure token' system that allows download links to be sent out that can only be used once. However, they have a whopping $550 sign up fee, and then a whopping $550 per TB transferred. This has the secure delivery, but lacks the pricing my company can afford.
Does anyone know of any more CDNs that have this secure download link function?
The 'secure token' functionality of Edgecast is a good idea, but even a CDN that just allows you the standard function of creating multiple FTP accounts with different permissions will do to trick.
I am running a large scale business and some time I have to transfer large and very important data files to my business partner. I fear about my data because there are many of my business competitors who will definitely try to steal my important data. So there is huge amount of risk involved in sharing my important data on Internet. I recently heard about secure file transfer technique from my friend who is working in well established software company. Does anyone have any idea about what is Secure File Transfer (SFT) service and how does it work?
I don't know where to ask this question so hopefully I'm in the right forum. I have a friend that owns his own company and travels alot. He needs a place where he can store his work files (mostly document like word, excel, pdf, drawings, etc...) which contains very sensitive information. He need a place where he or the people in his team can transfer files and that he can setup access levels for his users. He need access to his files with a secure tool such as sftp or something else that you guys can recommend.
Also, since some files can be very large he requires a good transfer speed from everywhere in the world. He's looking at around 100GB of storage space and a very high transfer allowance. He will probably need to host his website also. Do you guys think it's better to host the files and website separately?

I recently checked some providers for Content Delivery Network and i wanted to ask WHT members for their feedback and experience about various providers.
We use them because we can offer good value for money to customers, yes you get what you pay for but they cant even deliver within their own estimates.
I contacted them on the 5th after 24 hours of waiting and a customer on my back, just enquiring where the server was.
I received the following reply from Shawn A:
I would expect delivery on this tomorrow afternoon...
We are closing this ticket out at this time.
If the issue is still not corrected, or you require further assistance with this matter, please re-open this ticket, and we will gladly assist you...
Fine, i will wait another 24 hours. Nothing!
It is now the 7th, the customer has decided to cancel the order and they have still not done ANYTHING.
I have sent them another reply to the ticket:
I had a customer cancel this server because it has take you so long What is going on wthat it takes you ages to set up a server that is probably sitting in a rack somewhere? Please dont take an age to reply and please let me know a setup time so i can at least offer another customer and instant server and not 36 hours to whenever-burstnet-gets-its-***-in-gear
I am still awaiting a reply.. although its useless now.
I know its already known on this forum but Caveat emptor!
We dove into this project blindly, and now it seems we won't be able to stream the video b/c of pricing issues. We have a 40mb flash video @ 500bps, our client gets 30,000 visits a month, ~1500/day. Now we need to find a provider that will host the video and not break our budget. I contacted Lime Light and they gave me a quote at $1200/month, which is too high!
I have a problem with hotmail that outgoing message not reached by hotmail only . all other mail is ok and spf recoed is pass . DomainKey-Status: good (test mode) the server with softlayer and i take new server at softlayer and still problem
i take new server from theplanet and i see the same problem!
all microsoft hotmail support responde is same : We have identified that messages from your IP xx.xx.xx.xx are being filtered based on the recommendations of the SmartScreen filter. SmartScreen is the spam filtering technology developed and operated by Microsoft. SmartScreen is built around the technology of machine learning. SmartScreen's filters are trained to recognize what is spam and what isn't spam. In short, we filter incoming emails that look like spam. I am not able to go into any specific details about what these filters specifically entail, as this would render them useless.
i make what all on postmaster.live.com but no way msg's are sent from ssh . webmail , outlook express and nobody all same
and if there datacenter can Availability a server sending to hotmail without problem add offers
We are a company for hosting and most of our customer's are confuse of that problem
I have two vps servers, one in the US (VPSLAND) and one in the UK (WebhostingUK). My customers download from these, i route the nearest one to my customer based on their ip address. It's like a cheap do-it-yourself content delivery network. My question is: if my customer is in South Africa which server should I send them to; the US server or the UK server?
I'm receiving over 25 000 emails all the time... Someone from italy spamming emails, spam is not being sent from mine server but they are spoofing mine site as the sending domain so it looks like its comming from me, getting the bounce notices all the time... it also load my cpus more than a bit.
we have a broadcast network for about 200 tvs and 1300 radio stations and looking for a datacenter to get cheap dedicated bandwidth and space for our servers.
* 1 to 4 gbit bw * 1 full secure cabinet * 20 amp power * c class ip * non tech help * 2 years contract * north america or europe
He.net, uberbandwidth and fdc are lowest rates as i have found on the net. what would you recommend? any reviews about those (and other) dcs?
I'm trying to send mails to yahoo and hotmail from my vps and the result was the mail ended up in Spam folder in yahoo and didn't receive any mails in hotmail. When I check the Full MEssage Header in yahoo, the sender was "Sender: Nobody <nobody@host.mydomain.com>" Do I have to set to a name or something ?
My rDNS and SPF was set up correctly, I think. domainkeys=neutral (no sig)
I think one of my domain is been misused to send SPAM, and last few days I am receiving many emails with the "Delivery Status Notification (Failure)" failure.
our company is ordering a new dedicated server and we are a little unsure what we should choose as far as the full hostname and nameservers of this one server.
This server will have a couple different websites on it, but really, there is only one BIG website on it... let's call it abcd.com.
While most would pick a hostname of host.abcd.com for instance, if at all possible, we would like the domain name part of the hostname to be something different than abcd.com. We own a domain name that doesn't point to anything yet (unuseddomain.com) and we were wondering if we could use that domain in our hostname.. host.unuseddomain.com.
And instead of using abcd.com as the domain name for our own nameservers (ie. ns1.abcd.com, ns2.abcd.com), we would like to again, use the unused domain name we own (unuseddomain.com) for the nameservers domain name: ns1.unuseddomain.com, ns2.unuseddomain.com.
So...
Will this work? Is this perfectly acceptable?
And lastly...
Since the one website we really care about on this server (the one we got the server for in the first place) is abcd.com, is using the unuseddomain.com for the hostname and nameservers (as above) a bad choice in anyway regarding email deliverability? I understand that mail ISP's (hotmail, yahoo, etc.) do all kinds of checks on hostnames (PTR), etc... and we want to make sure that we aren't hurting ourselves in anyway by using an "empty" domain name that we own as our hostname's and nameserver's domain name.
For instance, if we send mail from the abcd.com account, it will use mail.abcd.com (1.1.1.1) as it's outgoing mail server... Hotmail will see this... do a reverse-dns lookup on 1.1.1.1 and see host.unuseddomain.com. See what I'm saying? It all will work, but will it toss up red flags?
We carried out a major clean up on our server but when i send out mail i get this message:
"This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
xxxxmydomain@aol.com
The mail server could not deliver mail to xxxxmydomain@aol.com. The account or domain may not exist, they may be blacklisted, or missing the proper dns entries." -- Would anyone know what i need to change, to have this working, just checking,
