I recently checked some providers for Content Delivery Network and i wanted to ask WHT members for their feedback and experience about various providers.
Things that matter.
Availability of network at different locations
Reliability of provider
Quality of bandwidth
Cost of Bandwidth
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!

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 thinking of a seamless integration for clients using cpanel to utilise a CDN service via the control panel.
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.

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?
Who has competive prices for content delivery networks? I did a search and couldnt find what i am looking for
For a project looking to do massive amounts of BW Just looking for a couple of names to start looking.
I recently read someone's blog post about surviving the front page of Digg on a budget. One tip involved using the Coral Content Distribution Network (AKA Coral Cache). The author provided .htaccess snippets for re-directing your traffic through this service.
Has anyone on these forums had experience using Coral Cache as an emergency availability measure? How did it work? Any drawbacks to report? A search turned up a few threads that mentioned Coral Cache, but none that specifically covered pros and cons.
any experiences to report about purchasing used / refurb gear from either Network Liquidators (nweq.com) or Network Hardware (networkhardware.com)?

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 bought Gigenet.com server.
How long after the server opens
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!
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)

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'm facing with spambox. i'm running whm 11.2 on centos. It used to work fine but after my step up to whm/cpanel 11 it hasn't been working.
emails go right through to the mailboxes.
i've enabled spambox, enabled it for the domain, tried updating to latest cpanel/whm, rebuilt exim. nothing works.
2 question about email queue manage under WHM (exim mta)
1. how is possible do manage time that email with error delivery must stay in to queue ?
I have more massage for 3 or 4 day in queue.
Is possible to setting this for stay less time into queue?
2. If queue is set to run any 10 minutes this mean that when queue run try to sending also old delayed error (3/4 days) any 10 minutes?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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)
Im using php mail() to send out the mails.
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.
Is there any way to check or stop this misuse?
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?
how to disable the "Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender" e-mails from being sent in Exim, and whether it's a good idea?

Would anyone know what i need to change, to have this working, just checking,
I am running CentOS 5.10 (Final) with Plesk 11.5.30 Update #44 and since a few days have the strangest problem with incoming emails from certain hosts.
The email from known senders produces a relaylock message like:
/var/qmail/bin/relaylock [12345]: mail from 80.80.80.80:59595 (mail.hostname.com)
From what I was able to gather this is regular behaviour with plesk and qmail, indicating that the senders' mailserver has made contact.
Then nothing happens. For hours. 7-10 to be exact. Then the mail is being processed and delivered.
When i send any email with attachment, that fails. I was given a failure delivery with attachment size. It use my bandwidth.
