Creating A Real Mail Using A Domain Name
i have just asked about it a local hosting copany and they show unable to understand what i was asking in the beginning and to give me a proper reply when they finally did.
What i want is to create several mail accounts using my domain names (several mail accounts for each domain name using it)
The usual answer is to use mail forwarding that every registrar offer for free when you register a domain name with them.
So you get a
free mail account
amail@gmail.com
domain name
adomain.com
and you create a forwarding such as
amail@adomain.com to amail@gmail.com
then you give amail@adomain.com so they can write to you using that fake mail, the message will bounce in your registrar and will send it to amail@gmail.com
but what if i want a real amail@adomain.com mail because i want to write replies from that address.
With mail forwarding as long as i know you can receive mail using the fake mail forwarding address but as mail is not a real one you then are forced to reply from the real account behing the forwarding one amail@gmail.com
Can i do that, is that a service included in hosting plans or somewhere. Or am i wrong and its simpler than that.

How To Use A Large Mail Box In Real Life
I see that with 99% of hosting companies you can create your gibibyte email account (or even bigger). I have, but at one point when you have hundreds of emails, your email client gets really really slow if you use IMAP. Also, the search feature doesn't work very well, you search something that you know should return results but you get no results... If you use POP, you don't have these problems, but you can't access your mails from any computer, as you download them onto your local computer (and your mailbox is empty 99% of time). In the end, Gmail, which is free, works better than a paid mailbox from a web hosting company because your inbox pops up instantly, when you search something, you get the search results in half a second. And you can use several gigs easily, it makes no difference. How can I use a gibibyte mailbox with thousands of mails, lots of attachments, with a fast/efficient search feature, and have it working as fast as Gmail? Is IMAP flawed?

Creating You Own Mail Server
When an account is created in WHM, it is given an MX record of : domain.com. 14400 MX 0 domain.com. However sometimes people have their own MX records, that can be added easily in WHM. Is it something that is simple to set up your own mail server, so that you could offer it potential clients? Is this something that can be done in WHM/cPanel?

Addressing My Real Domain To Wamp
I have purchased a domain, and installed WAMP on my local computer. Now, I want to attach the domain name to WAMP such that when I entered my designed site on WAMP on my computer, I'll see my own domain instead of C://localhost/.../... I have been told that the company that owns my domain should address its DNS to my own DNS?

Does Mod_cache Use Real Disk Space Or Real Memory To Locate "cache"?
does mod_cache use real disk space or real memory to locate "cache"? I mean if i use mod_cache, does my vps/server will use more disk space/memory?

Aliasing, Or "what's The Real Domain Name?"
We've been working on aliasing issues over at our "sitetruth.com", which rates sites based on the business behind them. One key issue for us is finding the "real domain" of a web site. Is it "example.com", "www.example.com", or something like "us.example.com"? Google has punted on this; they now expect webmasters to go to the "Google control panel" and designate the "real domain". We wanted something automatic. Here's what we're currently doing: First, we get the "base domain" from the requested domain name. This is what you buy from a registrar. "example.com" and "example.co.uk" are base domain names. We try to read a web page from the base domain. If that doesn't work, we put "www." in front of that, like a browser does. If that doesn't work, we try whatever domain name (not full URL) the user or search engine gave us as a starting point. Once we can read a page, we check for redirects. If "example.com" redirects to "www.example.com", we'll treat "www.example.com" as the actual domain. Such redirects have to be within the same base domain; we don't follow inter-domain redirects, because they might be from a third party. This gives us the "real domain". We then read any SSL certificate associated with that domain, and look through the site content for the name and address of the business. The object of all this is to get a business name and address, so we can start checking business records (licensing, credit, directory, etc.) Domains like "foo.example.com" are treated as subdomains of "example.com", and share its rating. We have a mechanism for manually specifying that a subdomain needs to be treated as a separate domain, which we use on "redirector subdomains", like "r.aol.com" and "rds.yahoo.com". Redirector scripts are often exploited by phishing sites, so they can put your web site into PhishTank. We notice that and blacklist. (Unless you have an extremely good reason, don't put an "open redirector", a script that will redirect to any URL, on your web site. And if you do, give it its own subdomain. Otherwise, you'll end up being blamed for phishing and will be on various blacklists.) This handles most of the common cases, but there are a few situations that we don't recognize. Most of these are bad web design. A common error is to have an SSL certificate for "www.example.com", but a web site at "example.com" that doesn't redirect to "www.example.com". This inconsistency results in invalid SSL certificate usage. If your SSL cert is for "www.example.com", your "example.com" should have a redirect to "www.example.com". Otherwise, the user who types [url] gets an SSL warning of a phony site. You don't want that. We've seen this on a few big-name sites that should know better. On a related note, wildcard SSL certificates for "*.example.com" don't cover "example.com". It's possible to get an SSL cert that covers more than one domain, which is the right solution to some of these problems. Incidentally, we ignore "domain control only" validated certificates. If there's no business identity in the cert, it's meaningless as an indicator of business legitimacy. We had an amusing issue with "robots.txt" files. There are some sites that use a "robots.txt" file to disallow access to their "example.com" domain, so that search engines will index the "www.example.com" domain. They usually put a redirect on the "example.com" domain, so browsers also go to the "www.example.com" domain. "ibm.com" is set up that way. Originally, we read the "robots.txt" file for "example.com", saw we were locked out, and refused to rate the site. We now look at the header part of the page at "example.com" first, to check for a redirect, and once past the redirect issue, start obeying "robots.txt" before we read any site content. For another adventure in redirection, try [url]. Yes, Microsoft redirects their "robots.txt" file. Anyone know of any more special cases we need to handle?

Different E-mail/Web Server But Same Domain Name
I was wondering if someone might be able to help me out. I've been trying to get this figured out for the past week and have not had any success. Here is my problem, I have one domain name, I have the Web services provided on one server, and I need my e-mail provided on a different server for the same domain. I can't seem to figure out how to get my e-mail set up that is on a different server. I really need to get my e-mail going because it's very important. I think this has something to do with updating the MX records and some other stuff but I have no idea how to do it through my registrars control panel that they have. I registered it through Go Daddy.

2 Email Addresses On The Same Domain But Using Different Mail Servers
I'm trying to see if it's possible to have 2 email addresses on the same domain (e.g. email1@domain.com and email2@domain.com) but are handled by 2 different email servers (e.g. mail.domain1.com and mail.domain2.com)? To put it into context, I have a domain hosted on my dedicated server and a couple of email accounts set up on it. I also have another mail account set up on a different server but with the same domain. I was wondering if maybe something could be done with the DNS to allow the 'external' mail account to be handled by the other server?

E-mail From Addon Domain Flagged As Junk
I have an addon domain running on my webhosting along side my primary account. I am mostly using the Thunderbird client to send e-mails. 80% of the time when I send a mail out from "name@addondomain.com" hotmail, gmail, yahoo all see it as spam! What's ironic is I receive more darn adult e-mails in my free accounts than anything else, and yet it's thinking the occasional mass personal message is SPAM? So these guys that flood my inbox daily must know something I don't? Is there something I'm doing incorrectly? Or do I need to change a hosting package setting, should I use different software such as a php mailing list?

E-mail Hosting, Google Apps And Domain Locking
I've seen that a similar topic was posted earlier today, but I have more specific question. I'm looking for the e-mail only hosting. Requirements: * dedicated IP * SMTP + SSL (TLS) * POP3/IMAP + SSL (TLS) * up to 10 e-mail addresses from various domains * forwarders (10 or more) * 1-5 GB storage * 10 GB bandwidth * budget: the less the better, but I'll pay any reasonable amount of money if the service is good. Basically I need to find a provider at which I can keep my e-mail address once and for all. (I need a few e-mails only, a few forwarders, 100 MB storage and 1 GB bandwidth but I stated more so I don't run out on resources) Is there any significant difference between SSL and TLS or is it all mainly in the proprietary vs open standard? Is there any good reason why not to use Google Apps for this purpose? I've read that some people are concerned about privacy. Is there any pro that can comment on this (privacy issue) and remain objective? One last (dumb?) question. What is the purpose of domain locking? Before AuthCodes were introduced I could see the reason for locking domains, but why would anyone want to lock the domain these days? (and yet I see majority still does) I mean, noone can initiate the transfer without providing AuthCode (can he?) and isn't that alone good enough to keep the domain safe? And if someone manages to gain control to the control panel to read AuthCode then he can easily unlock the domain so I see no additional layer of security.

Reversable Domain/DNS Problems In E-mail Genuinity Check
Title: Reversable Domain/DNS Problems in E-mail Genuinity Check Tags: DNS, firewall, internet protocol, routing, email This is a real world scenario that I need help figuring out. I have thought of everything I could, but now I must seek the privileging knowledge and help from WebhostingTalk Forumers. This is a real world scenario -- how so? Well know that Microsoft's TechNet newsletter probably goes out to at least a million people. How many of those e-mails go out to yahoo.com? Gmail.com? Hotmail.com? AOL.com? Etcetera. This is the same scenario that my company is in, except with a little bit of a kicker that has caused me to seek help. In this scenario we have at least 10,000 clients with an e-mail at company-b.com. We need to send all of our clients an important e-mail with confidential information. We have one physical server and it is located in a ventilated and cooled datacenter'ish room. We also have two internet service providers for connection redundancy. On our firewall, we have it set so that if our primary ISP goes down it will instantly switch over to our secondary ISP until our primary ISP is back online. The IP address our primary ISP gives us on the internet is 48.48.48.48, and our secondary ISP gives us 68.68.68.68. [url] Company-b.com, for the protection of their customers, will resolve the reverse DNS from the address an e-mail would come from to make sure that the IP addresses match. In other words, when you send an e-mail from company-a.com it will come out from mail.company-a.com (with an IP address of 48.48.48.48 for example). When the mail gets to company-b.com, that server will resolve the reverse DNS (or try to anyway) of mail.company-a.com to make sure that it is indeed coming from 48.48.48.48. If it resolves it to a different IP address, it will not deliver the e-mails you sent from company-a.com to its customers on company-b.com. In general, this verification process tries to verify the genuinity and validity from where e-mail was sent from to its own customers. If mail.company-a.com resolves to a different IP address than what it came from, then it is possible to say that we (or company-a.com) are using a relay (which is like a proxy), or that our domain name is simply not reversable. [url] To summarize: mail is sent out through 48.48.48.48 (but then goes offline coincidentally) and is sent to 96.96.96.96. Because 48.48.48.48 is down, mail.server-a.com will resolve to 68.68.68.68 instead of the original IP address we sent out our mail from, and because the IP addresses differ, the server 96.96.96.96 rejects the mail we sent, thinking that we either (1) have a DNS problem, (2) are spammers/spam-bombers, or (3) using a relay or proxy, which many companies are against, do not support, and have counter-measures against relay/proxy-users. [url] Any and all help will be appreciated. We are looking for a workable, proper/appropriate solution so that we can successfully pass the reverse domain test. We can add/modify DNS/MX records to company-a.com. We must have the two ISPs we have for redundancy; our company and clients heavily depend on our internet connection's uptime. Also, a lot of people in the company depend on IMAP/POP3/SMTP with their cell phones, iPhones, PDAs, laptops, timecards, etcetera. We may be able to schedule something maintenaince for a weekend if necessary.

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!

Where Have All The REAL Hosts Gone
My company has 20+ clients ranging from small single-person businesses to medium-sized corporations. I've been hoping to eventually consolidate them under one hosting company. Despite bad things I'd read, I THOUGHT I'd found a good home in Bluehost. Until yesterday. I'll leave out the story as it would be a short novel, but I'll just say that they proved to me that they are not a suitable host for an important corporate client, nor do they have any desire to be. It's obvious to me that I need to stop looking at these discount hosting companies. But while my larger clients may be happy to pay a decent amount of money for reliable service and server admins who are willing to tweak a server setting for them on occasion, I also need to be able to provide a reliable host for my smaller clients who may be used to paying $6.95/month for hosting and don't want to go too much higher than that. I see ad after ad for hosting companies, but that tells me nothing about how good a host really is. Asking on forums, searching the internet, you'll find everything from how great a host is to how they're the worst host on the internet. But you all know this. Years back when I was first searching for hosting, I found a site that tracked hundreds of hosts and compared their pricing, services, support, uptime, etc. Are there any reputable sites like that these days? Ideally, I'd like to find a host that offers it all - packages suitable for everything from small clients with tight budgets to larger corporations willing to spend what it takes for good service. I need extremely reliable hosting with tech support who will do whatever it takes to quickly solve problems and keep sites working properly. (Edited to add: 24 hour phone support is an absolute requirement, and 24 hour chat support is highly preferred along with that.) Does such a creature exist? If not, I'd be happy with one GOOD discount host and one GOOD corporate host. If there are any hosts out there who are well-known for their excellent service, I sure haven't found them. I'm very much open to suggestions. I always tell my clients that my job isn't finished until they are 100% happy with the service I give them, and I want to be able to provide them with hosting where they will be treated just as well.

What's The REAL Definition Of A Unique
Got a bit of a debate going here because I have a site that is showing wildly varied results for traffic between different trackers. The three we are watching are: extreme paid version awstats webalizer Extreme shows 70k uniques for this month while awstats is showing 16,555 then to make things even more confusing webalizer is showing 22564. So that leads us to the question, what exactly is a unique and is there really any precise definition of how a unique should be counted. is it: 1. one unique IP visit for the whole site 2. one unique IP visit per page on the site then on top of that we have to factor in the time frame so now is it: 1. one unique IP visit for the whole site per day 1. one unique IP visit for the whole site per month 3. one unique IP visit per page per day 4. one unique IP visit per page per month Now some may say the above is being picky BUT how many site owners do you hear saying "I get 100,000 uniques per month". This comment alone begs for an answer to this question. I don't think I have ever heard someone come back at a comment like that with "Really, How do you count your uniques?" With all the trackers out there and all the companies that are relying on accurate statistics to sell advertising and / or value the site this is one of THE grayest areas around ...... So again, the question is: What the heck is the definition of a unique and for that fact is there one?

DMEHosting.com - DDOS Protection For Real?
About a year ago, I had been shopping around for dedicated server with good support and DDOS protection and finally decided to go with DMEhosting. I am generally happy with their service as they usually reply in short time and prices are good, however, recently the server has been DDOS'ed (small attack) and the host is now requesting for extra charges although all of their packages mentioned "DDOS Protection: Yes". Is this normal/fair reaction of hosts in general? If not, how do I get the free DDOS protection they included in price. Also, are there any other dedicated service providers with good DDOS protection and reasonable prices (Dual core, 2-4 GB RAM, 10 mbps unmetered, 200-300GB drive)?

What Is The Real Importance Of Server Location
I am almost ready to choose my host (as reseller) but I would like to know how is possible to determinate the importance of server location ? In fact am located in Switzerland (middle Europe) and my targeted customer are especially located in my Switzerland, France and Belgium. In Europe is difficult to find nice host reason why I take a look for US hosting. It is a lot important to choose a host near my country ? It is just a story of access time to a website or something else ? Actually I have some website hosted in France and US but I don't see really a big big difference when a site load...It is a story of maybe 1 or 2 seconds more...and sometime the site hosted in France (and so more near to my location) take little more time to load..

Real Web Host - Disappointed
Just thought I would write a review of Real Web Host and how I came to be disappointed with them and there services. I first came across Real Web Host some time ago, a friend had recommended them, and hosted a number of web sites with them. After a period of time hosting with them I decided to leave to set up a project I was working on, I worked on my project for about a year but things did not work out so I decided to cut my losses and close the project down. This left me needing hosting for a couple of web sites I still had so I went back to Real Web host last year and bought hosting for my 2 web sites. During the last 4 or so months I kept getting problems with connecting to my web sites and FTP, they did not last for long but they seemed to be happening more frequently of late. Now normally one would submit a ticket if something like this keeps happening but I didn't and my reasons for that is from my experience of replies to previously submitted tickets. To clarify the above paragraph, when I submitted a ticket about a problem with my hosting I would often get a short and somewhat rude response saying there is no problem and to check again, obviously I would check again and the problem would have mysteriously have disappeared, this would be the scenario for many different problems I submitted tickets on, I would report a problem, they would reply saying there is no problem and miraculously the problem that I reported had disappeared. Now I appreciate from time to time there may be problems with a hosting account but what I do not appreciate is being treated like an idiot when I report a problem with them fixing it and then telling me there was no problem to begin with and often they would do this in a condescending and rude manner. Now due to my two experiences of hosting with Real Web Host and the current economic climate I find myself in I decided to cancel my accounts with them and move my 2 sites to where I could get the best value and services for my money. I searched the Real Web Host web site for information on cancellations and came across the following page [url] On this page it clearly states that: "Customers can cancel service any time and be refunded any full months that are pre-paid" I had paid for both on my accounts a year in advance so I submitted 2 tickets to there billing department, one for each hosting account, informing them that I wished to cancel my hosting with them and that I respectfully requested a refund for the 2 full months that were remaining on each account, 4 months in all totalling $32 I received a reply asking why I had submitted 2 tickets on the same issue and that one was good enough, they also linked to there rules page and told me to read it with regard to cancellations and refunds. I replied to them saying I had submitted 2 cancellation tickets because I was cancelling 2 hosting accounts, I also replied saying that I had read there rules page but that it contradicted another web page on there web site which says "Customers can cancel service any time and be refunded any full months that are pre-paid" I also linked them to the page. The reply I got back was a quote from there rules page about cancellations and an instruction to read them again. I then replied to that ticket saying that I had already read there rules page and did not need to read it again and I again linked them to the page on there web site that said "Customers can cancel service any time and be refunded any full months that are pre-paid" and I respectfully asked them to honour this and refund me for my unused months. I got a reply back sating that the page I linked to was incorrect and that there rules page has been the same way for 5 years and it overrides any other information that I see or find on there site. I took there latest reply to mean that they would not be honouring the statement on the page I linked them to on there web site that clearly states "Customers can cancel service any time and be refunded any full months that are pre-paid" and that no refund would be forthcoming. In closing what started out as a good experience with Real Web Host turned into one of disappointment over time, with condescending and rude replies to tickets that often treated me like I was an idiot down to them not willing to give me a refund for my unused months even though it clearly stated on there web site that they would refund for any unused months.

Create virtual directories under IIS Manager using ASP/ASP.NET script, this is easiest, but having two problem. a. If I have say 10,000 vir. dir., and then I try to expand that root folder under IIS manager, IIS manager will hang for sure. b. Having such huge vir. dir will inevitably having a huge IIS Metabase, this means a great chance of corrupting it, so it's very dangrous. I really hope someone can give me some hints how to do this in a scalable way? I know many Web2.0 site do this even using IIS6 ie, [url]

Creating A New Partition
The server I got from LayeredTech has two hard drives, obviously they set up the first hard drive with Linux etc. The second hard drive is just there, not showing any partitions in 'fdisk' when I checked, so I assume they just leave it blank in every new server for the owner to deal with however they want. I've been looking up guides to create a new partition for the full size of the hard drive and then mount it. However, it hasn't been very successful. Everytime I created the partition in fdisk, I have to set a size, and then when I mount it, it only says that the drive is ~98MB big. Is there a way to partition the drive to its full capacity? And then mount it somewhere on the system? Or anywhere I can go to to find out easily?

Creating A Datacenter
I have a old pentium 2 lying around. I was actually wondering if I install a smll linux distro such as DSL linux, is there a way to make it into a fileserver only? 3 comptuers will connect to it. My main computer and server will use the same internet (ive got a 5MBS line but right now I am just doing an expirment so I dont care if its slow.) theres a laptop which connects wirelessly using my neighbours (i dont have wireless) so thats a whole different IP and differnt ISP. and my dads computer which is about 3 KM away. So I want to do it, store like a couple of word documents

Creating A Forum
I want to create a forum and have not got any idea in where to start. All I have at the moment is a PhpBB2 template which I would like to use. The few questions I have are: 1: Do I need to purchase Webspace, if so which are recommended? 2: How would I install the template to the webspace and would the users login information get stored in a seperate database or would that come with the web hosting? All help would be very much appriciated as i have no idea where to start and how to get it up and running.

Mysql Overloaded - Time To Move To A Real Server / VPS
After 2 years of application hosting on ixwebhosting.com i have overloaded their mysql servers for the forth time and now if i overload them again i'll get banned. Each time i got overloaded My database was taken away for a almost a week and i had to beg everyone / write a letter to the CEO so they'll return the database. I now need to sireously move to a VPS / Dedicated server or my database will be deleted permenantly including all my 10 gigabytes of usergenerated data and content heh. The wrost thing is i can't even monitor these overloads and ixwebhosting just take away your databases and say "STOP, you overloaded!" that's it - you're screwed. I really modified my scripts these 2 days so i won't overload them again and get the final booting (that's after i paid 2 years upfront - 260$), but guess what, they can't even tell me if i'm now overloading the servers after i done all the tweaking. Guess it's time to get all the data to my comuter before they say i have overloaded again and all my 12 my sites get blown away. I need to switch fast i don't have much time as it seems and my most important site has 8k unique visitors per day - that's why the over loading occurs, heh, because im just too big - UNLIMITED MY ARSE. I've been looking for a host and the best i found (after 2 days of forum readings and google searching ) where: 1. inmotionhosting VPS. 2. rackforce.com DDS. 3. Iweb.com Please any suggestion / comments to where should i go to host will save my buissness, my main concern is my 8k per day site with 2.5 page views per user and 2 mysql queries per page. looking for a good company with managed everything (I know nothing about hardware managment - i'm a php / mysql geek at the most) and technical support with great uptime and a good ping / connection to israel's area is a big plus.
