Email Hosting ...
Jan 12, 2009The company I currently work for relies on our email quite a bit. We currently host our email through the same company that hosts our website, which as we all know, is common practise. However, we've found that our web host's mail servers are being blocked by a few big name spam filters (we're on a shared host, it was someone else on the box that caused the problem we're told), which means that a few of our clients and suppliers can't get email to us properly.
Our shop is cross platform Windows and Mac, and we have people who use a lot of different email clients (Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, etc). I was wondering if anyone knows a good email host. We're looking for a place with no (or very high) limit on emails sent and received a day, a host that has a good control panel for managing mail, and takes a proactive approach to monitoring and removing their servers from spam filters. Our management also wants 24/7 live support, or I would've gone with Google Apps.
ASP.Net 2.0 Hosting + Email
Feb 11, 2008I am setting up a small site for my brother's wife and I am looking for a ASP.Net webhost + Email.
1st off does anyone know if Network Solutions offers ASP.Net 2.0 webhosting? He was looking at using them so I have to consider this.
2nd Question. His wife has a palm smartphone that has POP mail. What would you suggest doing so that she can get her email on a laptop and phone. Email forwarding? Do most hosts provide a service like this.
Any other good large hosting companies that you can recommend?
Email Hosting ...
Aug 9, 2008for the past couple of years NearlyFreeSpeech.NET's "pay as you go" hosting system has been good to me, but I've decided I want to host email on my domains without using privacyware like Google. Unfortunately, NearlyFreeSpeech does not support email hosting.
I found a number of hosts, and it seems like MailSnare or FastMail is a good choice.
Perhaps MailTrust also, but their 100% uptime guarantee seems dodgy... any input on that?
The alternative is I drop NearlyFreeSpeech and switch to a host like 1&1 for $4/mo. Can you suggest any other cheapie legitimate hosts along those lines? And would you suggest switching hosts or paying out to a dedicated mail host as mentioned above?
Hosting And Email
Sep 19, 2007I have created 4 websites for a client, 3 of them are new and one is to replace and existing website. The 4 websites use a single database and content management system and the 3 new ones are hosted by my normal web host.
The existing website is hosted by a different host and I was going to simple change the Nameservers to my normal host so that they are all on the same server. However, my client is quite concerned about the effect that this will have on his email. He has mobile email and remote outlook and I think some security guarantees from this current host (which is BT).
Does anyone know if it possible to change the Nameservers for the website but have the emails still running though the original host (BT)?
Email Hosting ... Just Need POP3
Oct 23, 2008Email hosting... Just need POP3
I am looking for a good hosting solution for a client of ours. Requirements are quite simple. Need direction really on who to go for.
We need:35 mailboxes
Dedicated new IP address
OK with POP3 service, no MS exchange hosting needed. Can work with Linux hosting as well.
50MB per mailbox space
What we plan to do is create an MX record for the domain and point it to the provider. That would in turn point to the IP where all the mailboxes reside. The web hosting is already taken care of at a company called Host Depot based in Florida.
Its that simple. I am having trouble looking for a good, trustworthy and reliable provider for this.
Rackspace came back to us qouting $2.80 per mailbox per month but no dedicated IP. Also considered Enom but they are qouting $9.95 per mailbox.
Looking forward to your recommendations. Any questions?
Business Email Hosting
Jun 2, 2009I work for a company who is wanting to provide email accounts for about 300 users. There doesn't need to be any bells or whistles, only the ability to send and receive email. In fact, there probably won't be an enormous amount of activity on the accounts, though it could grow in time.
I'm a newbie at this and am unaware of all the available options. My first thought was to consider web hosting.
It seems like there are a hundred companies out there offering unlimited mailboxes for shared web hosting accounts. After some investigation, I saw that alot of these companies limit the sent emails to 250 an hour. This seems too low for comfort.
I started looking at VPS and Dedicated Servers and they seem to be a little more reasonable. Most of these hosting companies offered some type of squirrel mail or imp client, which would work fine.
Am I heading down the right track using a VPS or Dedicated Server at a company like inmotion? Did I misunderstand the 250 per hour limit? Could a shared hosting plan work comfortably for 300 active email accounts?
I've heard Exchange and Google Apps are popular, but after a cursory glance, they seem quite expensive for our needs (but maybe someone can explain why they are worth a closer look).
Email/ Hosting Transfer
Apr 27, 2009I have watched the screencast on domains etc and I sort of get it, but I have a website for a client that already has email and a server and things but I have to transfer it. basicly the site is hosted on the old developers server and the email is on one of my clients just as an email host(eclipse). so I need to make the domain point to a new server and the email to point from that sever to eclipse without any disruption to the website and especially the email. because I can't afford to make any mistake on this I am asking for the best way to do this.
Do I just change the records on the domain(123reg) and the new server so that it all points to the new server then find the email records(MX or A, can't remember) and get the email server pointing to there after? where do I find these records? and will it cause disruption to the email because of routers and stuff updating as said in the screecast or is that just for new domains?
Bulk EMail Hosting ....
Mar 2, 2009I want to send bulk emails. I need a webhosting that can send 1 million emails in one go. It should have a static IP and should be cost effective. I have low budget.

Jan 30, 2008I would like to help my friend to host his email service on my VPS server. His current shared web hosting unfortunately has a quota limit on the number of emails he can send each hour, which is very inconvenient for him.
I know how to modify the MX record of my friend's domain in his current web host using Cpanel, but I don't know how to set up my server to accommodate his email service. I'd appreciate if anyone can teach me how to do it. My server also has Cpanel/WHM installed.
Outsourcing Email Hosting
Aug 1, 2008I have a few servers that host my sites, but managing the mail servers has been a pain. The configuration files are arcane and sometimes I just can't figure out why a mail doesn't show up for half an hour or more.
I looked at FuseMail but read recent reviews of them having delayed delivery and account throttling issues... so I ruled that out.
MailTrust looks clean so far, and I can do $30 per month for 10 mailboxes.
Hosting For Disposable Email

Jun 9, 2008I represent a small company ~10 users, that has a domain name registered with a company like godaddy. The domain is not hosted as yet.
I would like to find a good service provider that can provide us with email hosting, i.e. we would like to get 5 email accounts with 5GB or more, larger the better.
The users will be accessing the email through Outlook and if possible through webmail.
Over time, we would like to host the website and build a site as well but that is not an immediate need
Finally, the hosting company should have good customer service.
Shared Hosting: Email
Aug 23, 2008I have just recently purchased a shared hosting package and am having some trouble with my email. I have set it up to work with Microsoft Outlook 2003 and it works perfectly when it comes to SENDING emails. Sadly, it doesn't work at all when RECEIVING emails comes into play.
The incoming server is set to port 110. And I'm pretty sure my incoming server address is correct because, well, Outlook says it's correct :p
Email List Hosting
Apr 22, 2008We are a small non-profit (High School PTA) and would like to sending weekly newsletters to our parents who are paid members and have provided an email address on their membership forms. Although we have about 2000 members, our list is about 800 subscribers. We expect this to max out at about 1500 over the next year or two. The newsletter is produced in MS Publisher and is sent as an ‘email message’ through outlook. Looked at email services – afford them right now.
I am looking for a hosting company/service that will allow:
1. Maximum deliverability -we have issues with Comcast and AOL. Surprisingly, yahoo and hotmail have been fine.
2. We do not want opt-in – we want to be able to add addresses. We tried yahoo groups but I kept battling parents who would let invitations expire and ask that I resend or those who requested that I ‘just’ add them because they had already provided their address or because are not email savvy enough to follow the links! Yahoo groups limits the number of address on their ‘free’ list and you can add only 10 members per day. This was fine when we had only 100-200 but cannot do this with a growing list.
3. Need to way to ‘manage’ the list – meaning see which email address received the newsletters successfully, which ones got rejected by individual’s filter, which ones were blocked by the providers, email address which are no longer valid, etc. Currently, I have no way (that I know of) to get this information. I do not know PHP scripts or cgi-bin scripts – am willing to learn if there is a simple tutorial here on the forum.
4. All other needs are minimal.
Using CPanel Only For Email Hosting
Jun 14, 2007I have a VPS that runs cPanel/WHM and have been receiving a few enquiries where clients want to move only their email hosting to me. Most of them have small, static, web sites and seem happy with that.
Is this possible? If yes, I would appreciate some pointers on how to go about setting it up.
Web Hosting And Email Broadcasting
Aug 25, 2007Our school was just notified that our school district is now paperless. School is starting in a week, and while we may have a one month grace period to get some info out to parents on paper, we need to pull somthing together quickly. It seems that what we need are the ability to post all our info on a website accessible to our school community, as well as the ability to send broadcast emails to our school community. I am with the PTO and we have lots of activities to promote, support to solicit, etc.
I have found lots of web hosting solutions. I have heard some in our district talk about Yahoo Site Builder, but have not found pro/con discussions on this provider. Can someone point me in the right direction to get some good feedback on Yahoo? There are so many options out there it is hard to know what to go with. We are looking for free to low cost options, with growth potential.
I also have not found anyone offering web hosting along with email broadcasting - is this correct? I have found some separate options for web based email broadcasting - ennect.com? Until we get our own server at our school my thought was that this would give us what we need without a lot of investment? Wondering if someone can point me in the right direction here too.
We are in need of a quick solution for now, but also want the option to ease into a long term solution - probably a server at the school providing database, web server, email server.
Hosting EMail And Web In Different Servers
Jan 4, 2007I'm experiencing some issues that I thought were something normal, or something that you could expect when working like this, but I think that it is something that should NOT happen.
We own a dedicated server, where we host some sites we develop (around 80 right now). We usually host both email and web page in the same server, but recently we had two customers who wanted to host email in a different place. The first one has its own server with proxy, and the second one is waiting the previous company to change DNS values.
The problem shows when we try to send an email from ANY domain hosted in our server, to one of these domains. From Outlook, the error is something like "no such user found", but the REAL problem comes when a PHP script (usually a contact form) tries to send the email. This mails get simply lost, and the customer never receives them.
My question is: What do I configure, or how do I do so my webserver looks for the real DNS, instead of trying to send the mail directly to the local domain?
Google Email Hosting Service
Jan 28, 2009I am looking for a host for my emails, i have about 25 and another 15 forwarders and was wandering if anyone can tell me how is the google email hosting service, i am referring to the free service. Were any emails lost? Does the service decides on it's what is spam and waht is not or can i configurate that? Is the lack of customer service noticable?
View 14 Replies View RelatedCombined Shared Hosting And Email
Nov 4, 2009I have two companies hosted at Futurequest. I've used them before and have been and still am happy with them. Along with shared hosting for two companies, we have email. In one account we use less than 25 email accounts, and total disk space allowed for web hosting and email is maximum 1GB. We use less than 500MB for our web site so that leaves us on average 20MB per email account. We're running into problems with disk usage due to the way some people are using their email accounts. Most of us use Outlook Express for email. I have options set to delete when downloaded, so I rarely use much disk space. Others delete 1-10 days after downloaded from server, and those can add up to some considerable disk space usage for email.
Looking at similar small shared web hosting (<$25 per month), most seem to have similar limits. For example, Dotster has a 200GB disk usage limit, but email is 2GB, and since number of email accounts is advertised as unlimited, that 2GB limit must be total for all email accounts. I've been told that these companies focus on website hosting, not on email, and they suggest customers needing larger email accounts look at other email services.
Why is this? In the case of Dotster, why 200GB total disk space, but only 2GB for email disk space? The powers that be here insist that disk space is cheap - under $1 per GB - so limits like this aren't based on cost of disk space. It's a difficult argument for me to refute - why are the email disk space usage limits so low?
As for alternatives, I found this thread here about Hosted Email Options: [url]showth...=EMAIL+STORAGE
Is this type of service what I should be looking at - leaving web hosting where it is but moving our email to one of these? I hate to move our email again. I could increase our account at Futurequest to allow on average 60MB per mailbox but someday the problem's going to come up again. That's probably less costly than a separate email provider, no extra work, and he problem should go away for quite a while.

Hosting Email - 554 Message Refused
Apr 3, 2009I have a dedicated server with godaddy (I know) and have used a pre-installed mail server product to host a few email accounts. Nothing fancy. My mail server is required to relay through godaddy's servers. A few of my users began complaining about email bounces - specifically "554 message refused". I opened a support ticket 2 weeks ago.
Initially godaddy insisted that the emails contained suspicious phishing links - which they didn't. I incrementally stripped the content of the emails and discovered that it was two simple characters that caused the bounce - left and right square brackets []. I presented this information to godaddy and their response was:
"When sending emails in the future, please make sure that these two brackets are not placed in succession to avoid the email from being bounced"
The problem is that my users are trying to forward or respond to email with embedded content that sometimes contains []. I cannot expect them to strip down their emails.
While acknowledging this issue, godaddy has refused to correct it. Sorry for long-winded explanation but I'm interested in some of your feedback - Does this policy make sense? Why can't they correct it?

Hosting For Sending Email With Attachments
Jul 18, 2008Currently I am on a shared hosting service. My main concerns are to send a newsletter every fortnight which has an attachment of about 3 MB and has to be delivered to 800+ members.
In doing so on a shared hosting plan i receive a memory allocation error as the php.ini has 32 MB and i cannot change it because i am on shared hosting. I am using Joomla and Acajoon component to send the mails; after every 7-8 mails out of 800 members i recive the fatal error of memory allocation and I am looking for a solution to this problem.
My main concerns are of sending 3 MB attachment mails to the members . What kind of hosting should i go for in order to send mails successfully.
Would VPN be useful .
Also what exactly is DNS hosting?

Hosting A Public Email Service
May 10, 2007Currently we are running a very successful site for extreme sports. We have just spent 6 months on development of our new site which we will launch in a fortnight. This will free up some of my time to look at other areas and avenues to attract members.
Personally I would love to run a hotmail style service on our website, and believe this would help with the growth of our online community.
Just interested in advice from others on areas to be aware and alert when running a service like this?
I am also trying to make the decision between SocketMail or Atmail. If anyone has opinions on these, or an alternative solution i'm all for that advice too.
Basically at this point I am wanting to get as much advice together as possible, then look to making an informed decision to go ahead or not.
Currently we operate off a dedicated server and i realise this may have to become two servers in the near future with such a service. It is fully managed by myself, and a 3rd party individual I hire to maintain the server on a monthly basis.
