to provide MS-Exchange hosted accounts. (The ones with the free copy of MS-Exchange.)
We feel we should focus on our core business and are looking for a good company to resell from. We will have value-added services. We need a rock-solid company who provides an excellent SLA.
Who's in the game and who can provide a good wholesale price?
I've seen various companies offering Microsoft Exchange hosting but I'm not sure if this is what I need to go with or not. Let me explain what I'm wanting to do and maybe someone can give me a yay or nay on it. I have a desktop and a laptop running Outlook that I would like to be able to sync together with a web-based server. I also have a Treo 750 cell phone that I want to have my calendar and tasks synced as well with the web-based server.
For example: I add an appointment on my desktop computer and it syncs with the web server. When the web server gets it, it syncs to my cell phone via ActiveSync. Right now I'm using the free version of Mail2Web which doesn't support Outlook syncing. (I have to manually enter the data on the website interface and then it will sync via Activesync to my phone.) They do have a paid version starting at $11.95/mo that will supposedly do what I'm wanting to do with Outlook, but I'm not sure if this is overkill for what I need or not. Again I don't really need to sync email, just my calendar and tasks.
So do I need a full blown exchange hosting provider or is there some software (other than Exchange) that I can install on my Windows VPS that will do what I'm looking to do?
I'm currently with 1and1 - obviously they suck - no need to belabor that here. I've been resisting a hosting switch, but the outages are more and more frequent, and my website is my livlihood. Need recommendations for web/MySql hosting and also hosting for a single Exchange account. Does not have to be the same company. Price is not a huge issue - I'm willing to pay for quality. Requirements are basic; about 3-5 GB of file storage, SQL 4 and 5, linux server. Shared server is fine. Any recommendations? Don't really trust the "review" sites.
Some kind of moving assistance/support would be GREAT. I've managed to muddle through and set all this stuff up over the years, but am not at all confident of my ability to move it all without screwing up. Includes 3 active databases, several sites, SSL cert (currently purchased through 1&1 but it looks like they farmed it out to geotrust), and exchange mailbox.
Can anyone recommend a host that specializes in reliable Microsoft Exchange e-mail hosting that includes the web client?
Or optionally, a business that specalizes in reliable e-mail hosting along with collaborative web features.
Or finally, can anyone recommend a collaboration web software that could be installed on a UNIX/Linux server that already offers IMAP?
Didn't really see a forum that this question would fit in, so figured I'd put it in the forum with the experts.
i am currently seeking exchange 2007 hosting. i need a host that accepts paypal? could any off you point me to some hosts.
i no web2mail offers it but is a bit expensive $15 a month.
Basically my requirements is as followed.
2 Accounts needed.
- Outlook Web Access
- Outlook Access (On the PC itself)
- 1 GB minimum per account
- only 1 account require blackberry sync.
I have two questions that hopefully someone will be able to help me out with. The first, is my partner and I want to provide server redundancy for our clients. Our set-up is as follows: two identical servers with multiple virtual machines (about 4) on each. One for SQL, one for IIS, etc. We also have a ServerIron XL to connect the two together and provide replication and load balancing. So the question is, has anyone here used a ServerIron XL and how easy is it to use/how effective is it? The second question is, we would like to provide our clients with hosted Exchange. I have set up and maintained a few Exchange 2007 servers, but only for a single company with a single domain. What would be the best way to go about providing a hosted Exchange solution?
View 0 Replies View RelatedAnyone know of a hosted exchange provider that also provides shared web hosting?
The shared hosting plan can be small - its for a low traffic site.
We've been frantically looking to move from this company called Media Temple for our staging server / email needs. Our application / corporate servers are hosted with The Planet.
Any one have any suggestions for a shared hosting provider between the regular $10-$20 / month range, having the following things:
Windows with .NET 2.0/3.5 and AJAX installed
At least 5GB storage
IMAP email with IDLE support or Exchange email (will pay more)
Ability to host at least 10 domains
Minimalist Control panel and Webmail preferred
I'm currently with Steadfast Networks for my VPS (Linux). We are now in need of shared MS Exchange Hosting plan. Although I found some companies offering Exchange Hosting, they do not offer VPS's. Does anyone knows of any reliable company offering both?
I want someone (well maybe except Rackspace) who is reliable, has good feedback and provides good uptime and customer service.
I have been recently in the marketplace for an exchange e-mail hosting provider.
I'll tell you straight out that I wanted something quite cheap(less than $10/m), a big amount of storage(my outlook inbox is over 500MB ), exchange server 2007 and spam/virus protection.
I know, I know, you must be thinking to yourself - your expecting way too much for such a budget - yeah I guess I'm cheap that way .
On that note, you might not be surprised that I had quite a hard time finding an a exchange hosting provider that met my needs. Yes, their was 1and1 exchange hosting but I have already went through hell with them and the thought of handing over to them my CC info again just didint sit great.
I went through all the google adsense ads and searched extensively only to find providers (intermedia, appriver etc.) who were way above my budget. So I thought fine I'll shell out $30 a month but I NEED alot of storage. Thats where the huge shortfall was as all of these providers gave out of the box a maximum of 1GB of storage, to upgrade(many from 500MB) would have been another $20 or so a month so it didint seem to promising.
My lucky day
On like the 5th or so page on google I found sherweb.com.
Sure enough they had exactly what I wanted. Their website seemed professional (yes I look to see how nice it looks ) and their live chat help was great. Down to the specifics: They offered a whopping 3GB of exchange 2007 space for only $8.95 a month which is unprecedented in the industry. To top it all off they had an excellent barracuda spam/virus protection in place with its own control panel to tweak sensitivity settings and see e-mails that it trapped. It's just such a pleasure to use. In addition, they have all the additional frills, web access, a nice admin panel, sharepoint, SAN backups etc.
(As a side point they did not have any reviews on WHT but just took a leap of faith *gasp*)
I have been with them for about a month and I know its not that long and I will be back to update in a few months but just wanted to let ya'll know what kind of wonderful experience it has been.
From the instantaneous setup to their within minutes response times support I really have been quite satisfied.
I have built a server so I can co-locate it to be used for shared hosting. The specification is high, compared to most dedicated server offerings, so I was considering splitting it up into different virtual machines for different purposes. The specification is: Intel Xeon 3230 (4x 2.66ghz), 8GB DDR ECC RAM, Seagate Cheetah SAS 15,000rpm (4x 147GB), Adaptec RAID 5405 (RAID 6 Array with Battery Backup), Dual on-board NIC, etc.
The original plan was to use this machine as just one linux server, but I am concerned most of its potential will not be exploited. So I am exploring the possibility of setting it up as 2 Virtual Machines, installing Linux on one and Windows on the other. This way I can offer hosting for ASP and ASP.NET, and possibly MS SQL and/or Exchange depending on costs for their licences.
What Microsoft licences are suitable for servers used for shared hosting? From what I can gather there are several ways of being licenced, but I can't figure out which is the most cost effective. It seems you buy the server OS edition that supports your requirements, then pay another licence per user (CAL?) - I haven't got a clue how many users I will need to have though. Then if you want to use MS SQL, DNS or Exchange you need the correct edition - and buy licences for these too.
Does anyone know roughly what I should be looking to pay for what? I would ideally like to have MS SQL, DNS and Exchange - but am aware that the licence could be so expensive that it wouldn't be worth doing.
tell me the name of 2, 3 dedicated server provider with best reseller programs ...
I want to resell servers ...
I had shortlisted a few, although there may be more choices..
SoftLayer have lesser discount, but they have an excellent DC, hardware & more~
Gigenet have up to 30% discount and 15% at least, which is a plus, but I'm not sure about other stuffs, although they are also pretty reputable around..
LimeStoneNetworks have very little discount, and their servers are cheap, but their specs are pretty much *fixed*, and they do not seem to offer as much as the above..
HandyNetworks have cheap servers too, but they are not as competitive with the above 3, in the sense that they are not much interested to join the competition, remaining on their own track completely..
HiVelocity - No information, although their requirement is pretty simple..
Take2Hosting, although they have really cheap servers, their datacenter isn't as advanced as the others, and... Cogent... IMO more suitable for personal use, small sites etc.
IMO I will prefer SoftLayer, but their servers are quite expensive, so even if I get 4 dummy servers, which cost $119(their cheapest server) and multiple by 4 is $476, and get a server used to sell hosting, it will not be cheap.. However, on the other end, Gigenet has cheaper servers(especially their specials, really better than SL), although their entry server is $154, which I suppose everything will balance out, I just can't think of anything they can be better than SL, in terms of network, support, server administration(I heard and tried SoftLayer's portal to manage the server, it was excellent!) etc.
I will actually love to resell Gigenet servers, since it is a lot cheaper(in terms of discount), and their prices are roughly the same(except SL RAM is more expensive)..
i want to resell dedicated server,

A friend of mine is trying to find a place that will let him resell other reseller accounts. The accounts would need WHM access. I can't find anything for him, and he won't host with me because I don't offer that.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhile browsing the offer sections and other providers, I noticed that there is a significant price difference per "1u" if it bought as a full rack vs. buying per unit.
For example, at Colopronto a 44u full-rack costs $550, which is about $12.50 per 1u on average.
While browsing the forums and colo providers, it seems like 1u goes for $50+.
Is it a good business idea to lease a full-rack to resell as 1u to customers? Is it that simple, or more involved?

I WILL be install WS2003 EE R2 on a dedicated server.
However, I will make this into a DC/AD so I can install Exchange and serve the system as a Webserver. All that's fine
But the question during the creation of an DC props up.
I have 2 domains. I will also have 2 dedicated IP's.
Now, lets say I have domains www.aaa.com and www.bbb.com
1) Would I Install and configure DNS on this server? Remember, this is a dedicated server located in a datacenter somewhere with their infrastructure in place.
2) Would I need to configure anything in the LAN settings? Should I just leave everything to automatically detect IP and DNS Servers? (No other computer will be joining this domain)
anything else I should be aware of?
ok, now I have those domain names, I would need to update the DNS Records from the web hoster right? So I would need to update the NS records (The place I purchased the domain from)
Exchange
Now, since I will be creating several user accounts here, these user accounts will be for email addresses.
1) Is it possible to have 2 domains on this 1 exchange server? I'm guessing not? (I dont have knowledge about exchange)
2) What about configuring an exchange server? How would I say create an email address like "abc@aaa.com"? So this email account would then be able to send/recieve email?
Just today we started having some problems with our exchange server...everything was working fine until around 10:00 A.M this morning.
We've started getting sporadic reject messages from people that we have always been able to email in the past.

Theres more as well, but that pretty much sums up the main issues really....as I said, these were working fine for the last year, until today. No changes have been made on our exchange server.
We have GFI Mail essentials installed with SPF records turned on.
We have reverse dns setup through Time Warner Telecom for our IP.
I can send email to my hotmail address, but yahoo rejects it.
I've checked dnsstuff.com and dnsreport.com and we're not on any blacklists.
I'm not exactly sure where else to look.
These mail servers rejecting our email are not from just 1 ISP or 1 mail server, these are from companies in different states/countries.
