I'm downsizing my hosting business and I need to find a new host for a good client of mine. They are a small independent record label and use around 2gb of storage and 100gb of transfer. More importantly, though, they make heavy use of their mailman mailing lists.
Can anyone recommend a host who doesn't limit outbound emails per hour or who has another solution for large mailing lists?
one of my client have an in-house subscriber list with 30000 email build with their offline promotional campaign. They need to send 4 to 5 email in a month and the list might expand to 60000 in a year.
they are using a mailing program to schedule the mailing at 250 email per hour as according to the limit of their ISP and they are looking for a better solution.
i want to suggest them taking a VPS but i'm new to VPS so i'm here to looking for suggestion that i can recommend to my client.
Just got a new WiredTree VPS up and running. Service has been great so far. Make that super!
VPS newbie question: I would like to set a limit on emails for all domains but mine to some number per hour, but I would like mine to be unlimited. I'm not going to be sending a lot, but, when necessary, they will need to go fast. So far, the only way I have figured out how to keep unlimited for me is to not set a throttle at all and allow Mailman only on admin domains. If any user has to have lists, then I can authorize it then and maybe keep tabs on it.(There's probably a lot better way to say that, but I'm tired :-)
I have a client who is interested in settin up a paying mailing list for a website I built for him.
I figured since he doesn't want to spend $3000 for a full CMS, I would just do things manually.
A customer would pay through Paypal. He would then check PayPal for any new subscribers dailys, add them if new, and then send out his newsletter daily to the people who have paid.
In the mailing list software, there would be a box for how many days this person would be allowed to be sent an e-mail and then once his subscription was up, an e-mail would be sent out (the last part is optional).
Does anyone have any insight of a program/script that would work in this manner? Or maybe a decently cheap script that they know of? This site is a non-profit, donation site.
im a webdesigner, so most of my time as to be for designing and not to manage hosting settings.
So from my experience hosting companies like (mt) mediatemple (20 dollars/moth) or mosso (100 dollars/moth) are indicated to webdesigner“s that whant to host some low/medium resources websites to their clients.
So any suggestion on other companies similar adequate for webdesigners? I dont mind paying for premium service
Must have/be:
Customized control panel (like mosso or mediatemple)
@Mail (or other beautiful email client)
Quality Support/Uptime
Created more than 4 years
Location: UK / Europe Datacenter
Does anyone know if such a thing exists? A Tool to convert a mailing list to a forum like say phpBB or VB?

I have a handful of short-term projects that require me to have webspace on servers in France, Germany, and Spain. Unfortunately, I don't know any European languages other than English.
Can anyone suggest web hosts with servers in France, Germany, or Spain that are friendly to English-speakers? That is, a website with an English-translated interface and ideally billing/support in English.
In a cpanel server,what are the things to check if mailling list is not working.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAs you know, most mailinglists are built as you have to send emails from a control panel.
But I am searching for a script or service where a group of members can email each other from their favourite email program, such as Outlook.
Only those members would be allow to send to the list.
On one of our VPSes, the Mailing List feature is disabled. The link is showing but is disabled. Upon searching a lot in Google, I found I need to have MailMan installed before I could run Mailing List.
However, we have Mailman already installed on the VPS in question. Any suggestion as to how to get the mailing list link activated?
Need to send emails to around 4500 subscribers.
Currently have PLESK (MailMan) - but if I create Mailing List. Mailing list email goes in "To:" field and anyone can see that email address, and may perhaps also use that.
Thought to use Desktop Software - but ISP (Cable Broadband) has a limit of 100 emails per session.
Experimented a php/mysql quick solution, but it takes very long time and browser times out. Also. not sure how cron can be configured via script.
Is there any hosting company having a better email solution (where in "To:" field individual's email address goes)?
How do you manage your business mailing needs currently?
we are in this situation:
OS: CentOS 6.5 (Final)
Plesk version: 12.0.18 Update #16, last updated at Sept 11, 2014 04:07 AM
PHP: 5.4.32
we created a new mailing list test1@domain.tld and we tried to send a message, as administrator, to the list and to the temporary users subscribed.But Mailman dones't send anything ! And we receive this error:

All other services on this server seems to be ok, normail email sending, receiving, http... all right... but mailman no.
I have a short list of hosts I'm considering for either my main or backup host. I am currently with A Small Orange in Atlanta who seems to be fairly stable.
Here's the list:
iHubNet.com
MidPulse.com
SharkSpace.com
AspirationHosting.com
I like that iHubNet has their own servers. The comments that folks like Matt A make on this board to be helpful have caught my attention.
My web site has a domain and two parked domains. About 50 subdomanins and is typically 300 to 450MB in size. It uses about that much in bandwidth a month, mostly from clients downloading audio mp3's of voiceover work. The site staying online is important.
I just don't seem to read much on this board about some of these hosts and was wondering if anyone had any experience with them?
I've been trying to use Windows 2008 and Jboss and I wasted loads of time.
Which Open Source OS do you recommend - Java friendly OS?
Can anyone recommend a good adult friendly web host? I have a client who wants to put together a site selling various "toys" and he's going to need a host that allows that sort of thing.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWe have a website hosted with 1and1 Internet and want to keep it like that with its current domain name www.companyname.com
However we have registered a new domain name with 123-Reg, which is company.uk.com, because 1and1 Internet dont allow you to register .uk.com domains
We want to switch to using the .uk.com domain as the main domain but keep the website with 1and1.
Is there a search engine friendly and invisible way of using the uk.com domain by somehow redirecting visitors, without the domain name switching visibly in the browser?
I've been starting to see a little more emphasis on "green" hosting. I'm curious what exactly this would entail. Are there hosts that are using renewable energy sources such as solar and wind? Are some hosts more responsible about the way they dispose of old hardware? Which companies are leading the way?
View 8 Replies View RelatedWe run into DMCA problems (Windows Media Streaming) 3-4 times a year and most of these requests come for content that are not even governed by US laws.We currently have Ecatel and they have been good with DMCA but their quality has been a major drawback (Stream buffering big time, even for a dedicated server)
We are looking for a Windows server 2003 streaming server with at least 100Mbps dedicated unmetered connection (will upgrade to 500 or even 1Gbps dedicated if the quality is reasonable).
I kept getting the "friendly error" below even though i'd disabled it on the client browser (this prove that my client browser is not the problem). i purposely coded a simple script wrongly to get the detail error, but to no avail. I believe it has to do with the server setting.
Can you advise if there's any setting/configuration in the server that might cause this? Without the detail error, it will be impossible for me to debug what is wrong with my asp script.
Some of the stuffs that i'd checked on server.
1) The ISS has been set to send detail errors.
2) It is recognizing the .asp extension (approve) - else, the asp page wouldnt even work.
Been debugging this for few nights already, any help are very much appreciated.
The error example:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator to inform of the time the error occurred and of anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

I suspect people asking about tips on good hosters all the time here, and I'm no different.
But I can start off with the basic req. that might narrow it a tad atleast.
- - - - - - -
1 : Cpanel;
w.cpanel.net
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPanel
This is the first basic req. I have.
I myself are not the most skilled coder in the world, nor is the others around me and we like Cpanel since it "saves" us from confusion very often.
- - - - - - -
2 : Script php / mySQL friendly;
We use CMS scripts (MXP, Joomla, e107, etc) for our communities and forum scripts (phpbb, vBulletin, etc) at all times. So a good loading time is a must, nothing is as devestating for a communitie than a slooow forum.
- - - - - - -
3 : And the regular ;
BIG and cheap. We just doing noncommercial / fun / silly projects / communities so it needs to be cheap and with a good size. Have some photographers + communities with albums and that eats up a good chunk of webspace after awhile.
- - - - - - - -
We greatly appriciate any tips on hosters that covers this. Support don't have to superfast, we pretty relaxed when it comes to that, but the other reqs. is needed.
If you know or even better USE a hoster like this please let us know. We badly need one at the moment. We would be very happy if you could post or PM us a link/s to your or other sites you know of that is active and uses scripts like;
CMS systems
Forum
Photoalbums
So we can check the loadingtime over here in Sweden.
One of the sites I have, is placed on a non-Apache server (the others are). Phpinfo() gives this:
Server API CGI
I'd like to make search engine-friendly URLs for all my sites. All of them will do fine with mod_rewrite, but that's not possible on this server, it seems. Anybody here knows how I can do this for this particular server?
Why is the mobile friendly interface only available in power user mode?

I think if my domain was in a folder, this wouldn't be a problem. I really don't want to change that, though.
I was in the market for a new dedicated server after a couple of years with my previous provider. The previous provider did nothing wrong but they were no longer competitive when it came to CPU and memory.
I moved first to geekrack. And I left them after a week and a half as they never were able to get my rDNS records setup.
I found Universal Hosts on this forum and gave them a shot. I had asked for an operating system that they didn't offer normally (Debian 64 bit) and they said that they could do it. However, when my server was setup it was 32 bit Debian instead. They apologized and had Debian 64 bit setup less than 24 hours later.
When I asked them to get rDNS records setup it took a few hours but they were setup correctly and they worked.
Universal Hosts is also a BurstNet reseller but compared to my other attempt at using a BurstNet reseller they are fantastic. While the initial config was incorrect they worked quickly to fix it and were very professional about it.
So after two weeks - so far so good. Keep up the good work UniHosts!
