Can any one recommend a good email hosting solution a bit like hivemail.com as after searching on google it looks like they have died. I did like the features of hivemail so if there is anything similar then please recommend I will continue my search and let you know what I have found ifI find anything.
We are looking for a provider to host a secondary MX in the UK, It will be designed to act as a failover for 500 days for a maximum of 10 days whilst a replacement primary MX is sourced.
This service would need to stay live all of the time and we need the following: UK Based Spam Assasin ClamAV Managed Service with SLA and 24 hour support cover. The Ability ro relay a specific domain to a specific IP address.
We would be willing to add new domains and IP addresses if we are shown how to do this. All of the management and maintenance of this service would need to be completed by the company supporting it.
We have very little experience with Linux and this is why we would like to outsource this.
With a competitive price, comparable to Google Apps Pro Edition.
In my opinion is a very good product, http://tinyurl.com/68d9h5
that unfortunately I can't resell yet
I still think that Scalix and Zimbra provide a better -final user- experience that Open-Xchange but in business, speed is a must, and having a product before a competition is a competitive edge. You can't keep waiting a company forever.
BTW, Just wanted to take advantage to comment how poor and oldie look the webmail interfaces, we hosting providers provide to our users. With the exception of Windows Email systems and Roundcube, most control panels come with Squirrelmail and Horde, look old. They are good and stable but they are and look good.
Some days ago, I got a new customer and after I gave him the login info for their Cpanel 11 account and webmail, he told me:
"..I don't like the webmail.. I use Yahoo email all the time, and it is easy to use. Squirrel looks simple, but it is "ugly"..."
I must admit, that I felt embarrased.
What did I finally do with him? Configured Google Apps for free for him. Now he is happy. But I am thinking is that if I start to find more customers like this, my business will end up in charging for configuring "nice webmails..."
If an email server needs taking offline for a while, is there a simple solution that can be put in place that can catch and temporarily hold the email until it can be released when the server is back online?
I am moving my shared hosting website to a vps at new provider.
Is it usual to place email server running on the same VPS as my website? Should I worry about email bombs taking out my www or a www DoS attack shutting down my email?
I ask because my new provider doesn't offer email on other own dedicated server. I have to run it on my VPS.
how other people with large subscribers’ database (over 500K subscribers) manage their e-mail marketing needs.
We do have a number of different everyday newsletters and occasionally send surveys to customers (once in a couple of months). I do like the functionality and features that different e-mail marketing providers offer with their packages like Constant Contact, Icontact, etc.
However, considering the number of subscribers their services cost too high in our situation. Maybe there is a standalone software product which we can license and install to our servers and manage in house instead of buying a hosted application?
Quick update: I just found [url]. Does anyone has any experience working with them?
Currently I have my site hosted on a box at home, and using JIP to autoupdate the dynamic ip through zoneedit.
What am I am looking to do is to move my site to a hosted company, and keep my exhange server at home, having the dynamic ip updated through zoneedit, or other.
I have been poking around in zoneedit, and searching the web, but don't seem to be able to work it all out. (the autoupdater, JIP, wants to change the site ip at the same time)
i have a vps and although i can send mails without problem from my main root account, sending via any of the child accounts created for customers results in their email being picked up as spam (in hotmail at least).
To clarify, mydomain.com is my main name. Email can send without problem,
customersdomain.com, hosted on the same machine, when sending emails they are picked up as spam. The mx dns entries in the zone file are set (by default to) customersdomain.com. and for all the child domains customer1domain.com. etc.
Do i need to ask the datacenter to add a reverse dns entry for mail.mydomain.com?
Is this an issue with the mx records for the hosted domains? Should i change the hosted domaims mx entry on the customers domains to mail.mydomain.com?
I know the ip isnt blacklisted because exactly the same email goes through when sending from the mydomain.com email addresses.
I have a small VPS with Serverways and to be honest I have had no problems with it for a week or so - suprising when you see the spec!
My question is - are there any other providers around the globe (looking for VPS servers all over the place) that would sell me a VPS with the following specs:
CPU 100MHZ 100 MB RAM 10GB SATA (Could probably do with less if needed) No control panel 100GB Bandwidth on- 100mbps port. 4.90 USD UnManaged
I have been asked by a client to develop a solution that can offer subversion project hosting. Basically a user will signup for an account and be able to create different repositories and manage them and get RSS feeds for the commit actions n stuff...
Now i am thinking of using PHP for this but I am not sure how will I setup the server (webhost) .. should I recommend him to go with dedicated server? Since he wants to limit the space for each user how can that be done?
My [new] host doesn't offer custom DNS records. Obviously, this upsets me somewhat as I need some custom DNS records (mainly A Records).
Would this be possible:
I've got a few servers with SoftLayer. If I pointed my domain to SoftLayer's nameservers and handled the DNS there, could I simply forward everything to their servers from SoftLayer's "Manage DNS" (such as www, mail, ftp, etc), then create the custom DNS myself? Would this work?
Hope that's clear enough to understand!
If not, is there another possible work-around? I need custom A Records!
I'm in the process of forming a web development business and am currently interested in learning the various methods of offering 3rd party services and accounts. How to offer hosting is my current dilemma; I can of course refer the client to a host and receive a referral kick-back, but the idea of reselling hosting accounts is also appealing, though I have no knowledge currently as to how this works, and I'm basically just curious how other's manage this aspect of the business. I do not mind offering customer service on hosting accounts, so this is not an issue
We are currently looking for Monthly Leased Virtuozzo Licenses, does anyone know who offers this? SwSoft only sells owned licenses which we don't need.
Are there any web designers/developers who offer hosting to their clients as part of their website creation package. I am toying with the idea of only creating websites for people who host with me. I currently have a colo server, but only use it for personal things. So I have no experience with the needs and demands of clients in regards to hosting. What are some of your experiences with hosting for clients? Is it worth it?
I use Pingdom "Pro" (or whatever the paid version is to be branded as), and I think it is fantastic. It is yet to let us down or misinform us. It'll be interesting to see whether we see quality dilution from the inevitable rush of freebie accounts.
I am not very professional in hosting but i am using shared hosting from about an year.
i came here to know what is running behind my share hosting or any share hosting and also please tell me what is dedicated server requirement, i mean what hardware, software and connection needed to make a dedicated server?
After some experimenting with Linux VPS setups, I'm eager to explore windows VPS software.
Two questions I guess, first off, what is the cheapest method of offering multiple VPS accounts on a windows server? Are there any free or build in Microsoft methods?
Second, what is the easiest way of doing so? (Simple setup, as hands off as possible)
I realize the cheapest may not be the easiest and vice versa. I'm downloading Parrallels Virtuozzo trial right now, but would like to learn what else is out there.
