InterServed.com - Amazing Uptimes, Amazing Speeds, Everything Is Just Amazing
Aug 9, 2008this is my sixth post but hopefully one that will make people realize that there are a lot of great webhosting companies out there such as InterServed. One host that I've been using for over two years now, and never had a problem with them.
These guys are really great, they have moved my database from a server to another for no fee, at all! It was all done in a matter of 30 minutes, unbelievable.
They are using the latest technology (in terms of software, hardware) and are using a PHP accelerator that I just love; XCache.
I never had to use their support because their uptimes are very close to 100%, and the fact that they provide you with everything that you will ever need makes their support ticket the least visited page on their website!
I am currently using them on [url]. Surely, that is not the biggest community, I am aware of this but I know another community that uses InterServed.com as well and have the exact same speed rate, see it for yourself:
www.trancesound.net
They even offer custom deals, but you'd have to contact them for this and you'd probably have to pay for some kind of yearly package!
They setup your account almost instantly and your domain is available within a few minutes!
Please note that I am not the owner of this webhosting company and I am not making this post for "comissions", because as you can see I have not posted any referral link and do not intend to.
I just want people to discover a great company that has a lot of potential, but needs customers because contrary to popular webhosting companies, they are actually showcasing the actual technical specifications which scares off the average internet user who is looking for a webhost. Instead of showing "UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH", they are showing the actual amount of bandwidth, but like I said, that scares off the average user, unfortunately.
Spam Filtering
Jan 5, 2009I used to have a reseller account and have shifted everything to a dedicated server. I now find that a couple of clients are getting lots of spam when they didn't before.
It seems that the servers used by the reseller account had some level of basic spam filtering installed; my provider suggested I look for a filtering program to install on my server.
There are, of course, dozens of them, so I wondered if anyone has any experience - enough, perhaps, to make a recommendation.
Spam Filtering
Feb 7, 2007decent spam filtering service that allows you to do multiple domains and charges on a per user basis (with most you have to have the same domain or you have to buy another license pack). Anyway I'm looking to spend around $1-3 per user

Oct 27, 2008Does anybody know if GD filters email BEFORE it reaches my domain? It surely seems so. I recently moved to GD. I turned off spam filtering and don't receive any spam on accounts that used to receive a lot of spam. The only possible explanation is that they kill it before it reaches my domain.

Apr 10, 2008if anyone may know of a server spam filtering product which has these features....
1. stops identified spam at the server and keeps it for a period of time eg 7 days before dumping it
2. forwards clean mail to end user
3. end user gets daily report via email of mail tagged and kept
4. clickable link in daily email report to 'release' mail and send it
5. auto whitelists released mail (ie adds it to bayesian database / whitelist addresses)
6. configurable to work with either individual end user, or with eg domain sysadmin (who can view / help see mail for all domain users)
7. can be either a hosted service, or server software product; although linux opensource server product would be good.....
8. not hugely expensive :-)
I have been using ASSP for quite some time; and like it's accuracy. So I suppose what ideally I'm looking for is ASSP with Bells and Whistles. On Cpanel I'm using grscripts ASSP deluxe, and this already has some great bells, but lacks a couple of the whistles I'd like (as above).
If anyone has ideas - or can point me to other threads (I did a search here already, but couldn't refine my search enough to find anything relevant)

Aug 4, 2008We have a customer who has their own in-house Exchange server. The problem (don't ge me started!) is that they get a LOT of spam.
We've been looking for some kind of hosted barracuda service, but can't seem to find anything reasonably priced.
So... I'm thinking that maybe for a one-time setup fee we can help them find an Exchange admin who can set them up with Spam Assassin or some other *simple* but effective spam filtering system on their server.
Hosted Third-party Spam Filtering For CPanel
Oct 3, 2007Can anyone recommend a hosted third-party spam filtering service for cPanel servers?
Most of the servers are reseller based, and I don't see myself or my team having to enter each individual email address into the service.
With that said, is there any service where you can just point the MX records to it, it would scan the email, and then deliver it?
DirectAdmin / Plesk Hosting - Enterprise Grade Spam Filtering A Plus
Aug 16, 2008We have a variety of clients that we just put on various providers/platforms that we use for various reason. I've given up on HSphere though. I can see the versatility in this but I just don't have the time to invest learning the interface. What is a +++ though is HSphere platforms bundle in urchin--so for certain sites, we can turn urchin up on the fly.
Is there any hosts you guys recommend that have Enterprise grade email filtering. Part of the problem we have seen is just the level of spam filtering. Even with Pair, stuff was just coming through. For those with email in house -- great , as we just run the MX through Postini 1st and lock down SMTP on the FW side.
For some of our clients *with some minor hiccups* at times, we moved them to Google Apps. The spam filtering is just a +++ as much as I would like to get away from Google on the email. And yes, I am aware they own Postini now...
Back on to Webhosting.
I think we have found a couple of new guys to try
For nix based hosting, I'm planning to move some sites to Medialayer. Support or just various emails between them is very good !
For windows, we are debating. I have to reach out to Karl over at Steadfast and or Wiretree to inquire...but I'm leaning on a Plesk Windows Shared or VPS.
Usability is key on the CP and Cpanel/Plesk is just so much easier than Hsphere.
For the *email aspects* that's tied into any hosting provider, Mosso was interesting - BUT just looking at status.mosso.com was frighting.
Plesk Automation :: Use Mail Node With Spam Filtering Appliance
May 20, 2014We want to configure our PPA mail node to send all outbound mail through our spam filtering appliance but don't know where to start.
Reading standard Postfix docs give basic instructions on how to direct a handful of domains through a mail relay but we want to direct every outbound email from all domains through our spam filter.
We also want to ensure that any regular updates to the mail node won't break or undo this config.

ReliableSite.NET Review
Jul 9, 2008I was a ReliableSite customer for over an year. Infact, due to their decent service initially, I moved some of my client websites (database-driven apps) to their servers. But in the past 2 months, their quality of service has degraded to a level where I've totally lost faith on their service, and finally moved to another host.
Lately, they keep having issues with their server or their network or something else. A 24 hour downtime earlier this week, and no prior notification (atleast I didn't receive any email). Their support forums were down as well. And then when the server went up, I was shocked to notice that the database server had changed, that too without any prior notification. All my websites stopped working, and these website cater to our paid customers, which meant a loss of goodwill and revenue for us.
Even after all this, none of the ReliableSite staff has offered a public apology to their customers for the pathetic service they offer now. I have realized that ReliableSite takes hosting as a 'play business'. They seem to think that their customers will bear any bulls**t. Well, they are so wrong.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy Experience With Reliablesite.net
Jun 30, 2008My website -- www.beywiki.com -- has been hosted with reliablesite.net since its opening in October. Originally, things started okay. Bumpy, but okay. There were little glitches and hitches, some related to RS themselves and some with my website. However, the RS staff were always very accommodating and I greatly appreciated that.
However, there have been catastrophic downtimes with them. There has never been a month where there wasn't a significant amount of downtime. I was given three months free as a result of a large amount of downtime, but that's run out and the issues are still persisting ... already in the past week was almost 24 hours downtime.
The support is not as present as it was when I started with them, they are almost never on AIM or MSN anymore and there are times where I don't receive a response to my tickets for many hours.
One look at their forums -- forum.reliablesite.net -- shows that there are many dissatisfied customers right now. They have been deleting messages that have been deemed to critical, often without any warning.
RS.net does not seem to feel the need to contact users about scheduled downtime or about downtimes that may be occurring; in my entire time with them, despite a large amount of downtime, I only ever recieved an e-mail about it once.
That being said, regrettably I think I have no choice but to look for another host. If anyone reading this has any suggestions, I am looking for about $5 a month for roughly 1GB of space and 10GB of bandwidth.

ReliableSite.net - Not So Reliable
Aug 6, 2008Just wanted to put a little warning out there for people thinking about ReliableSite.net for hosting. I am a web host and designer/developer and I was looking for Windows hosting for one of my clients (I only do Linux) to host a shopping cart called ProductCart on and after searching in here I found ReliableSite.net. I researched them, they seemed to have a good rep, their prices were great and they said they had ASPImage and ASPUpload installed (which we needed specificlly for ProductCart, I was even offered the most current invoice or something to prove they had it). I talked with the sales guy (Radic) a few times before I had my client order services and a few time after.
Once we started having some problems with things not working correclty it was VERY hard to get ahold of Radic and support tickets were taking longer and longer to be answered.
I really don't remember to many of the eariler problems, they were not a big deal, but we hit a major road block when the feature in ProductCart wouldn't work (the image upload and resize feature that is dependent on ASPImage and ASPUpload being installed).
I finally determined that it was becuase the ASPImage and ASPUpload were not liscened correctly (even though they stated it was before we purchased services). I emailed support they took their time getting back to me, then told me it was setup correctly and it must be something with the program we were using.
After contacting support for ProductCart I found a little tester script they provide to test for what version of ASPImage and ASPUpload are installed. That failed and gave an error number. I forwarded this onto support, they responded and said they would look in to it. I was then told that they had found the problem and it was a billing or provision issue. A few days later I still have not gotten an update nor are the componets working.
I am emailing and emailing them and they are ignoring me. I finally get a response and they say they are working on an emergency server restore and everyone is busy with that, we will have to wait, they say they will have it fixed by the next day at 7pm EST. I wait until after that time period, see nothing has happened, I email them a few hours later I get a response that says they still have hundreds of clients down and cannot do it.
By this time it has been close to a week and no action has been taken. We decided to move everything to yet another host (this will be our 3rd) and we never did get an update about when it was fixed, if ever. I then had to email them one last time to ask for the SSL Cert to be exported, took them 10 days to get that to me and by then I had reissued it.
Reliablesite - No Support And Server Down
Feb 16, 2009I am using a shopping cart using php and mysql which was setup long back on my account with Reliablesite.net. Now, it is suddenly down mentioning database not found. I have submitted a ticket 9 hours back but not heard anything. The support as always is non-existent and is only available from 9-5 mon-fri. I am very much frustrated as there is no other means of contacting them. No phone number and no one is there to attend the tickets. Can someone help me how to contact them as I cannot afford to keep website down till they open their offices tomorrow morning.

Apr 7, 2008So I've been with ReliableSite for 1 year and 5 months (domain already verified by the_pm) and for the most part it's been a pretty good experience.
Uptime - 9/10
There isn't much to say here, when they say Reliable they mean pretty reliable. I track my site with hyperspin, and outside of the planned downtime (...the wonderful migration...I'll explain below) my site has been up for a reported 99.994% over this period of time, which is pretty amazing for a $7 per month plan.
Support - 8/10
The staff at reliablesite have been pretty good for the most part at giving me support. The response times have varied between 20 minutes - 3 hours (depending on the complexity of the issue). The only time I've ever had a big delay with support was during the datacenter migration. It took them a few days to get back to me, but everything was resolved and I had minimal downtime (a few hours), but that was due to my misunderstanding of the instructions at first.
Site Performance 10/10
This is the one thing that keeps getting better and better about rs. My site no matter what time of day always loads in a flash, especially after they put in the new servers at the new datacenter.
Technology Support - 9/10
I've really liked how rs has constantly been including all of the latest releases of everything .net, php, etc to the line-up. Whenever I shoot over a request for something to be installed I usually get back a "this is already available on your server". They've also installed a few other components for me like JMail. There are a few things that I'd like to see that they won't implement such as RoR, but other than that I have no complaints.
Overall - 9/10
If you're looking for a good host for the price, you may want to give them a try. I'm generally an easy to please kind of guy .
ReliableSite.Net - Good Review
Jul 17, 2008I have been around here for a while, but just decided to take the plunge and register for an account simply because I did notice all of the "negative" reviews about my host reliablesite and thought I should balance things out a bit from a customer that's a little more patient and doesn't expect instant response times from a host that's busy handling issues.
Lets get started - I have had an account with reliablesite.net for a few months, not a long time, but enough to write a review. I just have a basic shared hosting plan, nothing major and have been generally pleased.
For what I pay I have gotten:
1. Good uptime for the most part
2. Good support - usually within 1 hour of the support request
3. Good speeds - site loads up speedy
So now with all of the good stuff out of the way I'll talk about my recent experience with the downtime recently, what I know, what I don't know, etc.
Last I heard from Radic there was a worm that took down 4 servers. Now 4 shared servers, that's a lot, I'm no hosting pro but from how profits work I can see them having 100+ customers on a shared server. So lets say 400 customers without service with their own site included.
So their site was down for several hours, I think I counted around 8 hours. My site was down as well, but this happened a bit after their site went down, so I just sent an e-mail to support@reliablesite.net that my site is down. After the site came back up I finally received a "ticket created" e-mail so I know it was in their ticketing system.
There was a bit of communication via their forum about the issue, not a lot of information, but mentioned that ticket response time may be slow because all of the techs were restoring sites, databases, etc and there were customers that had 3 - 4 tickets in the system (whats the point....?). I noticed the databases were available within a few hours and sites came back up eventually (I think 12 hours or so).
A few hours later I received a ticket response with a quick overview of what happened with the server, nothing in detail, but enough so I can get an idea. This included a quick apology for the downtime.
I later noticed that Radic had posted about SLA credits, I took advantage of it and opened a ticket, a couple of hours later I have credit for the entire month!
So all in all, it's a pretty great service for what you pay for. The few customers that were "pissed off" seemed to be the same ones who made endless posts and harassments on their forum wondering why posts were removed and had no patience whatsoever. When you pay $5/mo for a service, you can't be screaming for much of anything, especially making legal threats for your $5 per month fee (lol). That doesn't even cover 1 hour of minimum wage anymore.
Well good luck to the RS team, I'm really glad everything is sorted (well 98%).
Submitting the domain using the report function like others have done. I will continue to recommend you as I have noticed you're making strides to improve.
CliffSupport Has Been Amazing
Mar 19, 2008I signed up with cliffsupport maybe 3 - 4 months ago, and they have been great. The techs really know what they are talking about, and they respond quickly.
The only troubles I have had with them is when they had trouble getting the correct whmcs login, but we straightened that out.
SingleHop Is Amazing.
Jul 25, 2008I just got a dedicated server with SingleHop and I must say they are amazing. Fast support and their prices are very good. Dan the co-owner is also great helped me set up some things. I recommend them to anyone. So far Caro.net and SingleHop are the 2 best dedicated server providers.
If you want a good deal from caro contact Mark M.
If you want a good deal from Singlehop contact Chris
I will update everyone in a couple of months on how everything goes.
HostV.com VPS = Amazing
Dec 9, 2008It takes a lot for me to be impressed, but HostV has done just that.
I migrated my site over a month ago to a new VPS plan. Up until then I was residing on a FFmpeg shared hosting plan(A company here) which was terrible(up, down, impossible slow access, huge memory usage).
My support tickets at HostV have been answered within hours regardless of when I have created them. They have fixed some of my own screw ups without hesitation and in great time and even installed some apache modules for me. My sites load faster then google now a days.
I run two streaming video sites, a few medium size forums and a couple wordpress blogs.
My bandwidth over the past month has been higher then ever thanks to the reliable service of the FFmpeg enabled VPS. 750 gb later I could not be more impressed.
So, if anyone is considering making a switch to a VPS anytime soon look at HostV's plans. They have far succeeded any expectation I had going in considering what I am paying.
they provide a backup service through virtuozo that does not use your own disk space for free
HiVelocity Is Amazing
Aug 14, 2008I am a webmaster in Hawaii and recently had a massive server upgrade. This was a hugely complicated process, and my host, HIVELOCITY.NET seriously came through for me.
Without any BS extra billing or attitude, they spent 30 days, patiently dealing with my frustrated emails, and ignorance. After 3 years of insanely positive support, they just kicked it over the edge and proved to me that they are the only host I need indefinitely. I have adult and non-adult sites and have required very intensive support.
HIVELOCITY has never tried to tell me "thats not within the scope of our support" like so many other hosts have. (EV1) They always resolve my problems without telling me " I need to learn shell better" or "you need to consider a managed hosting plan or a sys admin" I've heard this from so many BS hosts, it has driven me mad. So I thought i would help everyone looking for a reliable server and post here about my positive experience.
If you want a server thats run by people who care about your business, and show it, try HIVELOCITY.NET
MAUIWEBMASTERS.COM
Amazing, But Unusual...
Oct 23, 2007Since a couple a days I have a hosting problem (500 error). My provider told me that I have a script who is using more resources then the shared hosting server allows. BUT, I only have 1000 uniques/day for all my sites. From my point of view, that wasn't enough to explain it. So I dug a little bit in my stats:
Last 5 days. Stats from my hosting
Thursday : 483 uniques
Friday : 403 uniques
Saturday : 508 uniques
Sunday : 53,835 uniques???
Monday : 75,964 uniques???
Most of this traffic came from : 163data.com.cn
I don't think it's a "legit" traffic, because Google analystic gave me only 11 uniques yesterday and Adsense +/- 125 impressions.
Softsyshosting.com & Reliablesite.net - Installed Components
Jan 28, 2008Anyone know where I can find a list of installed ASP components on both of these hosts? I am specifically looking for items like ASPMail, ASPUpload, ASPImage, etc.
Softsyshosting.com lists the components under their windows 2003 shared hosting plans, but they are not listed under the SQL 2005 plans. Since I am interested in signing up for the SQL Server 2005 plans, I would appreciate it if anyone can confirm the availability of those components under the SQL plans.
Reliablesite.net doesn't have any components listed. Again, I would appreciate it if anyone can provide a list of installed components.
