How To Keep Email On Current Host And Forward Http Traffic To New Host
Apr 11, 2008
I'm configuring a website for a client who has moved their web hosting to downtownhost, but is keeping their email hosting with their current provider. They do not want to configure an MX entry on DTH to autoforward email back to their current provider because they don't want their email to pass through DTH.
In order to do this, do I keep the nameserver entries on the current provider the same, and configure an http redirect to point to DTH? Or is there something else I should configure on the current provider?

I've currently got a friend hosting me but I'm paying £5 ($10) per month ($120 per year) which is quite expensive for what I need.
I currently have two accounts- one personal FTP / Email and one shop where I'm selling CDs. So I need FTP / Email / and MySQL.
I'm winding down the CD store so I rarely get sales now, and I don't require much storage (couple of GB) or very much transfer at all.
Can anyone recommend a good host to me? I'm just looking for something reliable, the less expensive the better (Even free, if that's possible.)
I've been looking at Amazon's web services. Does anyone know if they're suitable for what I want? Their rates seem excellent.

I have clients that I host that can't email certain domains which I know do exist.
The support people are telling me that the domain name doesn't resolve, yet the MX records and everything are correct for the particular domain that these people are either sending email to or receiving email from.
For example:
If a user I host sends and email to user@domainx.com ... they receive one of two messages:
retry timeout exceeded
or
retry time not reached for any host after a long failure period
If user@domainx.com sends and email to anyone that host, they receive a bounce back with a message saying that mail delivery was delayed for xx hours and will try for up to 5 days. It will eventually fail.
domainx.com is perhaps one of the largest ISPs in Canada and my host is telling me that everything is working OK because they can send / receive mail from gmail to my customers.

I was asked earlier today by one of the tech people at the university that I go to if I knew of any hosts that would offer some space/bw/access for a website that already exists. From what I was told, the host would not be the primary server for the website, so it would not require very much bandwidth, and the entirety of the website is only 300MB, so space isn't really an issue either (As most hosts now a days offer 1GB+). The catch is that they were planning on using rsync to update the mirror host, with the latest content from the live website, every 3 hours or so. Preferably, they want to spend as little money as possible on this and not buy a dedicated server or VPS somewhere, as that would be very costly.
So, does anyone here know of a host that would offer such a thing and allow SSH access to setup the rsync?

When there are problems with the site, people may be sent to our status site. We just did that, with the site hosted on Dreamhost and it barely lasted 5 minutes (hehehe). Is there any viable host/option that could support these circumstances?
Near-zero users a day but may suddenly spike to more than 5,000/day?

Is there any shared host which can easily drive a wordpress blog with 100,000-150,000 unique visitors every month?
The blog in question has wp-supercache and is quite a bit tweaked and consumes roughly 30-50GB of bandwidth every month (with mod deflate enabled on server). My priorities are good uptime, fast servers and network (especially to India) and good customer support.

I have a blog that gets about 50,000 unique users a month and I'm looking for a host that would fit the bill. I'm using wordpress so that's obviously a requirement, but also I would like RoR support. Other than that I'm pretty open. My fear is just that I'll get relegated to a slow server or have my account suspended. My budget is really whatever I need to pay. I'd like to find something at $15 a month or under but I'm willing to pay up to $50 or more if need be.
I'm planning on growing the traffic more in the future so I'm not sure if I should just go for dedicated hosting now or wait. I've checked out hostgator and they seem to have good reviews and fit the bill well, I'm just not sure if they are suited for high traffic sites or not.

I am a photographer and am currently hosting my photos (not my domain) at Zenfolio. I am actually very satisfied with them and find their service highly customizable and professional. In addition I have a domain and a couple of email accounts with it, which I host at Runbox. I am not totally happy with it, since sometimes the attachments are not delivered, I am flooded with spam and am simply looking for more add-ons.
Since I started to look for a new email host I thought, whether there is a webhost, which could do both things, email and photo gallery hosting, well. In principal I look for a very reliable email hosting. My daily life depends on it. I wouldn't be happy with normal Squirrelmail, as in addition to plain email I would like to get a calendar and also online file storage folder for easy transfer of documents from one computer to the other. Since I send a lot of photos I need a minimum attachment size of 20MB. I look to set up 2 accounts with a minimum of 1GB of space.
From the online photo album I look for an easy (I do not have time for setting and running complex web pages), but very customizable solution. By this I mean that there is a possibility to create several albums, change their background color and password protect them. I prefer at leas 5GB of space, with a possibility to upgrade continuously.
At the moment I do not sell photos online, but a possibility to add PayPal link in the future might be an advantage.
I took a look around and so far came up with 2 providers. Network solutions and GoDaddy. The first one seems to have a nice email software and charges 10 USD for 25GB of space.
Not sure about the gallery soft though. Godaddy charges 4 USD for 10GB or 7USD for 150GB. I am not sure, whether email hosting is included there or I have to pay 20 USD extra per year. For the file folder I have to pay anyway 10 USD per year. Godaddy offers some kind of "Online Photo filer", but the demo does not look as neat as I am used to at Zenfolio, so I wonder, whether there are other solutions as well. Nevertheless, which of these providers would you choose.

is there a known and reliable webhost that offers unlimited emails from being sent? I currently use hostgator and they have a 500 email cap per hour and considering that I have 8000 members that eliminates the purpose of a newsletter.

One of my domain is hosted with a company who has h-sphere. Last one year everything was smooth and I was very satisfied with them.
3 days ago I found some of the emails stopped sending to the recipients. When the visitors create an invoice they will get the invoice by email and I will get a copy too, but now I noticed that these emails are not going to all the mails for example, when a customer create an invoice it should go to customer@yahoo.com and me@mydomain.com. What I found is it is not coming to me@mydomain.com and if the customer has a gmail address then it is not going too. but if customers email address is customer@xyz.com then he is receiving it.

I currently have a shared hosting provider which I am happy with but I have come across the need to exceed their email sending limits (which is 20 emails per minute).
I am planning to run a one-day (might even be one-hour) online contest where my customers would fill out an online form where a php script inserts the form contents into a database and then sends a confirmation email to both my customer and two additional email addresses (Me and a partner).
I am expecting up to 100 forms a minute to be submitted (which would translate to 300 emails) so I am looking for a reliable solution to do this without spending more than $20/month. "Throttling" the emails is not an option as delivery is time-crucial.
Are there solutions out there that would handle this kind of scenario? Or perhaps solutions where I can keep my existing provider and use the new one just for scenarios such as this?

I've been with NPSIS as a host for 8 years. They started out with 2 guys and their wives doing the billing. Many changes/expansions over the years and all went well till they sold out in 2007. I didn't even realize they sold it until recently when the problems kept increasing and the solutions didn't. It ended today when NPS threatened to turn me in for collections. I in turn will be filing BBB and Attorney General. They lost track of my payment for 2 years thru the school I teach at. I had a grant that paid for a domain name and some hosting for the 2 years for the kids to create their own sites. I called to confirm payment before the grant expired last spring. Now they suddenly say it was never paid. They did slip up and mention that they were in the process of converting to a new billing software package. Good Luck at turning the school in to collections.
Anyway, I am in the market for a new host. I have a couple of other accounts that will follow me. I have been searching for 2 days now and I am finding more bad hosts than good ones. I'm not looking for a McDonalds approach like godaddy or hostgator. I'd prefer something more than a 1 man operation. My typical approach with any new business is to google "NewBusinessName complaint" or "NewBusinessName sucks". This only works for places that have been in business for a year or more though. I am coming up with a lot of hosts on my "NOT" list and the few I find on the good list don't quite have what I want either.
My main concern for my primary account is email/span handling. I like to use horde and squirrelmail, and boxtrapper as part of cpanel. I can deal with something other than boxtrapper if it has white list/ response challenge. I am not sure what the next 8 years will bring as far as needs/changes are concerned but I want a host willing to change with the times. Dealing with spam is a big deal to me.
Any suggestions? Like I say I've been searching for 2 days so far and it seems like finding a needle in a hay stack. I'm still reading lots of info on this site but I am in a hurry to switch hosts.

I have 7 different domains that need exactly one email address each (total 7) for just a few months, until I've researched and contracted with my host. I can do this one of two ways:
Get unlimited-domain full hosting that may not be the greatest quality but wins on a) pricing and b) the fact that I'll only need it for a few months.
OR
Get email-only hosting for these same 7 different domains that need exactly 7 email addresses . . . with a host that is a little more reliable but ends up costing the same as the above option because there is severely-limited storage required.
My base requirements are twofold:
1. I must be able to use my email client (software program) to collect all email
2. I need to be able to get in and change the addressee portion at will
This is what I've been able to do with my pobox account, but now I want to do it using (7 of) my own domains.

I recently moved a site from a hosting company to a VPS. I updated the name servers with the domain name registrar and the transfer went smoothly.
However one thing does have me puzzled. As I understand it (and correct me if I am wrong) my new hosting company are now the authority for my zone and should have a zone file which points my domain name at one of their IP addresses? However my previous host has a webbased email panel - if I log in to it I can still send email (but not recieve). This has confused me as I would have thought that my new ISP would have a zone file with an MX record for my email? How is this possible?

Just wondering if there was a way to trace if an email has been blocked by a webhosts server.
My customer gets an automated email when he books online for Qantas Australia (Australia's biggest Airline Company). I have moved them from an Australian based web host to a US based server and host.
Since the host move, these emails no longer go through to the clients email address on the new hosts server.
I got Qantas to send the email through to me which is on a US server also but a different host to that of my client?? But they did not come through to me even.
I got Qantas to send it through to my personal email address (an Australian bigname ISP) which went through fine and I received it.
The auto generated email possibly could be coming through a 3rd party server so I was thinking maybe this server IP has been blocked for whatever reason (if 3rd party it could have been anyone) It is just strange that used to get them OK through the Australian server and still through my persoanl Australian ISP.
So is there a way to check and confirm and secondly if my suspicions are right would there be a process of trying to get the hosts to accept an email from Qantas as this customer doesnt want to have another email account.

We currently use a hosting company in the UK to host about 13 of our clients websites. The domains have been registered with many different companies to complicate things even more!
We do not host their email. The clients look after their email themselves but obviously use the same domain as the website in their email addresses.
We would now like to move these websites to a new hosting company which I have already set up. I've uploaded all the files and databases so all that's in place and seems to be working well.
Now the complicated part (for me anyway)!
I'm not sure what I need to do in order to change where the site is hosted from and NOT change anything about the clients email settings. I believe I do not need to change the DNS settings as this may disrupt the email settings which I don't want. Do I need to change only the IP address to the new server?
My new hosting plan is on a Virtual dedicated server if that's important.

I am setting up some website accounts on a new dedicated Linux/cPanel server that has 1 main (or shared IP) and 5 dedicated IP's. From what I understand.. all emails from any domain on the server will be routed through the Main IP of the server, even if the domain that is sending the mail is on one of the dedicated IP's.
I am trying to ensure that my DNS and mail configuration is setup in the most pristine manner possible, to ensure I have the highest email deliverability success as humanly possible (disregarding spf, domainkeys, etc.).
The most important website on this server is abcd.com. And I placed the abcd.com account on one of the dedicated IP addresses. So basically...
The Main (or Shared) IP of the server is 1.1.1.1
abcd.com is on the dedicated IP of 1.1.1.2
Looking at my zone record for abcd.com, I have the following (My host handles DNS so this is what my control panel reads):
Code:
@ A 1.1.1.2
mail A 1.1.1.2
ftp CNAME abcd.com.
www CNAME abcd.com.
@ MX mail.abcd.com.
This all seems pretty standard, but the problem I am seeing is that when I run a DNSreport on abcd.com, I am getting the following warning:
WARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a space or a dash, then the host name). If your mailserver sends out E-mail using this domain in its EHLO or HELO, your E-mail might get blocked by anti-spam software.
mail.abcd.com claims to be host host.xyz.com [but that host is at 1.1.1.1, not 1.1.1.2].
How would I go about getting rid of this problem so it doesn't affect my email deliverability. It seems that any website I put on a dedicated IP is going to have this problem. So I am looking for any guidance or suggestions anyone may have on how to remedy this situation.

I bought a shared hosting account, specifically for my own personal email account. I wanted to use IMAP obviously, but the host only allow IMAP on incoming mail... And Pop3 on outgoing.
Is this a problem? What will this mean I cannot do?
And secondly, if anyone has a blackberry, will this style work with a new blackberry?

I know this is the Web Hosting Forums; but I'm hoping you guys can help me out with a related problem:
I am looking for a good, high quality email host. My wishes/requirements:
- IMAP [required]
- SSL encryption [required]
- Good, server-side filtering/sorting [required]
- Procmail/Sieve [both pluses]
- Hosting on an OSS stack [a plus]
- No bandwidth limits [1]
- No message transfer limits [2]
[1] I have 350-400 Mb of email stored at the moment, and I take backups. I hear good things about Fastmail; but I fear their bandwidth limits wouldn't cut it, even at the Enhanced plan (three backups, and it'd be done, basically).
[2] I am not referring to attachment/message size limits. I mean caps on how many messages I send or receive in a given timeframe. If the limits are really high (in this, Fastmail is fine), then I don't mind. But I've seen some hosts that have pretty low ones. Subscribe to a couple mailing lists and...poof.
I currently am running an email server on a VPS (Postfix/Dovecot/Procmail). But if anyone has any suggestions, I'd really like to hear them.

I'm wondering if you can tell me something about your experience with a host/server in a different country or overseas.
My webpage will be mostly frequented by Australians.
What do you think is the advantage and the disadvantage of having a host in your own country and having one overseas?
I'm thinking about stability, traffic speed, peak hours in different time zones, customer service, ....
What are your experiences?

I was with Blue Host and their support and service was pretty bad. Servers going down all the time, and chat support was terrible. Then I moved to Host Monster and received the same kind of service/support. I later then figured out that Blue Host and Host Monster is runned by the same people. For example, I opened up a tech support ticket with Host Monster and then they replied signing their signature with Blue Host. So I got the same service: terrible tech support and servers kept going down. Now I'm looking for a new web hosting. I a few people here gave Host Gator some good reviews. I hope Host Gator is not run be the same people that runs Blue Host and Host Monster.

Also I would want to register with 1&1 as to register privately is free but with godaddy it costs around $15 and I've heard of godaddy stealing persons domains when they haven't even expired yet i.e. familyAlbum.com?
Is it allowed for instance to register my domain name with 1&1 and host my site with godaddy?
