Anyone got a list of available VPS platforms, perhaps with feedback? I run Plesk so I was going to run with Virtuozzo but I see Parallels don't want to give us pricing and I don't have time for that kind of rubbish. What alternatives are there?
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.
Does anyone know why companies like Level3/Yipes/Abovenet/Global Crossing don't make their on-net building list available readily? Cogent/Zayo/etc have it listed right on their website....Zayo even gives you this downloadable KMZ file for Google Earth.
I'm working with a few clients who run their own data center/web hosting facilities and are looking at new spaces in various Class A office buildings. Obviously, I can go around and call all the providers, but it becomes a voicemail game.
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.
I ran the Trojan scan in WHM and it came up with the list below. I have a strong feeling WHM is mis-reporting these as trojans, but I thought I would ask the experts here:

I'm curious as to why more dedicated server providers don't list RAM speed in their server specs. To me, server performance is very important, and the speed of the ram can certainly affect that.
It also might not be obvious to many people how to determine the speed of the ram in your system. You can use the program lshw...
I have 20 clients who are on different networks and countries but all of the sudden their IP's are keep getting black list in spamhause, CBL, dsbl etc and they can not send email i am so very tired of this,
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.
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?
We are a small non-profit (High School PTA) and would like to sending weekly newsletters to our parents who are paid members and have provided an email address on their membership forms. Although we have about 2000 members, our list is about 800 subscribers. We expect this to max out at about 1500 over the next year or two. The newsletter is produced in MS Publisher and is sent as an ‘email message’ through outlook. Looked at email services – afford them right now.
I am looking for a hosting company/service that will allow:
1. Maximum deliverability -we have issues with Comcast and AOL. Surprisingly, yahoo and hotmail have been fine.
2. We do not want opt-in – we want to be able to add addresses. We tried yahoo groups but I kept battling parents who would let invitations expire and ask that I resend or those who requested that I ‘just’ add them because they had already provided their address or because are not email savvy enough to follow the links! Yahoo groups limits the number of address on their ‘free’ list and you can add only 10 members per day. This was fine when we had only 100-200 but cannot do this with a growing list.
3. Need to way to ‘manage’ the list – meaning see which email address received the newsletters successfully, which ones got rejected by individual’s filter, which ones were blocked by the providers, email address which are no longer valid, etc. Currently, I have no way (that I know of) to get this information. I do not know PHP scripts or cgi-bin scripts – am willing to learn if there is a simple tutorial here on the forum.
I working on a study and price comparison and for this I would really appreciate if you could provide me with a websitelist of the current vps providers.
Even tho I know many like vpsland and I could find them by just reading the forum, I think someone already collected them. If there is a topic just link that in.
Just got off the phone with tech support and they noticed that someone was trying to gain brute force entry to our VPS. We want to view our logs but can only see the last 250 lines or so when using this command inside putty:
tail -9000 /var/log/messages
How do we see / copy the entire 9000 entries to view in a text editor? Any tips would be great. I am a newbie at this.
There are some Download Manager Programs that have a option like Find alternate URLs through mirror list file when giving a file for downloading. Where can I insert such a file in my site so that download programs can add other mirrors to it from my list of mirrors?
Is it possible to get a list of domains that are using a specific pair of nameservers?
We've purchased several hosting companies over the years, and would like to consolidate the nameservers we are using and need to manage.
Thus.. we need to figure out which customers are using which nameservers.
So getting a list of which domains are using the nameservers we don't want to use any more would be a nice easy way. Then we can contact those specific customers only.
Out of the blue today every email sent through our domain is bouncing with the following message:
Remote SMTP Server Returned: 553 Sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts.
The server has been fine for over a month and email has been working properly. The only one with access to the server is me and I haven't done anything. We are receiving email just not able to send.
This server is running Windows 2008, IIS7, and the control panel is Plesk 8.6. It is running Mailenable as the email server.
Has anyone experienced this with a similar setup and can you help me fix it?
I have exhausted all recommendations from google searches. All my DNS and MX records are setup properly as well as my relay settings on the server.
