Doctor Bombadil posted:They are registered with current provider. I have already backed up almost everything (only databases remain to be backed up) just in case, but I have to ask, why is it so? Do you think they might cancel my hosting too? Some hosts (unfortunately some old SA hosts) are shady as hell. If they think you're going to cancel, they do all sorts of things to try and force you to stay and pay them more money. Always backup your data anyways, you should NEVER rely on a shared hosting provider to keep your backups. Sometimes backups fail, or aren't taken as frequently as you need them to be.

I agree that not relying on provider's backup is generally a good idea, and I have never relied on their backups, ever since a friend of mine got burned by doing that. Thanks for good advice anyway, I'll make sure i have everything in place before doing transfers.

Once you have an application that does this stuff, you can host it basically anywhere and trial to your heart's content. If you've outgrown the discount-tier Heroku stuff but you're not worried enough about horizontal scale to bother paying for a pile of dynos, I'd look at a PaaS like Google App Engine or Amazon Elastic Beanstalk to host your app. Node's a vastly different application model from shared-hosting CGI-type stuff like PHP/JSP/ASP.NET, and you're probably not going to find too many discount hosts.

i know there was a goon talking about making a secure download page for an ecommerce site but i dunno how long ago or if he figured it out, but this 3rd party nginx module looks promising "ngx_http_secure_download_module - a module that enables you to create links which are only valid until a certain datetime is reached. The way it works is similar to lightttpd’s mod_secdownload, but not exactly same."

I have 70+ kimsufis. They are fine. Outside of EU you may need to (probably will, 99%+ chance) to provide 2-3 forms of ID, and potentially get sent a letter by postal mail.

I've got an issue with my email andwas hopign someone in this thread might have a clue, or know a better thread to ask in. The company I work for (as their IT person, even though I have absolutely no credentials and am actully a photographer, but at least I know basic things) forgot to confirm their contact info with their domain registrar (register.com), and got their domains suspended for a day. I've gotten the domains back up, but they're now getting intermittent SMTP error 550 on their email. The email is done through google apps, so the domains at register.com are set up with Lithium hosting nameservers, and then MX entries are configured through cpanel at lithium. As far as I can tell, no settings have changed there. The error 550s don't seem related to who the incoming sender is, though they may be more common on replies than new emails. This is the text of one of the error bounces. We're getting this from multiple incoming providers, other gmail users, exchange hosted through microsoft, and other corporate emails with on-prem exchange. c110.lithium.hosting gave this error: Please turn on SMTP Authentication in your mail client. mail-bn1bon0085.outbound.protection.outlook.com (na01-bn1-obe.outbound.protection.outlook.com) [157.56.111.85]:56880 is not permitted to relay through this server without authentication.

If their email is through google apps, why is that error message referencing outlook.com? e: ok wait no, hang on. You need to go into google apps admin dashboard and get the correct MX settings, mail shouldn't be getting sent to lithium's servers.

mewse posted:If their email is through google apps, why is that error message referencing outlook.com? That was my question... The MX Records all point to Google Apps, I've confirmed this twice on all domains in question. I've never seen this before. If they use Google Apps, why is it outlook.com trying to relay mail through one of our hosting servers? The Lithium side of things is correct, since MX all point to Google, there's nothing else to do on our end.

mewse posted:Could be DNS propagation delay The reason the error message indicates outlook.com is that the bounce comes from people trying to send mail to us, not trying to send outbound mail. I was testing with my personal email (exchange hosted through office365) so we get that error. We've had other people tell us their mail is bouncing, so I can assume it's not a problem at that end. I'll look into if something is messed up on the google end once my company figures out wtf the google apps admin account is.

It's possible it's DNS propagation delay, though if that were the case I'd expect it to clear up tomorrow at the latest. It is not DNS propagation. I do not know why Office365 is not respecting the MX Records.  Also:  Edit: Please note, c110.lithium.hosting is 209.133.209.123, so I don't know why any server would route to it.

At this point I'm not getting any more bounces from any email accounts I can use to send mail to the company, so it seems to be resolved unless I start getting more reports from our customers. I think I'm going to file this one under WTF. Thanks for all your assistance.

From the wrong thread that I posted in:zfleeman posted:The web design/development thread must be on DB3, or something, so I'm going to ask my potentially asinine question here. It looks like Dreamhost is having some deal right now with a pcmag coupon. I hosted with them in 2011 until I bought my own server. I had no complaints and $5.95/mo for a year sounds reasonable.
