I've been using Innohosting and they've been nothing but fantastic. Support replies within minutes generally, they give you a WHMCS license, and they do end-user support for your clients, free SSL cert and other goodies at no extra charge. You can pipe your WHMCS ticketing system into theirs, and specify what time/department/etc you want them to answer tickets for you. It's great to have that backup if you receive a ticket but can't reply immediately for whatever reason.

DreadCthulhu posted:Why would Lithium be a poor choice for registering domains? Just curious, for future reference. As mentioned above, it's nothing about Lithium specifically rather it's best practice to register your domains seperately from your hosting packages. Removes the chance of losing your domain if things with your host go south.

Oh My Science posted:How do I go about getting an EPP code regenerated? My previous host is not being very helpful, or misunderstanding my request, so I just want to know if this is my inexperience or their incompetence. If the domain is registered in your name, they have 5 calendar days to provide the Auth-Info code to you. After that time, contact the registrar you're transferring to and they can file a dispute related to violation of the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy.

coinstarpatrick posted:If you don't mind, who are you using for a reseller account and what has your experience been? Does it involve a preconfigured Cpanel? Thanks. I use InnoHosting. They're not the cheapest of reseller hosts, but their service is fantastic. Their support response SLA is 30 minutes, but usually they're answered quicker than that. In addition their non-24/7/365 deparments (like Sales, Billing) usually end up surprising me and replying anyways, outside business hours. (I assume this is because they have services in both the US and the UK, so it's probably their UK sales team responding to me when I open a ticket at 3am ) They also offer some nice services that other reseller hosts don't, such as end-user support. (You can pipe your support ticket system into theirs, and their techs will answer tickets from your cients transparently as if they were your own) That particular service is really useful, as you can offer your clients the same 24/7/365 tech support without having to have a staff of your own. They'll also give you ClientExec or WHMCS to automate the billing of your clients. Another Goon in the thread went with them after my recommendation, perhaps if they're still visiting the thread they could comment. Their website is InnoHosting.com. If you want to be nice you could use this link to go there. They offer some sort of bonus if you refer a client to them. (I'll admit I don't know what exactly the bonus is, but the link is in my billing panel.)

melon cat posted:Question about Hosting and Domain Names- I've been told that it's not a good idea to have your domain + hosting under the same company. instead, they should be kept separate. Any truth to this? I'm only asking because I currently use Namecheap for both purposes and now I'm being told it's not a good idea. I believe in it. I keep my domains with a standard domain registrar, seperate from my hosting account. It prevents the issue from a host stealing/sitting on your domain names in the event of a conflict.

divio is hax posted:Does anyone have any experience with the VPS hosting in the first post? I'm having difficulty understanding how the prices are determined. For example vps hosting like myhosting.com and vpsland.com are incredibly cheap - even when considering their windows server 2008 options... almost too cheap to be true. $20-30 prices for base packages. That is half what most everyone else charges. How are they getting away with this and what features would I be losing. Cheaper VPS services will be oversold more (higher amount of accounts per server) so the performance/reliability may be lower than more expensive VPS services.

A5H posted:Ah this is really difficult. All I want is a domain that I can aim at a blog page. If I want to have email@myaddress I have to pay extra for that? 1. Pick up a domain. (If you decide on Hover, you can use my coupon code BMurfin to get 10% off.) 2. Pick up some web hosting. Most any package from a company will also include e-mail. (Though I recommend using Google Apps for that.) 3. Sign up for Google Apps 4. From your domain registrar's control panel, set up your MX records to point to Google, your A/CNAME records to point to your web host. Here's a tutorial. When your year is coming to run out, you can renew the domain for another X number of years. The price will generally be the same as the first time. (Unless you took some special offer like 1st year for $2. Don't do that, they'll try to screw you on renewal.)

Send a ticket to Innohosting's sales department with your needs. They have reseller accounts that are within your budget. You don't have to deal with dedicated server administration and they use cPanel, so you should be familiar. They'll also migrate your stuff over from 1and1 no charge. From their ToS on mailing lists: 3.5 Mailing Lists - InnoHosting has allocated tools to ensure proper delivery of opt-in opt-out mailing lists and normal email. It is important that you use these tools accordingly. All full packages include access to the pre-installed Mailman Mailing List Software. Large mailing lists, (those exceeding 500 subscribers) sent using the InnoHosting Services, must be sent using the mailing list tools that have been pre-installed for this purpose. If your mailing list exceeds 1,500 addresses you should contact InnoHosting requesting permission to send the mailing through the InnoHosting servers prior to sending any messages. Sending a large mailing through mailing list software other than InnoHosting pre-installed software can adversely affect the flow of email. Should such a large mailing disrupt normal services or create unacceptable server loads, the account associated with the mailing risks termination. 3.5a Mailing lists operated on InnoHosting servers must be double opt-in with specific clear instructions in order to opt-out less than three fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Oct 24, 2011 |
