ClosedBSD posted:Hahaha, I want to see the link to his posting for this. I have one off LEB from lolihosting (yeah, I know). It was ~$22 for 4 months. Its ok, if you're wanting to play around. It's run by a college student in China, so don't expect too much. Some random downtime, but the servers are pretty empty, which is nice.

Does anyone know of a better deal on a dedicated server than ServerPronto? AMD 2000+ 1GB RAM 80GB HDD 5 TB Traffic 100Mbps Connection $37.95/monthly For $20 I can add 20TB more bandwidth so I basically don't have to worry about overages on a 100Mbit port. Additional IP addresses are $1.50 a month (only caveat is there may be a setup fee, but it doesn't show on the order page, just the TOS). I've heard some horror stories where you have to fax them your cancellation paperwork but that's about it. I assume that CPU is an Athlon but could it be an Atom-class CPU like some low cost Intel dedicated servers? I'm going to use it as a VPN box so I'm not really concerned with RAM or HD. It would be nice if the CPU could handle a 100Mbs of VPN traffic though. They have an Athlon 4200 X2 but it's $30/month more.

I know there's probably better threads for this, but this one seems appropriate. I don't need hosting, but I have a question about webhosting: Say a guy owns website.com, and then he buys website.net and transfers his site over there. He registers the .com domain through a different company, and changes the hosting to them, too. He uses the .com for a totally different site. He had an email address at the old site, guy@website.com. But he didn't setup that email address when he changed the domain registration a month ago. So...if someone sent him an email over the past month, to guy@website.com, where'd it go? Does it just disappear into the ether, since that address doesn't exist with the new hosting? Or is it maybe in some catch-all email account, either at the new host or the old? The old hosting was a company called BigBlackBag; the new hosting is Godaddy. If there's some way to get these lost emails, can someone explain how?

Highly doubtful those e-mails are going to be recovered.

While a catch-all might be an option with either host, most likely it is turned off by default. I wouldn't count on those emails being anywhere at all.

Bob Morales posted:Does anyone know of a better deal on a dedicated server than ServerPronto? I had a dedicated box with ServerPronto for four years, and I wouldn't recommend them. First, as you mentioned it takes some fine print to cancel, as well as faxed copies of the front and back of both your credit card and drivers license at both sign-up and cancel, which is insane. Second, I was double billed for a while and it was a serious pain in the rear end to fix, since there's nobody to call, just a ticketing system. Oh, and when your server is down, it's just down; no ETA, no professionalism, just praying or waiting. Lastly, and the reason I left, they do bandwidth limiting or shaping on network gear, I was never able to get more than 5mb/sec out of my 100mb/sec interface (the explanation for this was the monthly limits). My advice is to pick another vendor, and more likely a VPS. Seriously, look elsewhere. Why did I put up with this poo poo for four years? Mostly laziness combined with the fact that nobody using the box cared that much, oh and it's also cheap and a pain to cancel.

You will love their billing system that will quadruple bill you. Or more. I've seen one case where someone got charged the annual fee 12 times. Good luck cancelling EVER. If you want a cheap box from companies that aren't horrid - joesdatacenter.com wholesaleinternet.net (maybe ask if they still have any $20 p4's in stock, not likely though) interserver.net honelive.com

One of our sites has 10Mbps unmetered for $89 and second month free: http://unmeteredservers.com/ Plus dual 500GB (can configure it RAID-1) and 4GB ram in that package. EDIT: err, never mind that says 100Mbps on your quote, that would be an extra $80 but its unmetered so no limit on transfer.

Any thoughts on the best way to do SQL in a VPS? It will probably be a smaller Win2K8 x64 solution from hostdime or vpsland. It's a small custom inventory system through a windows communication foundation interface to the DB. Everybody says you want a separate SQL server, not in a VPS, but I'm only dealing with a couple transations a minute, it will never be more than one or two a second. And all reports/batch stuff can be done at night when everybody's closed. I doubt there will ever be any joins more than one or two tables deep, or any other real 'intense' work. I'm hoping MySQL will work alright (with some cache size tweaking perhaps) on Win2K8, because the whole EER diagram -> schema -> .NET Entity Framework Model is slick as hell. Even easier to setup and deal with than SQL Server.

Not entirely sure if this is the BEST place to put this, but my mother is currently paying $70 a month for some BS nightly backup that amounts to an automated FTP program uploading to an offsite backup. As far as I can tell, the backup is about 3-5GB max in size, but contains medical records/Social SNs/sensitive information/etc., and was wondering what a better alternative would be. I was looking into just buying some Google storage and pointing the FTP program to that, but am sorta thinking there is something better that I missed. Suggestions? dereekb fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Aug 21, 2011 |

My client has a bunch of emails stored with one web host. We're going to be switching him over to another host soon. Is it possible to get the emails transferred from one host to another? If not, what is the most painless way to get the old mail archived prior to the switch? Excuse my ignorance, I never have any of these issues of my own and I'm a web developer, not much of a hosting-solution-provider-guy.

^^ back when they used to use cPanel I seem to remember they also disabled backups so people couldn't easily migrate away just to be dicks You can connect to FTP (make sure your FTP client shows directories starting with a .) and browse around to see if there's a mail folder, but probably not. I'm pretty sure they support POP3 though, if IMAP doesn't work out for you.

imapsync. Runs from any (linux) host. Probably better to run it on one of the hosts though for cpu power and bandwidth. Its dead simple. You pass a few flags along with the hosts, users, passwords. It will probably take you longer to create the matching email accounts on the new server than to lookup and enter the flags needed. If your hosts wont give you shell find any shell anywhere, even spin up a minimal linux vm via virtualbox and give it a run.
