    Secure hosting for our main mailbox

    We need to host the domain where we've our main mailbox on a secure server because we're missing over 50% of our incoming daily messages and, since few days, we're unable to login to our account ... We're really unhappy with our current provider.

    It might appear as a stupid question considering there're hundreds of thousands of providers where Hosting it but the main feature must be a good and reliable service to be sure we'll not miss any more mail in the near future, better if it's a well established company, any suggestions ?

    Thanks for helping.

    Re: Secure hosting for our main mailbox

    This is just a suggestion to consider. Why not use your domain providers DNS and setup your email through them and forward it to gmail or?. The only way your mail won't come then is if their entire network of servers are down which is highly unlikely.

    Re: Secure hosting for our main mailbox

    Sorry to hear that, but 50% missed e-mail? I think MOST of the Hosting companies out there (even those 13-year-old resellers) would do way much better than that. I guess if you are willing to pay $10 a month, that shouldn't be a problem. (And I guess you must be paying more than that currently.)

    I use DreamHost.com, along with a few others; and they are reliable. Hope this helps.

His early works include an experimental adaptation of Chekhov’s Cherry Orchard inspired at least partly by Robert Fripp. His totally irrelevant M.Ed. dissertation examines Organizational Culture and Change Management.

    Re: Secure hosting for our main mailbox

    What alot of people don't understand is the policies that the "Spam Police" use hurts alot of innocent people. I've been in three different datacenters in the past year and a half and have instances in each where my IPs were blocked due to these "services" listing the entire class because of one rotten kid.

    What does this mean? Well if your host installs one of these Spam blockers on your server and the person sending you mail happens to live in that neighborhood then you won't get their mail unless the IPs are manually unblocked. Or better yet if you happen to be the one in that neighborhood then your client, friends or whatever won't get yours.

    I'm not saying this is the case but one of several things that it could be and this doesn't have to do with security.

    Re: Secure hosting for our main mailbox

    Mystery explained, it's already a first good step: we can't read very easily our emails from the Web interface but, after few minutes of long waiting we can login and see their subjects ... I expressed the damage as much serious than what it's really, I'm doing some tests and most of incoming emails (not all) are reaching the mailbox ... I can only read their subjects and not reading them but yes, at this point I'm beginning to evaluate some much better services.

    Problem solved just now in cooperation with our current provider, with a temporary solution ...I'd be happy to host it from a subpartner of MSN or Yahoo (their email service is excellent in my opinion) but I don't know if there's this possibility, I'm investigating.

    Thanks again to anyone for trying to help me.
