Web hosting that doesn't suck?

<< < (11/13) > >>

SiliconWizard:
Does anyone have any opinion on Godaddy services? I have bought a domain name a while ago through them, but have not set up any web hosting so far.
You can tell me it's complete crap. I just don't know so far. Any advice?

Abysmal. Someone actually wiped "sucks" on the godaddy sign on their office in Slough with dog shit a while ago  :-DD

I use gandi.net for domain names usually.

Alright, thanks. Gandi seems to have better deals as well. I'm having a look.

Its just not worth touching email if you can avoid it.

I ran my own server for years.  My inbound was locked to "known mailboxes" only.  So when people sent spam to random@mydomain my mail server rejected them.  Of course the spam was being sent from a bogus address and the host rejected my reject, even though they are not meant to.  The result was around 400Mb of mail queue churning and me being added to at least one black list for "Back scattering".

I am still running my own mail server (and have been for over a decade) and never really ran into that issue.
My mail server rejects unknown mailboxes before accepting them in the first place though (which is the correct way of doing this)  - so don't cause any backscatter..

it would be interesting to read more opinions
