Gerry Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 It's been pretty much one thing after another with Network Solutions and now the email is down again. I need a hosting service that's bulletproof or close to it. Anyone have an ISP they're happy with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 26, 2012 Hash Fellow Share Posted November 26, 2012 I've been using Bizland.com. It's probably total over kill for my minimal site-hosting and email needs, but that's what I've been using. I have had rare, brief email outages but it's generally reliable.

Gerry Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Well pretty much every ISP "solution" is "scalable", meaning that you get a hundred email addresses and fifty gigs of storage, whether you need them or not. EDIT: I stand corrected. I just clicked over to Bizland and it's two hundred gigs of storage and UNLIMITED mailboxes. Good, that's about right for me.

pixelplucker Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I have Network Solutions too, they got hit hard by spam causing blocks of mail boxes to get blacklisted. Most of it is cleared up now but goes to show the danger of blacklisting. One company in CA will block entire banks of ip #'s punishing everyone because of one spammer. I already brought attention to that to them and questioned the legality of it and what recourses I might have against them in particular if I were to lose work. Amazingly they delisted my pop server #. You may want to make sure your clear of any blacklists. Dealing with local people can be tough especially since most buy their space from the big companies such as NS and Go Daddy. For the last 10 years NS has been pretty good and this seems to be the only major glitch I had with them. Some of the worst ISP's especially with blocking emails is Comcast and Verizon. A while back I had a run in with a local guy that wrote his own spam filter that would automatically report anyone that had FWD or RE in the subject line to SORBS. Let me know if you find an isp that is bullet proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejobe Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 not sure if its in your area but i always been happy with cable vision (optimum) fastest speeds in the country (101 Mbps down / 15Mbps up) and has had the best service award 6 years running. and their optimum business section is top notch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixelplucker Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I remember them going way way back, going to check them out if NS doesn't get their act together. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thanks folks. This is such a pain; we've been trying to migrate away from Earthlink and the last step would have been coaxing my wife to change her email address. But now I'm not in a hurry. I would just like to have everything *sort of* organized someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
