Hello, I have two plans subscribed with my current hosting provider. One is for shared hosting, one is a storagebox. The shared hosting machine has a mail server and I can configure in principle unlimited mailboxes in it. The storagebox… I’m not quite sure (my hosting provider said “The storageboxes can be used for inbox storage, however it is not possible to send e-mails from this service.”), but the directadmin panel says max 2 configurable email accounts. What I would like to do is to use the shared hosting machine to act as a mail server (send/receive(?) emails, access them with imap) and the storagebox (with much more space in it) to physically store the inboxes with all emails/attachments. Again my hosting provider said that this should be feasible, and that “The MX record should point to the storagebox and A Record for mail domain should point to the shared hosting.”, but the more I think about it, the less this makes sense. If the email accounts are configured on the shared server, how is the storagebox server going to know where to put the emails once it receives them as per the MX record? I even thought about being cheeky and connecting the shared hosting to the storagebox via ssh and using the remote folder as the folder where to store the emails (Maildir folder on my account), but the server doesn’t have sshfs, so that’s out of the question. Is what I want to do actually feasible at all? How about with just correct DNS settings? submitted by /u/iacchi [link] [comments]

We are currently in the middle of assisting a client to move over to our hosting services, he has a few personal email hosting and a domain in Strato currently but we can’t even update the DNS records or nameservers in Strato due to their basic control panel. I’ve reached out to them by email but heard nothing back but I know they are part of IONOS and we need to get this resolved quickly since the client currently has no emails. Has anyone had any success going through any other routes who have used Strato in the past? I just need to be able to speak to someone.. submitted by /u/EspressoBoost [link] [comments]

I’ve used shared hosting up until now and due to increase in site traffic I’m switching to VPS but managed services costs.. 50-100 dollars while the server is around 10 dollars, For those of you who’ve switched, do you feel like it saves enough time to justify the extra cost, or do you still end up doing most of the work yourself? I guess with AI it’s a lot simpler to manage and be aware of the Linux commands, but I’m worried my site will crash and I won’t know why. submitted by /u/PromotionFuzzy1819 [link] [comments]

i have like 5 domains now and managing them across different registrars is getting messy. want to consolidate everything into one place. one dashboard. one login. consistent pricing. some registrars give discounts for bulk domains. others have better management interfaces. im not hosting anything with them. just pure domain management. whats the best registrar for managing multiple domains. easy interface. fair pricing. good support. i also want to be able to transfer them out easily if i ever decide to leave. any recommendations. submitted by /u/Impossible_Cable_420 [link] [comments]

After setting up my server, I found that the hosting panel lacked several features that I personally expected, and overall the service did not meet my requirements. Because of this, I decided to request a refund. The support team agreed to refund me and informed me that it would be processed by the following evening. However, after the promised time passed, I received no update despite multiple follow-ups, and my messages went unanswered while staff members were active on Discord. After repeated attempts to get a response, I informed them that if I did not receive either my refund or a valid update, I would escalate the matter through my payment provider and other appropriate channels. Shortly afterward, my refund was processed. I appreciate that they ultimately honored the refund. However, the interaction ended in a way that I found highly unprofessional. After processing the refund, a support staff member replied: I believe customers should be treated respectfully, regardless of whether they decide to keep a service or request a refund. My experience: Refund was processed later than the promised timeframe. Communication after the refund request was poor, with little to no updates. Support became responsive only after I mentioned escalating the issue. A staff member used insulting language after completing the refund. In my personal opinion, the hosting panel lacked several features I expected, and the overall service did not meet my requirements. To be fair, I did receive my full refund, and I appreciate that the company eventually processed it. However, the delayed communication and the unprofessional behavior from support left a negative impression. Based on my personal experience, I would not choose VajraHost again, and I recommend that anyone considering their services evaluate all available options and read recent customer experiences before making a purchase. Purchase Date: 1 August 2026 Amount Paid: ₹219 Refund Status: Refunded in full Refund Delayed, Poor Communication, and Unprofessional Support – My Experience with VajraHost submitted by /u/maximum-you32 [link] [comments]
