I’m just curious do you trust your hosting provider to handle your email delivery, or do you run your own mail server? Or do you use an external email service instead? If you use a third-party provider, which one did you choose and why? submitted by /u/calibernode [link] [comments]

Title: My entire hosting server got suspended because ONE client uploaded a phishing page — reporter went straight to my upstream instead of me. Lost all client data. How do you guys prevent this? Posting this partly to vent, partly because I need real advice from people who’ve been running hosting businesses longer than me. What happened: I run a small web hosting business (shared/VPS/reseller style setup on WHM/cPanel + WHMCS). One of my clients uploaded a phishing page to their hosting account. Someone spotted it and reported it — but instead of reporting it to me (the actual hosting provider they were dealing with), they reported it directly to my upstream/server/datacenter. My upstream didn’t email me a warning, didn’t give me a chance to pull the single account down. They just suspended the entire server. Every client on that box lost access. I lost data. I lost the trust of clients who had nothing to do with the phishing page and are now (rightly) annoyed at me. I know “this is why you screen clients” is coming, and yeah, I hear it. But I’d rather build a real process than just get lucky next time. If you’ve been through a suspension like this and rebuilt trust with your client base afterward, I’d genuinely love to hear how that went too — the technical fix is only half of it. i need advice, how to fix such things in future.

i am looking set up a site for mysmall business. i’m not super tech savvy. i’m torn between a dedicated registrar or just use the one bundled with my site builder. dedicated seems better long term. lower renewal prices. free privacy. easier to transfer. but the convenience of having everything in one place is tempting for me that i don’t want to deal with tech stuff. i used the bundled option and regretted it. but maybe i’m overthinking it for his situation. what do small business owners actually use. is it worth the extra effort. submitted by /u/Brief-Jellyfish8749 [link] [comments]
