| Posted by alexjackson, 07-07-2004, 09:13 AM | | Recently my stupid host went down.
All my mails went missing and i received lots of phone call from my clients.
I got so pissed I went to look for backup mail servers and DNS solutions
There are a few companies offering backup mx and DNS, I found:
Microtech - http://www.microtech.co.gg/dns/email_server.php
ServerAddress - http://www.serveraddress.com/
DNSmadeeasy - http://www.dnsmadeeasy.com/s0306/prod/mailbk.html
DNSExit - http://www.dnsexit.com/Direct.sv?cmd=backupMx
I don't really have volume yet, so I chose server address..I'm pretty satisfied with their service so far. 20+ domains with them, and so far no complaints. They're the cheapest around too i think, based on my volume.
Be safe or sorry, just my 2cents.
Please let me and everyone know if theres are any cheap and good backup host if you do find them ard. Thanks!
Guess everyone have came across this kind of downtime experience.

In your case, you run your server, thus spreading your DNS entries is easier.

| Posted by alexjackson, 07-07-2004, 12:40 PM | | Hmm, maybe more personal experience would be prefered.
How long have you tried them, how good and easy to use their services are.

| Posted by NeoGen, 07-07-2004, 01:00 PM | | Well I am not with DDI for a long time, its just couple of days. But so far I am having good experience with them.
In terms of their services, to me its seem pretty cool. The response time is excellent. Tickets are answered within 30 Minutes to max 5-6 Hrs. I remember 30 minutes is the one related to error that I faced with mysql. The 6 hour one was the one, when I was seeking some information on private name servers.

May consider them maybe later in the year.
Rather new company though, keep us informed on their services.
