Debian VServer in Germany
 

Hi,

I'm looking for a hosting outfit in Germany that will provide a virtual
server running debian with >=75GB HD space, full root access and backup
management. I'm with strato.de right now and happy, BUT they will NOT allow
me to set an MX-Record for the server-associated domain directly. I'm
looking for a provider that allows that while providing a backup mailserver,
so no mail gets lost if my own vserver goes down for a bit ...

Any ideas,

Thanks, Joh

I don't know about all your particular requirements, but 1und1.de
provides a wide range and in my (small-scale) experience is very
reliable.

Cheers,
David

Thanks! I have had very spotty customer service experiences with 1und1 in
the past - that wasn't a problem for you?

Thanks, Joh

My web hosting contract with them is a pretty minimal one. All I can
say is that I've had no trouble over the past few years. If you've
already tried them at a higher service level, your experience is worth
more than mine.

Cheers,
David

Decided to solve my issues with migrating my domain to dyndns.org's custom
offering.

You don't need a backup MX. IIRC, the default retry interval for every
*nix MTA in default configuration is _3-5 days_. Do you foresee your
server being down more than 3-5 days at a time? If not, you don't need
a backup MX.

I've been running a home vanity domain MX box for 8 years and never lost
a mail through two moves, one within the city lasting 8 hours, the other
between cities lasting almost 2 days.

Just out of curiosity, how would you tell you haven't lost e-mail?
Assumptions that the sender will retry do not count[1] ;)

[1] Yes, I've had a recent bad experience about it...

Andrei

Dead simple -- accompany every mail with a signture, such as:

*In case you never receive this mail, please notify me immediately*

I received a manual virus recently. It told me to delete all the files on my
harddrive, and then forward it to all my contacts. Fortunately I realised, and
didn't do it.
