Defects and problems with IMAP mail servers

To be efficient, an IMAP mail server/service requires a broadband internet connection, symmetrical, proportionate to the average traffic volume, generated by users who access it on average, that is, fast enough to guarantee users maximum fluidity in the use.

To be reliable, it must be built on redundant hardware, that is, the machine on which the service is running must have characteristics that ensure that the service functions even when one or more components are broken. The redundancy must also be present on the network connection, to ensure that the service can be achieved not only through a single connection, but at least two different connections, two different Internet networks provided by different providers.

To be sure, moreover, the data managed by the server/service must be redundant too, in order to prevent the last possible cause of disservice.

Another feature that an e-mail server/service should have in order to be even more " efficient " and "reliable" is the CONSERVATION of user data for a sufficient number of days to ensure our customer maximum peace of mind.

Birth of the inpenisola.it service

To cope with these purposes, in July 2020, in conjunction with the need for a small group of customers to update their IT infrastructures dedicated to email hosting uk, to avoid them the onerous investment that was expected for the purchase of machinery and software, as well as maintenance contracts and connectivity contracts, we have created the service called "inpenisola.it"   which offers hosting for websites and e-mail equipped with all the above features, as well as the conservation of backup data for 60 (sixty) days.

The IT infrastructure at the base of the in Peniscola.it service consists mainly of two groups of machines (servers) located in a server farm located in Rome, equipped with the most modern security systems both against access by unauthorized persons, and more modern and sophisticated firewalls to protect against computer intrusion.

How to choose the right web hosting (for you)

The right choice of the hosting provider represents one of the most important decisions for the success of a website and the mental health of those who manage it!

How to navigate the plethora of offers that crowd the web?

The possibilities are manifold, but I will try to provide not too technical cornerstones on which to base a sensible choice.

What is windows hosting uk?

First of all, let's clarify the terms.

We take it for granted that you know what a domain name is (eg www.pincopallino.com). If we think of a domain as the address of your home, we can say that hosting is the building itself, the small house where all the data that makes up your website resides.

What needs?

The first thing is to focus on your needs: if you have to develop an amateur site and share it with relatives and friends it is an account, but creating a professional site that helps to carry on your business, that makes you earn, is another… then you will need an assisted professional hosting service.

Windows vs. Linux

Many developers prefer a Linux server to a Windows server, there are a lot of good reasons for this choice, just know that generally, a Windows server is more expensive ... and the fact that you use Windows on your PC does not mean that the same choice for a windows web hosting uk both more natural and convenient.

The right plan for your needs

How much space do you need, and how much bandwidth will your website need? It is a static site, with few pages or a dynamic site, like a blog, with new articles every day, downloads, images, videos.

The important thing is to choose a hosting service that gives you the opportunity to increase, or because no, redefine, space and bandwidth based on your needs.

Reliability

Whatever the package is chosen, the reliability of the service is the determining factor for the success of your choice.

There are a lot of foxes out there on the web ready to lure you with the best features and the best offers, but when the nodes come to a head the responses are often inadequate (I think of server crash or downtime).

Timeliness and professionalism in dealing with your requests are a very important factor, as it is important to have a back-up service available that allows you to return the site to a previous state in case of problems.

Also, don't forget the presence of anti-spam and antivirus filters, because you don't want your site to be attacked by hackers or spammers right?

Assistance

Good technical support by phone, hillingdon grid webmail or ticket system is a determining factor in choosing your hosting provider: knowing that you have a staff of technically competent people and not just simple resellers (who perhaps know how to sell, but not how to solve your problems), is a very reassuring factor.

Perfect hosting: a chimera?

In general, I doubt that the "perfect" hosting company can ever exist, but there may be the "perfect" provider. Not necessarily, even if you are willing to pay large amounts, a service suited to your needs is guaranteed: a high price is not always synonymous with quality.

On the other hand, you cannot expect to have a top service by paying, say, 3 euros per month.

Probably, the best choice, in the end, will represent a fair compromise between price, reliability, and features.
