Question :

I have just signed up a hosting account and setup email accounts. I wish to forward all my emails to my comcast.net email account, it doesn’t work. Any suggestions on how to fix this ?

 Answer :

Please avoid forward your emails to a comcast.net address. Forwarding doesn’t filter out any of the spam. So, the Comcast servers see a load of spam coming from your mail servers, and blacklist them. Then, none from the server can send mail to comcast.net addresses until the blacklisting gets lifted. But then, it just happens all over again.

There is absolutely no reason for forwarding email from your server. If you want to receive all your mail elsewhere then redirect the MX record. If not then simply set up your email program to retrieve from your host as well as where ever else you get mail. Most email programs can handle retrieving emails from as many millions of email accounts as you have.

Forwarding emails means that you run the risk of having the receiving account supplier misidentifying your server as a spammer source and then neither you nor anyone else with accounts on your server will be able to send mail to that email accounts with that supplier.

Question :

i got more than 5gb files at the server, and need to compress it.
how to do this??

i don’t want to download, local compress, and uploading back.
painful experience.

Answer :

If you are using CPanel control Panel (list of host support cpanel) with the latest CPanel version 11, there is a function in File Manager where you can compress and decompress files/folders. 

If you are using some other control panel. Check your online file manager, it may have something similar.

Most people rely on their host to perform backup for them. In fact it should your own responsibility, here is why…

Hosting company do backups of your site for their benefit.
eg. if the box crashes completely and they need to restore all the sites
from that box onto a new one.

All of the files from all the sites on that computer could potentially be jumbled
together on the backup.

Also you have no way of telling when they take a backup and which backup they will restore.

Basically their requirements for keeping backups of your site are different from your requirements for keeping a backup of your site.

If you were to accidentally delete some files from your site and then asked your host to restore them for you then if they were able to locate a suitable backup and restore it for you then they would be justified in charging you for that service since you are
taking staff away from their regular responsibilities to perform a task
that is really your responsibility.
