I need a hosting provider

I couldn't find a specific section for hosting, so here it is.

I have millions of email addresses and I need a good hosting provider, preferably somewhere in Europe rather than in Afghanistan or Azerbaijan... My current hosting provider can not handle my current marketing campaigns.

Virtual IP providers area big plus too.

Thank you.

    Can't you get a dedicated server to handle your load? You can get that most places that I have seen. I use Hostgator and they provide it, but they are in Texas, so they might not suit you.

    If you get a dedicated server, you could have multiple IP addresses if you give them a good reason. That is what I would do in your situation. I am no expert, so I might have misunderstood something.

      I have a dedicated server and no, they're not able to handle 20 million emails unfortunately.

        Well if you are doing that kind of volume, why don't you just by your own servers? Notice I said, servers, not server. That was what I understood the bulk mail spammers were doing when I participated in a spam forum. Interesting stuff, but it went out of business, so I can't access it any more.

    So you're mass spamming people and you're looking for help in the WF for hosting providers? I was going to offer my hosting services but I guess not...

    Fellow Warrior, John Pawlett offers hosting.
    I can vouch for the fact that he also offers great personal service.

    For european hosting try servage - loads of space and bandwidth.

    I think what you mean is that you are looking for server that can handle bulk emailing campaign? search the google for that keyword or try Bullet Proof Hosting , but it's more expensive than a regular hosting. Btw i hope you don't use it to spamming others

    2x4.ru (russia), wrzhost (neatherlands & hk), shinjiru (malaysia & singapore)

    there are many others but i've used these before.

    2x4 will work with you on just about anything, just get on ICQ and tell them exactly what you need to do and they will tell you how much and put together a package for you. but you may pay a little more for them

    back when i used shijiru they blew me away with their support they would respond quickly and stay on top of my problems until they were resolved. my only problem with them is that there were so many hops between me and them that the latency was horrible when i tried to ssh in to it they eventually moved me to a neatherlands server but i was on a vps plan and i believe they only have dedi's in asia

    wrzhost was pretty good all around. no problems i only used them for about six months or so

    like i said there are a bunch more hosts like this out there but these 3 i have experience with so i can recommend.

    You're going to need a VPS or dedicated server plan which allows for sending mass email. Shared hosting plans won't do it.

    Someone recommended 1&1 since it's European, but watch out. I would never recommend 1&1 to anyone, even someone whose demise I wished to see. They have atrocious service, continue to bill you for services you thought you had cancelled, and make it virtually impossible for you to cancel any of their services (including domain renewals).

    I would have to agree that HostGator is by far the best. They utilize The Planet, a huge farm down in Texas. You might also consider contacting The Planet directly if you have specific needs for a dedicated server and connection. That might be your best bet.
