Godaddy ?!
-
I have been hosting my web site with godaddy for about 6 month now (shared hosting). Recently, I am experiencing a huge delay when sending emails (45 min or more). I tried contacting their support and this was their response: Unfortunately, when messages are sent from scripts on a Windows shared hosting account, there should be a 30 minute to an hour delay. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Let us know if we can help you in any other way. First of all my application is not a script, it is ASP.NET application, second of all I definitely did not expect that kind of answer. My application must be able to interact with user via email and that kind of a delay is completely intolerable. When I called their support I was put on perpetual hold... I am pretty mach fed up with GoDaddy... Does anyone else have similar issue with GoDaddy. Can anyone suggest another non expensive reliable host?

I have found that emails can be pretty slow, I just implimented them last night. One suggestion - use a different mail server to the one they provide. It's their mail server that is the bottleneck, surely ?

Hi Chris. Thanks for reply. It is definitely their mail server. I thought of installing an email server on my home PC but that means that I'll have to relay my messages through my ISP and when someone looks at the email and discovers that I am using "Rogers" (local provider) it will seem unprofessional. Do you know any other strategies to tackle this issue? I honestly think to move to another hosting provider. I had way to many issues with GoDaddy.

For windows host, I love DiscountASP.NET. Their service is really great.. For Linux host, I'm currently using DreamHost.

How would someone work out what server the email went through, without doing a lot of digging ? What issues ? We're just starting with them
