The Unofficial Alabanza Forums

Thanks for the welcome;

I thought it had gone quiet, no wonder..I arrived and all the food and drink has gone already

Strangely enough I was surprised how little is on the web about Alabanza at all, its like its a big secret. I mean usually you can find loads of folks bad mouthing big companies just because they can.

When I first joined Alabanza I thought maybe I had been duped and it was a schoolboy in his bedroom with an old X86 on a dial up and my money in his sweetie jar

I'd love to come but have been working on a big project for 2 years that is nearly done. I have 100 sites to launch before the end of the year. (It sounded easy when I started)

Next year I will be there, I love flying across that pond, USA is my favorire place

I only sent out a very few mailings and it was back in 2001 or so when many hosts used support@. I made sure they that were hosts and not resellers or end users and then fired it off using the mailing list program. With all the negativity about spamming (I would get about 2 complaints per mailing) I stopped sending those mailing out after the first year. At the time I didn't test to see if the emails were working but I got very few back because of the default rule used by Alabanza which allowed the message to still get thru.

I was referred by Ala's tech support people.

I'm very cut for time today but will get back in here soon to post info for those interested in Internet Payment Processing options outside the Ala network as well as some other items hopefully of interest to some.

This site was well thought out.
Hats off to Arf and his team.

Installed da-spaminater this morning and already the transfer rate issue has gone bye bye, as in a matter of 2 hours. Done.

Arf,
Thank you for taking the time to create such an excellent software to beat up on multiple IP Spammers.

To All Server Owners at Ala,
If you haven't done so already, I strongly suggest all server owners at Ala to install da-spaminator software Arf created immediately to ward off all types of dictionary attacks which will keep your server recources on full speed ahead!

Guess I'm a newbie here though I been in here since about 2003 I think, via an email invitation. I think it was right after a big outage at ALA but I'm not sure.

Just wanted to say hi to all.

Hope to get in here more often now. Planning on getting more serious with the hosting part of my business model to generate more revenue from it since it's only been a part-time thing for special clients and friends.

Thanks;

Gary

PS: Someone mentioned being late to the party, hmmm guess I missed the whole party.

Hi Gary,
Wow, 2003 was probably the last email I'd sent out. I got a lot of complaints about it being spam. Anyway, I'm glad you're hear. I/we look forward to getting to know you. If there's anything we can do to help, please ask the group.

Thanks for the intro.

Hey Gary,

Welcome! I've been with Alabanza since 2003 too.

BR10 · Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2007 11:23 pm Post subject:

Thanks for the welcome.

I've been with Ala since 1999. I actually had about 10 single domains with them before they became a hosting company for hosting companies. Then I got my dedicated box when they changed their business model.

Thanks;

Gary

I have also been with Alabanza since late 1999 We also have cpanel servers but still keep the Alabanza ones too.

jtmneal07, how did you find alahosts.com?

I honestly can't recall I am sorry to say that I have visited many times but never registered before. I just decided it was finally time to join in.
