You really shouldn't use ptr records in your spf
I tried with mail-tester.
Score is 9.5 of 10.

To trigger the email:
This is what I reported to them on Discord one time, after they said in their REMINDER EMAIL "we emailed everyone"... if emails mysteriously disappear from your WHMCS as well, then there are bigger problems you need to solve.
Of course, the response was "Most likely human error, but it's hard to see how when most did get it".
Not that hard to see. Just set the parameters correctly.
How about fixing the invoice system so that the invoice matches the PayPal amount?!
My invoice states $14.01 USD but then on PayPal for payment it states $14.01 EURO.
Overcharging customers? That legal?
Of course not. He need to inform every customer about his increase. At least for many that did not happend.
I canceled every service. It has not only to do with the price increase but also with the harddisk space allocation. He said the system will free up on time the disk if needed. But I run now three times in no diskspace available errors for backups. The result is I need to reupload it. Also resilio will crash and corrupt files. And then I need to wait 2 days for the system to allocate me some GB. I booked 12 TB and used only 1.9TB and always getting zero diskspace errors.
And his solution is to reprovision without data movement. Yeah it’s because it’s my fault and not his. So sorry but you can’t increase prices like a berseker with the argument of increasing hw and energy costs and then do farming which leads to impact for the customer. … and when you complain that you did dont get what you pay for the only solution is to swap hosts without file movement?
any alternatived for private and public? im no heavy user so low end is ok for me. Went from 3 to 9 euro here
AlexHost is €11.88/year.
Their chat support says pubic tracker is allowed.
Storage is only 10GB, enough for 4~6 episodes or 1 movie.
BuyVM Luxembourg is $57/year with 256GB disk.
It's supposed to have stock on the first day of month.
Today is Oct 01 and there's no stock.
Moreover, Fran has been dodging the question on whether pubic tracker is allowed.
HostSlick is €20/year with 40GB disk, pubic tracker allowed.
I/O overuse results in suspension, and some push-ups are required to unsuspend.
I looked at the user IPs from several private trackers.
I see OVH, Hetzner, HostHatch, Oracle Cloud…
Thus, they could be used if you dare.
Public is fine.
We had stock and it already sold. Our crate arrived yesterday and the DC is working to get us all racked.
Francisco
got a bump of 2.45$ for my V1000 4TB, which is fine for me
First Payment Amount
$6.99USD
Recurring Amount
$9.44USD
I guess Offcloud could be interesting. On stack social they have a lifetime plan for just 39.99USD.
a quick search and maybe ultra.cc with 5 euro seems like a deal. been with pulsed for years but this is just wanting people to cancel.
I moved back to ultra (used them previously for 32p until the site when down) as my pulsedmedia server was increasing from £38 - £108.
Worth going back to as everything works without issue, speeds are better and no having to jump through hoops when setting up the arrs.
I'm pretty sure he asked about pubic which probably has other legal issues...
yes, got a ultra now. Already installed extra rtorrent plugins and set up android app and browser upload. Very good guides.
Based on Japanese porn, pubic hair isn't censored and completely fine!
BuyVM Luxembourg 1GB is restocked, but 512MB is still out of stock.
now he consolidates hosts.... I'm out. not willing to setup everything from the beginning again. But maybe the no diskspace available problem will be solved ...
Till you get bump from 14 euros/y for fat32 special sale to 98 euros/year for same one you have nothing to worry. Ironic, that special is only 1tb hdd and 1tb transfer per month, coming down to 8 euros/m, and their m1000 line lowest one is 9 euro per month for 2tb hdd and 30tb monthly traffic. Ridiculous math. On top of that, they migrated to very much oversold slower server than before so no point in keeping the service active.
And by the way... he did NOT migrate the data... Quote of his email:
So to be clear... you got 3 days to backup (in my case up to) 12TB of data. That's ridiculous....
Every file outside the ./data or ./rtorrent diroctory didn't got migrated.
and the bonus diskspace is also gone:
My €18/year 450GB plan becomes €81/year.
The migration increased disk capacity to 800GB and (temporarily?) eliminated speed limits.
I can reach download speeds up to 55MB/s, if the peers are in Germany.
I'm now downloading >500GB "free" torrents from the college's private tracker, in order to gain uploads.
College dorm network has public IP but is not connectable from outside, and home networks are often behind NAT, so my connectable seedbox serves as a bridge between them.
I already acquired iHostART 50GB as replacement, €5.50/year with 25% involucration risk.
The PulsedMedia slot expires on Nov 26 and I will not renew.
yeah, but deleting customers data for a paid service because he needs to consolidate hosts for cost-effectiveness is... well you could call it scam. I was NEVER able to allocate all of my disk space because the system had always no space avaialble and now he consolidates the servers and delete customers data.. not trustworthy at all.
I got new slot that is larger than old slot plus old bonus.
The new slot received 200GB bonus disk after a day.
The migration is limited to
./dataetc only in their default rsync command.You could invoke rsync manually to copy other folders.
Bandwidth within the same data center is not counted towards quota.
That's not a scam, that's just variations of inconsideration.
Thought you were out already? You've been constantly complaining about something, and if i recall correctly, saying that you are out and cancelled multiple times now.
Oh yes, there it is, on this very same page
Funny how you can cancel "every service" (you have 1 right?) like every other week? 
all the new ones are upgraded and faster servers. ZERO complaints, only praises so far -- except yours and single abuse case out of 100+ servers had an abuser, that was dealt with.
If you are experiencing lower than before performance, please open a ticket so we can take a look at it.
Every single server is upgraded indeed, and our stats show quite a big bump in bandwidth utilization too -- all around.
Oof, was about to post and i just realized, initially there was a bunch of nodes which had like 1 to 4 users on them which got consolidated to old style servers. If that is the case, then you will get a second migration later down the line to the upgraded spec. So, yes, there was a very marginal user group who got "downgraded" from what is essentially a dedicated server for shared prices to actual shared servers. These were loss leader servers.
You know if you got upgraded from the migration e-mail. If that migration email does not talk about the upgrade, then there will be another migration sometime in the unknown future. Even then, you most likely got a small upgrade such as CPU/RAM on the node.
Re-read the email, it says may take up to 3 or 5 days. It also reads that the node will be up for a week and to check that everything important is migrated, to make backups if you need.
Every single server is up for 7+ days typically after the migration, and even then we also check that there is no data migrations left going, and prefer to see at minimum several days zero activity. A large number of servers is kept online 2-3 weeks after migrations to give extra time.
data directory is the default download location, and it's session directory not rtorrent directory which holds the torrent files. These locations are explained on the migration e-mail, should you choose to read it.
I don't know what your problem is, but even if we gave you solid pure 100gr gold bar i am quite certain you have something to make drama about. Wouldn't you? Yes You Would Because the gold bar might be 1000x worth what you paid, but it's not a seedbox.
Perhaps you should get a unmanaged dedi and self maintain everything, sounds like that fits you best -- everything is then exactly as you setup and how you like it
No drama needed.
Not temporary, if you got boosted base storage that is 100% permanent.
We do migrate the standard paths and you have ample time to make sure everything of importance got migrated out. This is on the migration email, should you choose to read it. If you have made your own configs out of standard paths, then you need to double check you got it all.
The server had space available, you simply never used it. This has been explained to you like a dozen times over now. (yes hyperbolic, but it really is several times -- on this thread and on tickets, but you have chosen to ignore that too, like migration emails)
You could invoke rsync manually to copy other folders.
Bandwidth within the same data center is not counted towards quota.
THIS. And we do not even attempt to be clairvoyants to know what kind of special setups one may have, also we do not want to be going in and studying user data + settings at all, not on individual or mass setting. Your data, is Your data and we should never look at it. So it's either copy everything, or only known paths. Copy everything is almost guaranteed to cause things to break, and requires more calendar time to test. A lot more.
This method works for 99% of users perfectly fine. And that's not hyperbole, we have done over the past week alone hundreds of migrations, apart from what's here we have received only couple tickets most of which are people not realizing data migration is not instant and takes couple of days.
Ok, the "catch all" migration script is now done.
A few users got to beta test it out, and the danger is that it copies over too much, such as logs, cache, temp files etc.
If you would like this catch-all to be ran by us, and have been migrated as of late, old server is still online, just open a ticket and we will relaunch migration with new commands.
Fully expecting this to cause more inconvenience to our users than the previous of just the few chosen standard paths, but we shall see how it goes.
Well, the billing period is until the end of november (that special service was not offered with a one month billing period).
No. I mention here on LET several times that I (now) had more than one (and two). - and not for torrenting. Just for the disk-space and my backup routine. So mostly 99.999% of the time idling.
BTW, and for the sake of completeness:
I never (beside the disk issue which gets really annoying and ends in file corruption for my backup tasks) complained about the product itself. I also didn't complained when one host was down, because some error or failing can occur in the sense of "human failure". That is all fine and you won't here a word from me saying something else. But this is criticism "on a high level" because we all know you can be great. But not moveing the whole user directory is alittle bit annoying.
Which issue does not exist, if we sell you 12TB you get 12TB.
on your new one: rsync -avux username@oldserer:. .

I like the service, but got confused with new bill
my previous bill:
M10G S - 3-172barbera.pulsedmedia.com (27.05.2022 - 26.11.2022) 53.93€
Promotional Code: 2021bflet-flash-m10gs-6mo - 55.50% Recurring Discount -29.93€
Total 24.00€
my new bill:
M10G S - 3-172barbera.pulsedmedia.com (27.11.2022 - 26.05.2023) 136.58€
Promotional Code: 2021bflet-flash-m10gs-6mo - 55.50% Recurring Discount -75.80€
Total 60.78€
I contacted your billing department and requested help with calculation but got a one-line reply "Price is calculated on monthly price."
If I understand correctly, based on monthly price,
the original monthly price is (53.93 / 6) = 8.99€
the new monthly price (include 35% increase) is 8.99 * (1+35%) = 12.14€
the new 6-month price is 8.99 * (1+35%) * 6 = 72.82€
the new 6-month price with promo code is (8.99 * (1+35%) * 6) * (1-55.5%) = 32.4€
Can you please help me check my calculation?
+3,50€ per month for any service below 5.50€ per month.
Thanks, but my monthly price before discount is 12.14€, that rule shouldn't apply to me
