They welcome spammers

I maintain a number of VPS' through a number of providers, and periodically (less often than I should) run these through RBL checks. Usually, not that big of a deal, but with Racknerd, it's a pain

I ran across 2 specific blocks this evening on one IP. Not from that IP itself, but a range of IP's.

Having dealt with this (with other providers) before, I know how to get it addressed. Simply contact the team and have them remove the IP from the list.

Unfortunately, with Racknerd..... Well, they refuse to even clean up their network. Their responses indicate that they aren't going to do anything about it

"Hello Tom,

We cannot maintain the RBL list of all our networks and ASN as a hosting provider. The network are utilized by the end customers with ton of VPS hosted in the main node, We cannot manage each of them, That's the reason we sell unmanaged VPS servers. We have already provided a solution by migrating your VPS server to a different host node. That's the only solution we can offer"

By their own admittance, this company refuses to gain control of their network.

They refuse to properly secure things so that customers don't have to deal with rejected mail.

Their "solution"? Move somewhere else.

This is not a "professional" company at all

---edit----

Nice cut and paste reply that ignores the point entirely. Your company allows for and accepts abuse and spam. You do NOT 'do everything you can' to block it. You simply welcome it.

Reply from RackNerd

Hi Tom -- while we certainly do not welcome or condone spammers, we agree with your stance that you mentioned on the other forum, that UCEPROTECT can be quite difficult to work with. With 16+ years of industry experience, I've personally seen how their operations often involve what could be viewed as extortion of individuals and providers through paid delistings.

We have also checked your specific VPS IP address, and can confirm it's not listed on UCEPROTECT's L1 or L2 lists (only on L3). That said, from a real world perspective it's important to keep in mind that major email providers such as Gmail, Hotmail/Outlook, etc don't utilize UCEPROTECT's data, meaning emails to these services should be unaffected. Furthermore, many smaller email services that do use UCEPROTECT, typically don't implement the Level 3 list per say, due to its overly aggressive nature which is widely understood within the industry. While we actively communicate with our upstream to address the L3 situation, we want to reassure you that for the vast majority of email recipients, your server's mail delivery should still remain unimpacted. This is not to make excuses and not us trying to diminish your concerns (in fact, we actually share in your frustration), but rather us just wanting to share a full picture overview/context for full transparency. We are committed to maintaining open communication wherever possible.

For IPs under our direct control, we manage abuse and don't condone it. We lease some IPs from upstream providers, which limits our control at the ASN level, but we maintain a clean network for IPs within our control. Given our size and scale, we've maintained a good track record without major abuse issues. It's worth noting that for our shared and reseller hosting services, we also utilize MailBaby for outbound mail relay to ensure optimal outbound email deliverability.

We're committed to continuous improvement and value customer feedback. We'd like to address your concerns and explore solutions. Please email us at bizdev@racknerd.com. We could potentially relocate your services to another of our datacenter locations, as we work with various upstream providers and have network diversity available.

Thank You again for bringing these concerns to light and it is our hope that we can find a satisfactory outcome together.

Highly recommended.

I have had services with RackNerd for four years and now have 7 different servers and hosting accounts with them. Their customer service is outstanding, with very fast responses when you raise a ticket. I have only had downtime on shared hosting, and it's maximum a few minutes at a time. As someone who used to run a cPanel hosting service around 10 years ago, that downtime is very difficult to avoid.

As my services come up for renewal with other hosts, I am finding myself migrating them to RackNerd more and more. I do wonder if this might be a case of all my eggs in one basket - I've been burnt by other providers in the past - but I have confidence in RackNerd and always recommend them to friends and colleagues. They have some outstanding offers, especially given their level of support.

I would like to stress that I have received no incentive to write this and just genuinely feel that they deserve recognition for providing an outstanding service.

3 years, no problems

In years of being a customer, I have only ever had one slight issue and it was resolved within less than an hour. If you are willing and able to manage your own VPS, I would highly recommend them.

Great servers and fast support response

I have been using their services for almost a year now, and I am thoroughly impressed with their VPS on France. The servers are reliable and perform exceptionally well, making my experience smooth and hassle-free. I haven't encountered a downtime. I mainly use their VPS for email and webhosting.

What truly stands out is their support team. They respond incredibly fast and are always ready to assist with any issues or questions I have.

Pricing is affordable and wait for their Black Friday because they have annual sale which cost $1 a month.

I hope they can upgrade to a more updated control panel, that would be great!

So far, I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of top-notch servers and excellent customer support!

I've been using RackExceptional VPS Service and Top-notch Support from RackNerdNerd's VPS service…

I've been using RackNerd's VPS service for a while now, and I must say it has been a marvelous experience. From the performance of the VPS to the professionalism of their support team, RackNerd has truly exceeded my expectations.

The VPS service is incredibly reliable and fast. I’ve never encountered any downtime, and the speed is consistently impressive. It’s clear that RackNerd invests in high-quality infrastructure, as everything runs smoothly and efficiently, which is crucial for my business operations.

What stands out the most, however, is their support team. Every time I've had a question or needed assistance, their team has been prompt, professional, and extremely helpful. They go above and beyond to ensure that any issues are resolved quickly and effectively. It's rare to find such dedicated and responsive customer support in the hosting industry.

Overall, I highly recommend RackNerd to anyone looking for premium VPS, servers, shared hosting, or reseller services. Their exceptional service and support have made me a very satisfied customer. Keep up the great work, RackNerd!

Thank you for providing such a fantastic service!

Excellent service and even better support!

I have been using RackNerd for my web hosting needs for a year now, and the experience has been exceptional (no complaints). Their servers are remarkably stable and fast. What stands out the most, however, is their customer support. The team at RackNerd is not only responsive but also deeply knowledgeable, I do appreciate all of the help. I would recommend them as a top choice for anyone looking for dependable web hosting solutions.

Absolutely the best!

RackNerd is the bomb when it comes to servers! These guys freaking rock. I've got 85 nodes with them as of today and plan on adding more as demand grows

Their support is very quick to answer and friendly, any questions I have I always get a response back within a few minutes.

Generous and stable resources

Great support, very friendly, fast response, generous and stable resources, probably the best value for money on the market. I had some problems with the reseller account but they were solved quickly!

Excellent VPS services

I can't speak on their other offerings, but having used many other VPS providers, RackNerd's VPS services are my personal favorite. They might not have every feature that some bigger providers do, but the core product is rock solid, is reasonably priced, and has been more reliable than my VPS hosted at a larger provider. The couple of times I've interacted with RackNerd's team have been excellent and they are very friendly and helpful, and always make you feel like more than just a number - even tiny customers like me who don't use that many of their offerings.
