Hello Skunkwork gurus,

Just seen Stephen's query on a ".co.ke" email hosting service (Re: E-mail Hosts (Stephen Munguti) and my issues are quite similar. 

We are almost going live (actually are already live) with our website and several issues cropped up in the last two weeks which I need advise on the way forward. Please note, I'm a non-dev and most of the web dev services were and still are being outsourced.

1. Our domain, I got to find out is from godaddy. But currently, our server is being hosted by hostgator ?? I do not know what this means plus I just got the server credentials this week.

2. The webdev we have at the moment keeps on saying the server is down and seems to be using his own. Yesterday, this was the status, no WHCMS? so we need to get it or give him superadmin status???

Files in home directory. 0.25 MB 

Files in hidden subdirectories. 1.39 MB 

access-logs/ 0.00 MB 

cache/ 0.17 MB 

etc/ 0.11 MB 

mail/ 2,919.64 MB 

public_ftp/ 0.01 MB 

public_html/ 124.77 MB 

tmp/ 1.83 MB 

www/ 0.00 MB 

MySQL 0.00 MB 

Mailing Lists 0.00 MB 

  

3,048.17 MB total disk space used.

  

3,048.00 MB quota limit (3,048.00 MB used). 

Okay what hosts give 3Gig, with no ways of raising limits?

3. Trying to get the Cpanel configurations to sort out problem no.2, the guy with the credentials only adds us 1Gig (so we can raise) to use as he's out of town, says he'll sort us out when he is back. The only other response I get is from a colleague handling the issue asking;

"how could we go about moving our email and website to a cheaper hosting solution?"

4. On servers, A friend advised that it's better paying for a dedicated host service such as https://www.servint.net/product/vps/ other than mixing up email sales, domain sales and hosting.Moreso, they advised it's better than having an own dedicated server which can be an overkill (what my webdev wants to move us to https://www.vultr.com/pricing/dedicatedcloud/ ) ??? (words from a Drupal guy)
