I’ve been bumping into serious resource constraint issues with my 1and1 VPS host… so after speaking with them on the phone, they offered me a server on their “new” cloud service. As it turns out, my existing mailinabox was running in a Virtuozzo container, and their new environment provides a full VM on top of VMware.
Long story short – moving to the new cloud service has made a WORLD of difference! Mailinabox is much, much happier here. I’ve been having status check issues for months with MIAB, and I suspect it was due to some resource constraints with Virtuozzo. Those are 100% gone in the new VMware world!!
This is much, much, much improved. If anyone is still running in a 1and1 VPS container, I strongly suggest looking at their cloud services. It’s night and day! All the “small stuff” that didn’t work before – the ufw firewall, resolv.conf issues etc – are all GONE with the new environment.
And, to boot, I can spin up multiple VMs now, clone them, load balance them, all kinds of neat stuff.
Really great! Thanks for this awesome piece of software, and now I can wholeheartedly recommend 1and1 as a great MIAB host.
