Hi!
I'm a web developer that has been in the past offering hosting to my clients under my shared hosting account at 1and1.com. I'd been with them for years and very happy but lately they've turned to crap. Many of the websites I host under my account are down for HOURS!
So I went out on a limb and purchased a dedicated server. The problem is this server biz is a lot more complicated than I expected and unfortunately, I'm clueless in that area. So for the first month, apparently the q-mail was an open relay and we got jammed with spammers. i hired someone to work that out for me but I know there are going to be other issues that I need to worry about.
I'm not sure what to do at this point. I'm just a small company and can't afford a lot. I need some good advice about how to move forward.
Thanks for any help or pointers!
