It's not that I don't like it, it's that I don't know what I've done wrong. it just worries me that they can take something away and not tell you why. I'm now stuck in limbo as I need to get me email server working before I can close my old reseller account.
I will take a look at vultr.
Thanks
I think you answered your question "why" you got blocked here. Maybe you should state that you are trying to host an email server in your OP. Email is a hot topic and a quick way to get banned / blocked from any reputable server hoster if you fuck it up.
I have mail server for years in hetzner without problem.
Probably he have the email server misconfiguration/open relay
Don't bother with a vps for email. Let the professionals do the work for you. I've been using MXroute for awhile now and love it.
Heard good things about mailgun as well.
I have used Vultr for about 6 years now and never had any issues, I asked for port 25 when I signed up and they said no, I waited for couple of months and politely asked again and they did open it, I used a free SMPT service while I waited, https://www.smtp2go.com/pricing/ have a free plan if you send less than 1k emails per month.
Thanks, I'll take a look at that.
