Question 1

SpeedyPage - Anycast Hosting Nameservers

Accepted Answer

SpeedyPage offers a robust and reliable nameserver solution for all our services through an anycast network. Our cPanel nameservers are designed to ensure efficient DNS resolution and enhanced performance. This article explains the key features of our cPanel nameservers and provides information on how to utilize them.

Anycast Network

Our cPanel nameservers operate on an anycast network, a powerful networking approach that routes user requests to the nearest data center in our global network. This ensures faster response times and increased resilience against network failures.

The advantages of using an anycast network include:

Improved Performance: Users are always routed to the nearest server, reducing latency.
Enhanced Reliability: If one server fails, the network automatically reroutes traffic to the next closest server.
Scalability: The network can easily handle increases in traffic, providing consistent performance even during peak times.

Nameservers

One of the unique features of SpeedyPage's nameservers is that they are the same for all web hosting services, in all regions.

Primary Nameserver: ns1.srvcp.com
Secondary Nameserver: ns2.srvcp.com

Conclusion

SpeedyPage's cPanel nameservers offer an efficient and reliable solution for all your DNS needs. The anycast network ensures optimal performance, while the uniform nameservers across all services provide ease of use.

Question 2

Understanding our VPS mail port restrictions, and how to be whitelisted

Accepted Answer

To help prevent spam and maintain the reputation of our IP addresses, we have implemented outbound mail port restrictions for common mail ports such as 25, 465, 2525, and 587. In this knowledge base article, we'll explain the reasons behind these restrictions and provide details on how you can request a whitelist for these ports if needed.

| Port(s) | Description | | --- | --- | | 25 | This is the standard Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) port used for sending email. | | 465 | This port is often used for SMTP over SSL/TLS, providing encrypted communication for sending email. | | 2525 | An alternative SMTP port used by some email service providers to bypass port 25 restrictions. | | 587 | The default port for Submission for Mail (RFC 6409), used for submitting email messages to a mail server for delivery. | There are several reasons why SpeedyPage has implemented outbound mail port restrictions:

Preventing Spam: Blocking these ports helps to prevent our servers from being used to send unsolicited bulk email (spam). This protects both our customers and the recipients of such emails.
Maintaining IP Reputation: By preventing spam, we can maintain the good reputation of our IP addresses, which is crucial for successful email delivery. A good IP reputation ensures that your legitimate emails have a higher chance of reaching their intended recipients.
Security: Restricting these ports helps protect our network from potential security threats, suc
