Hello Everyone

Here are some frequently asked questions about email hosted with REW on our servers at Rackspace. If you are still hosted on the old Planet servers your settings will be slightly different.

How do I get to webmail?

We actually have two different webmail programs.

Horde is the preferred option as it is supported by our server company. To access your Horde webmail go to webmail.example.com/ (where example is your domain name). Then sign in with your full email address (john@example.com) and your password.

SquirrelMail is much simpler than Horde and some find it easier to use. To access your SquirrelMail webmail go to www.example.com/webmail (where example is your domain name). Then sign in with your full email address (john@example.com)…

3) must contain at least 1 upper case letter (A - Z)

Greetings to all REW clients

In an effort to improve performance of Web1 - We have been looking at all our options and we have decided that upgrading the processors on this server will give you the most bang with the least downtime.

We will be replacing the single single-core AMD Opteron 250 with two dual-core Opteron 270 chips. This is currently planned for 3:00 AM Central time on Friday April 11, 2008. The server is expected to be down for 30 minutes or less. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

We look forward to a much faster server for you and your visitors. If you are unsure of what server you are on please post in the forum with your domain name and someone will check for you.
