Hi,
Few people emailed me about the Static IP - seems that I didn't explain myself
well...
When I talked to Internet Zahav and they asked 99$ for a fixed IP - it was 99$
per month!.
Now - I want this IP for one of my machines at home - so it could be a
web/mail/ftp/ssh server - I usually get around 300-400 emails daily (I'm
subscribed to lots of open source projects)..
Indeed, Actcom gives a fixed IP, but The technical support there doesn't really
understand the ADSL issue. When I'm getting a fixed IP from them - I need the
default gateway and subnet mask - and they failed to give it. They also
mentioned that when you move your ADSL to another location - your IP will be
changed. Thanks - but no thanks.
The other problem with Actcom is their ADSL bandwidth - 2 Megabit. Just a small
reminder - Bezeq give you a 2 Megabit connection at home with ADSL - so 2 Mbit
connection to several hundreds ADSL modems doesn't sound to me that good... - I
hope they'll raise their capacity soon (and lower their price - 50$ after 2
months with that small bandwidth they got? they got to be kidding..)
Netvision - so far, no official word about ADSL subscription yet. I heard about
some experiments their making, but you still cannot buy subscription services..
Bezeq Benleumi - nice bandwidth outside Israel, and very bad connection within
IIX (I've been bugging them for this problem for a year now - so far - no
solution from them yet). They do, however - sell a fixed IP for $7 a month.
Now, with this situation - I would like to ask: does anyone have a comment or 2
about using mail server with dynamic IP and a dynamic DNS registeration service
(a.k.a DYNDNS.ORG, DYNIP.COM)? is it pretty reliable?
Also, anyone knows who offers a mail relay service? (I mean a service that in
case my mail server is dead due to disconnection - another mail server will get
the mail until the other mail server is up)..
Thanks,
