Can someone recommend a VPS host that would have IP addresses that have
a good reputation with Google systems?
Many good ones, and many bad ones...
Main thing is to work with a provider that has a tight sign-up policy,
some of the ones that allow anyone to auto sign-up for a couple bucks a
month are bound to get burned by fly by nighters, and have a poor
reputation.
Ask if they provide 'rwhois' (or SWIP if you get enough IP(s)), so that
your IP address is clearly labelled as being operated by yourself, that
is helpful, so if someone in the neighbouring IP(s) is spamming, you
don't get their reputation.
Personal opinion? The VPS providers charging the higher rates have
better reputations :) They can afford to invest in keeping their
reputation cleaner.
And use one that is demographically suited, choosing a VPS provider in
another part of the world, is not always the best choice.
And use something like MXToolbox or HetrixTools to check the company out
before you sign-up.
Spot checking IP(s) across their ranges might give you an idea of how
likely you will be treated as suspect..
And lastly, monitor outbound activity yourself.. don't wait for
complaints, the world has largely given up trying to 'report' email to
abuse channels, while feedback loops are a valuable tool, it is harder
to clear your reputation than to keep it clean in the first place.
Be honest with yourself, if you can't monitor the outbound activity
yourself, then maybe you have to pay the extra money to go with a
provider that will, but make sure it is one that gives you dedicated
IP(s), clear PTR records and sending practices, and not part of a
'shared' service.
