No doubt, Gmail has the most reliable infrastructure to support its webmail access compared to other free Webmail service providers. Not to mention the most user-friendly interface and unlimited mailbox!
On a recent ISP interruption that happens to affect all international connection (outside Malayia), Gmail seems to be the only one who survive from this. I believe this must be something to do with their cross-nation infrastructure with high dedundancy support!
So, how to make your Gmail to be able to send out email that look like your business email?
Login to your Gmail. Go to Settings and select Accounts. Choose ‘Add another email address’.
Enter the email address you wish it to appear in your recipients’ From field when receiving your email. Please remember, if you want to receive the reply via your Gmail too, you need to enable the forwarding of your business email to Gmail as well!

Plato Capital use Register.com’s DNS servers. We suspect both DNS servers are geographically not located in dispersed locations.
Plato Capital subscribes to Malaysia based email hosting service provider. Only 1 Mail Exchange (MX) record found. If the primary mail server is down or unreachable, there is a chance that mail may have troubles reaching you. In the past, mailservers would usually re-try E-mail for up to 48 hours. But many now only re-try for a couple of hours.
The current uptime report for Plato Capital mail server is acceptable. Current Webmail software might be an upgrade for improve email management.

1. It is quite confusing to have website’s domain name as www.guitarcollection.com.my and at the same time the email domain as guitar-collection.com.my, with the ‘-’ in it. It has always been a good practice to have one single domain for both web and email services.
2. Both DNS servers for guitar-collection.com.my are probably at the same physical location or data centre. In the event where the data centre is down, there is no redundancy support for DNS service.
3. One of the DNS server does not respond. This will worsen the situation because there will only be one DNS server working.
4. Apparently, the web and email servers are located in the same server. Due to the complexity of emails today (Spam control, webmail access, virus filtering, etc), it is not ideal to setup both services using just one single server. Obviously, this also shows that the server is without load-balancing or dedundancy support. Afterall, there is only one Mail Exchange (MX) record found!
P/S. Both guitar-collection.com.my and guitarcollection.com.my are pointing to a same website. They should have decided on one of the domain as the official domain, and direct the other to it using Redirect 301 method to accumulate PageRank values.
