Avoiding Billing For Traffic Between Ports

Apr 26, 2008

If I have a customer renting two servers from me, and I collect bandwidth data at the switch port, and he does large transfers between the two boxes that travels through my switch, how do I avoid charging him for that bandwidth? Make him install his own switch? That's the only way I can think to do it. I can limit other people from flooding others on the switch with vlans, but within a vlan, it really isn't fair to bill for traffic that flows between ports, is it?

Avoiding The Dreaded 777

Apr 16, 2007

Just wondering what options I have so that I can finally be rid of the 777 folders and lower them to 755?

Problem, I run several scripts that I assumed require 777 permissions, such as forums and gallery scripts. How else would images/attachments be uploaded to the server?

I`m running a linux vps, however I`m relatively new to server security and admin stuff.

Reason I brought this up, quite a few of my 777 folders on various scripts had some unwelcome php and htaccess files added over the last few weeks. No doubt malicious! I only just discovered them this evening.

I keep hearing about PHP Suexec and other features, but I`m concerned using these migh kill the attachment features of a forum for example. What good is a gallery if we cannot upload anything.

I know there are ways around this, but I need something in laymans terms.

Avoiding Bad Web Hosting Neighborhoods

Sep 15, 2008

I volunteer with Spamhaus, the U.K. based anti-spam blocklist. Late last week I was introduced to the Web Hosting Talk forum because a fellow blocklister came under attack by someone who turned out to have quite the record for several types of online lunacy. Since then, I've been reading the board and becoming acquainted with what happens here.

I'm impressed. Most of you appear to be sane :-) and there are some very knowledgeable web hosting professionals here. So I thought I would post about a project I am working on at Spamhaus, and see if I could get some help.

I want to write an article for the Spamhaus web site. It will be aimed at web hosting customers, and will explain how to evaluate ISPs and web hosting providers for security and spam prevention issues. We call this "avoiding bad neighborhoods."

As one forum user (phorum) discovered last week, hosting a perfectly legitimate web site at a rogue provider can mean your web site looses connectivity without warning. Hosting at a bad provider, one that has lax or no abuse enforcement or that deliberately allows spammers to host their web sites on the same IPs as innocent customers, can cause your web site IP to end up on a blocklist despite your having done nothing wrong.

In cases of shared hosting and an indifferent or openly spam-supporting web hosting company, blocklists often find themselves between a rock and hard place: they can list the spammer's IP and hurt innocent customers, or allow the spammer to remain unlisted and hurt innocent users. At some point alleviating the second problem will trump the first.

What we want to do is to provide web hosting customers, especially smaller web hosting customers that may share a server and/or an IP with other web sites, with the tools they need to determine what sort of job their host is doing at keeping a clean network.

Obviously, two of the things to be done are:

* Check reputable blocklists to see how much of a web hosting company's IP space is listed, and (perhaps more important) for how long listings remain active.

* Check reputation services, such at Senderscore.

What other measures would you, as experienced customers of web hosting service, or as web hosting providers, take?

Avoiding Port Scanning And Brute Force

Oct 28, 2009

I get a lot of messages from CSF about Port Scanning and Bruteforce detection.. Is there a way to avoid all of these attacks ? Because it tries to figure out my clients ftp or pop3 user with several usernames, i.e. administrator, postgres, mysql, httpd, and many more..

I know a little about internet security.. Is it possible to make my public IP of shared hosting untraceable ? Like this one..

Just do a ping to ebay.com or paypal.com and then you will receive RTO message or Destination host unreachable, but actually the site is running well..

1and1 Not Billing Me

Aug 29, 2008

For some odd reason 1and1 hasn't billed me yet and it's been beyond the 10 days it usually takes after the invoice. I currently have my billing option set to automatically get billed through Paypal. I emailed them a few times and never got a response. Is anyone else having this problem? I don't want my services to get shut down because they can't bill me.

Netdepot Billing

May 11, 2009

I have sign up for a dedicated server with netdepot in the beginning of the year.

After sign up i ordered an extra hard disk and a raid card.

It was not installed as i was expecting and i ordered a 3 rd hard disk.

The overall installation procedure took some days.

The nightmare is the billing.

I had used a special price with a special discount.

The first billing came without the special price.

The second billing came without the special price and without the special discount.

They forget to charge the 3rd hard disk. I had to remember them to be able to pay for it.

They have double charged the 2nd hard disk and the raid card.

They have refunded it.

2 months after the 3rd disk has been payed they are still asking for the money in spite of all the payments have been done from the same paypal account.

The first payments were not possible to be done by their billing interface which lead to a blank page.
Some of the first tickets opened came blank to me.

In some cases i had to clean the cookies to see something and in other cases that was not enough.

Beware of their billing department.

Diana in particular has asked me 3 times for the payment that was already done. The payment was done after i have remembered them that i have a 3rd hard disk and correct by email by 2 or 3 times the amount to be charged.

I pay after all is clear but 2 months later they were asking again for the same money.

I think that they donīt keep proper records of the received amounts.

They didnīt apologize for the mess.

Just one word of regard for Sailor with whom i have made the purchase agreement and that has at all the times helpfull on solving the things with his company.

The server is nice and the price was ok as well but in 4 years in hosting business i never found such a messy billing department.

Burstable Billing

Sep 15, 2009

I'm really confused about burstable billing. I'm hoping you guys can help me out.

I'm currently with Softlayer and I have two dedicated servers with 2TB of bandwidth a month. So far this has been fine for me.

I'm getting ready to move to a third server and therefore I'm looking at colo space. The problem is that they all seem to charge by the Mbps instead of by the overall bandwidth you use.

The bandwidth here in Austin is expensive (About $200+ per Mbps) and I have no idea how much I'd need.

Here's a sample of the last 7 days of traffic on one of my servers

Any idea how much bandwidth I'd need? Also, are these colos just screwing with me? Should I be able to find a plan that charges me by overall bandwidth instead of using bustable billing?

WholeSalesInternet - Billing Issue

May 13, 2009

I have one server with WSI over 1 month (testing purpose). On Apr 23rd, I asked them to reload Windows Server 2003 Std. They charged $25 OS reload and $25 for Windows license.

On May 01st, I got a new invoice for server fee and $25 for Windows Server 2003 Std license. So, they charged Windows license again.

I contacted their Billing Dept. to correct the invoice so that I can make payment. No one from Billing Dept. responded us. I tried to contact Aaron, who I got server from. Aaron responded us and promised to issue a credit, but I didn't see that. I contacted Aaron again and asking to fix the invoice, but he didn't respond.

On May 10th, I got an overdue notice from their Billing Dept. I contacted them again, but no one responded.

Today, they disconnected my server.

It seems that I'm unable to contact anyone at their Billing Dept.

VAServ Unresponsive Billing

Oct 20, 2009

I can't say that I can recommend CheapVPS's (VAServ) services to anyone. In the end of July, I bought a VPS from them.

Had some initial troubles with the set up - they accidently set up 2 VPS's for me and set the wrong amount of memory, but that was solved by sending a support ticket. Wanted Debian instead of CentOS, another support ticket.

In the end of August, I canceled it - mostly because I didn't need it anymore. However, September already came and I was charged for the VPS. I sent a ticket to their billing department asking for a refund, and they gave it to me, no problem there.

I go on with everyday life, until October comes. I guess I forgot to cancel the PayPal subscription for my VPS because I'm charged for it once again. I promptly cancel the subscription and fire off a support ticket.

This time, they're insanely slow to respond to this. I sent a ticket in on Oct 1. and I get a response on the 8th: they ask me for a PayPal transaction ID. I send it to them, and I haven't received any reply since.

On Oct. 15 I tried adding a new comment to my support ticket, but I still have not received any response.

Today, I try to nag their live chat salesperson and they tell me that they've "added a note on my ticket for the billing department".

Billing Issue With Fluidhosting

Mar 18, 2009

I've been a client of fluidhosting for around 2 years.

In terms of support, performance and reliability everything was fine during those years.

Few days ago, on the 14th of march i asked to cancel my account as i wanted to move to a different host because of price issues.

I pay to fluidhosting on monthly basis, each month in advance until the renewal date of the next month.

My renewal date is the 2nd of each month. This means that on the 2/3/09 i paid to fluidhosting until 2/4/09.

On the 14/03/09 , i asked my account to be canceled.

That's where the problems begin...

Fluidhosting says that canceling accounts should be stated --30-- days before the renewal date. This means that you can basically cancel your account ONLY on the day you renew it, and basically, as i see it, they are forcing you to pay for another month.
FH claim it's in their TOS, and indeed it is. Though i can not be sure if it was there 2 years ago or not, but even if so , i find it very unethical they "force" on you to always pay for another month.

So I wrote to support with refer to billing ticket ID and support replied to me most department like billing work only in Mon to Fri 9am to 5pm EST GMT-5. In Monday afternoon, the billing replied said my server is cancel on 07 March 08, no payment due and my billing account closed even my server is still active.

There is nothing I can do about it. If you want detail can check my web site [url]or [url] which the billing department can made this mistake for very long reply time which I not happy wrote to customer service department that I spend a lot of time effort making the server work and also other department for hard work on trying to help me providing better service to me now waiting for their reply.

Strato-hosting Billing Me Over $100

Jun 4, 2008

My contract with Strato-hosting expired three days ago, and two days ago I got an email invoice saying that they had automically renewed my contract for three months. (of which I had no warning) and I owed Ģ53.51. I asked to cancel and they claimed it could only be done at the end of the new three month contract, which would defeat the object of cancellation, because I would still have to pay the bill.

Are they legally allowed to bill me for hosting I neither want nor can afford?

Also, as a last resort, their T&C's say that if you use their hosting for porn they will terminate the contract without notice. If I were to do that, do you think I wouldn't have to pay? I really am desperate here.

IWeb Billing / Refund

Dec 12, 2008

I purchased a dedicated server from Iweb back in October, I was paying 134.00 a month, no setup, etc.. After 3 weeks, I decide that a dedicated server is not what I need, and cancel. I attempt to cancel, and basically have to deal with my account manager only, as no one on Live Chat, etc.. can help me for whatever reason. Iweb has a 30 day money back guarantee, I have been waiting nearly 4 weeks for a refund. During this time, I have been getting overdue notices as well as today getting an invoice that I had a "Successful Payment" to Iweb for 134.00$ (the cost of my monthly service.)

I have been in constant contact with my Iweb manager, who is "very disappointed" in the accounting department and will process the refund immediately. Now, he is going to "talk to his boss," to get things sped up.

Today, I log in to web chat to talk to him, and he is "busy," and will call me when the refund is complete.

All in all, the actual web service was good with Iweb, however, their business practices are the worst I have seen thus far. Everything is this round-about procedure which is painful to deal with.

My philosophy is, if I can pay YOU for your services immediately to get started, then YOU can pay ME just as quick. It wasnt like I could get my dedicated server started with a "I'll pay you as soon as accounting writes you check in a few weeks." Extend the same courtesy to me.

Stay Away From 1 & 1 - Bad Billing Practices

Apr 3, 2008

Last year I tested out 1&1 for registering two domains. What a mistake.

DNS propagation takes forever. Namecheap and godaddy propagate within minutes.

My experience with billing has been unnerving.

I moved my domains away from 1&1 before the year was up. I was still billed for the renewal. I phoned 1&1 and received an email that my account was canceled & credited.

Low and behold today I received a notice from NCO Financial Systems, a collection agency that 1&1 uses, stating I owe $6.99 plus $18.95 in fees.

Going back over my records (I save everything) I see that the Credit memo I received (as an email attachment) was for only one of the domains. Yes they had billed me for the two domains even though they had been transfered away.

Thus the $6.99 allegedly still owed them.

Today I phoned customer service and explained the situation. The rep seen the invoice (on my account) for the two domains and only the one credit memo yet could not figure out what to do. I explained the situation to him three times clearly and he would take no action. I asked for a supervisor and none could be found. I will have to call back or have them call me.

He said they would not be able to credit my account for the NCO fees of $18.95 for the $6.99 they BILLED ME IN ERROR!

I am waiting to call back to speak with a supervisor.

In my eleven years of hosting this the lamest company I have dealt with. Even dreamhost had better customer service.

Zone VPS Billing Request

Sep 25, 2007

After signing up with zone, setup was delayed but support staff added 5 Gigs of storage to compensate. Thank you for that.

After almost 4 weeks of back and forth with support (we have the managed package), we are still not able to get emails delivered to Hotmail's Inbox. Sean & team have tried a few tweaks but email is still not getting through but end up in the junk folder.

At this point, the VPS is of no use to us since we cannot get emails delivered to Hotmail's Inbox (and many members have registered for newsletters using a Hotmail account).

I understand that Zone is to supply a fully managed VPS and they have. Everything works except getting emails through to Hotmail. We have left voicemails and support tickets to Sean (and billing) asking to see if they can make an exception for our special case and do a pro-rated refund for us (there are 5 months left and the first month was all trying to get the Hotmail issue resolved). But voicemails and support tickets have gone unanswered for a few days. Anyone else seeing this delay in reply from the Zone?
