Can't Update My Payment Credit Card In Orbit At ThePlanet?
I have phoned 3 times and they have tested two different cards that I know work. For some unknown reason it can't update and shows my previous credit card. I have tried to update from Master Card to a Visa card.
Has anyone of you problems updating your payment infos in Orbit? Further, I think it's strange they dont accept any other payment method. Have any of you been able to wire or somthing?

Photocopy Of Your Drivers License And Credit Card?
Is it normal for a hosting provider to ask you to fill out a two page form to verify credit card and billing address information which you must fax or e-mail in with a photo copy of your drivers license and credit card? I've never came across this until now and was wondering if something like this was safe? This is for a dedicated server with the RackVibe (JustEdge.net) hosting provider.

Jumpline.com Charged My Credit Card Without My Consent
I opened a free 1 year hosting account at Jumpline.com through an offer they were running and never used it. While opening the account I had given my credit card details for verification. Last month I got a mail from them with an Invoice saying that my account would be renewed. I replied back to that mail asking them to cancel my account as I was not using it and not charge my credit card. As I did not get any reply from them, I assumed they must have cancelled my account. Today I was shocked to see that they had charged me $191.40 inspite of my mail. When I opened a Support ticket I got this reply from them: Unfortunately I do not see any other Support Tickets submitted by you regarding the cancellation of your account. Jumpline.com sent out a notification via email 30 days prior to the bill date informing you of the upcoming renewal. If you wish to cancel your service, you must do so prior to your next due date to avoid being charged for additional month(s) of service. A completed cancellation form is required to remove all products you wish to cancel. You will need to login to your Customer Manager [url] to do this. Once you login to the Customer Manager you will click on the Change Renewal Options link under Product Information. JUMPLINE.COM does not offer a prorated refund based on the early cancellation of your hosting account. If you are on a multi-month payment interval and wish to cancel a hosting account prior to the end of the term, you will forfeit any money paid for the hosting account. Once money has been received on a hosting account, this account will be considered under contract for the service provided by JUMPLINE.COM for the term of agreement. This policy is in effect for all hosting accounts at JUMPLINE.COM. The account(s)/product(s) will remain active and continue to be billed unless we receive the completed form. They could've replied to my mail with this information 1 month ago and I would have done the needful but they did not. Inspite of requesting for a refund, they are not giving me one. This is a clear breach of trust. Should I apply for a chargeback with my credit card company?

Driver License And Credit Card With PayPal Payments?
When paying for my server, I prefer to pay with PayPal. Is it normal when I want to pay with PayPal (if they except this), the hosting company also wants my CC number and CVV2 code. What's the use then of paying with PayPal. I don't mind to identify myself with copies of driver licences, but CC is different story.

To Encrypt Or Not To Encrypt Credit Card Numbers In A Database
I am developping a cart for a few clients and credit card numbers need to be stored in the database. I was wondering if it was acceptable to let the client decides if he wants to encrypt or not cc numbers. There are several advantages/disadvatanges for both sides, like the key management issues and lost keys. Some persons argue that if access to your db is well secured encryption is not needed.

How Big Risk Do I Take If I Don't Update The Kernel?
I'm a Windows guy and can little or nothing about Linux. How big risk do I take if I'm using a Linux VPS and never update/patch the kernel? I'm using CentOS 5 and LxAdmin. I can update the control panel, but I can not update/patch the kernel since I have no knowledge how I do that. I'm using a unmanaged plan, so no help there. Some of my sites are running Wordpress, but I'm always using the lates WP installation. I not using any other plugins that WG2, Gallery2, and remove max width. Nobody except me have access to the VPS, and I have no other FTP accounts or something like that on the VPS. I have no other scripts or any kind of dynamic pages on my VPS. What kind of risk do I have here? I'm currently having plans to cancel my second VPS that's using Win2003, and only use Linux in the future. I can cut my monthly expensive with 50% that way, but do I take a big risk doing it that way?

Invalid Command 'php_flag' - After Recompiling PHP & Apache?
After I recompiled Apache and PHP using easyapache from cPanel, we started getting all these weird errors. I'm getting a few people now complaining about not being able to enable register_globals. I believe (after searching) that having this enabled is a big security risk and shouldn't need to be used. However, some people apparently where using .haccess and php_flag to enable this. I did find on a few places that people can create their own php.ini file to emulate what was previously done with .htaccess? After searching around.. I found out that Register Globals can become a security risk based on the scripts configuration that uses it. This feature normally can be enabled via .htaccess using the glad "php_flag register_globals On". Creating a file called php.ini inside the directory of the site with the flag "register_globals=on" I believe will also enable this option. To enable this option on a global scale, you can edit '/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/etc/php.ini', but its not recommended. However.. We are unable to get the php.ini concept to work. Is there something I need to do to enable/allow users to do this for their account?

Any 'easy' Smtp / Pop / Imap Package Or Installer W/o Having To Read Up On Exim Etc.?
any 'easy' smtp / pop / imap package or installer w/o having to read up on exim etc.? I want an email server quickly, w/o having to become an expert... I'd go w/ a hosted service, but I open allot of pop3 connections... (program I use downloads one email, closes connection, reopens... repeat)... There's lots of cookbooks out there, but they require quite a bit more time commitment (and configurability) than I want / need. Is there any dumbified installs available? I tried with webmin, but even that wants me to manually configure a postfix / imap server bridge.=

Qmail - I'm Afraid I Wasn't Able To Deliver Your Message
Basically a client has been getting really bad email problems with their email. They keep getting the standard qmail msg back from several emails. I originally thought this msg was being returned as it was an invalid receipients address, but they are assuring me that this is not the case? Anyway the basic msg they are getting is: Hi. This is the qmail-send program at p16489287.pureserver.info. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up.

BoxVPS = Useless | STAY AWAY From This 'company'
URL: http://www.boxvps.com Their recent promotion thread: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=889733 Extremely non-professional service. Took them 48 hours to setup my VPS. Also had to create a support ticket. And when it was finally delivered, there was no DirectAdmin on it. Specially disturbing, since I actually paid for a monthly license. Not to mention that their responses are very vague. They claim to apply the promotions (triple disk space, double bandwidth) 24 hours after they setup the VPS. I have no idea why they do that. Moreover, they have false advertising on their VPS page (Instant Activation..where it should read 'We don't activate your VPS unless you create a support ticket). A speedtest from the VPS showed that the VPS is capable of bursting to a maximum of 10mbps, while average speed is barely 2mbps. Stay away from these guys. They're potential scammers. They WILL scam.. sooner or later.

Looking For Host That Supports $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']
I am finishing up on my clients site and the ecommerce software we use has an option for search engine friendly URL's but your server must support $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] . My client is hosted by GoDaddy and my host (HostGator) does not support it unless you go dedicated. I need $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] Dedicated IP, PHP, MySQL, .htaccess support preferably CPanel - not Plesk Less than $120 / year I am looking for a well established company like the ones I previously mentioned because my client wants peace of mind and I don't want to screw him over.

After figuring out that TUX has some problems I reverted everything but not this mount --bind command.. What is the reverse command for this, so everything will come back to the point which they were before?

Credit Cards...
Not sure on industry standard here, but I am now curious about this issue. I placed an order with a company, paid for a setup, first month etc. On receiving the order, I was given the wrong product. Which was fixed for me within a few days. I was happy to even pay for this which the host declined. Fast forward a week or so. Still in the first month, and issues are still not resolved. I've now removed credit card information from the billing system (yes I know, shouldn't do it) with good reason. I expected to have to pay another month, and that was fine. Anyway, month ends and I am charged on a credit card that was removed from the billing system. When confronted about it, I was told standard practice. I think this is highly unethical to hold details after they had been removed. Is this indeed standard practice in this industry? Do a majority of other hosts do the same thing? Now again, I am only to happy to pay another month, just not from a credit that was removed, which is why it was removed. I would've sent a check, or done a deposit. I do understand that fraud, etc is very high in this industry. I have a host or two not give me service because of the email address I used during sign up, but when changed, I received service.

Payment Methods
I am planning to build my own site, but the problem is that I still don't have a domain and a hosting site.. I wanted to buy one but they all requested for a credit card number.. I'm still a student now and unfortunately I have no credit card.. Does anyone know any other way of paying those hosting sites and registering a domain w/o using credit card or something.. Or maybe since i'm still new, should I go for free hosting then? but my site uses MySql for database, is there a free hosting site that lets you use a database?

Missed Payment With Limestone
I signed up with them for the 10mbps offer a 199 dollar server. The invoice was due on 30 and I thought they charged thru paypal subscription service. On 2nd, after three days, they suspended the server. Now my problem is taht they neversent a single email that an invoiceis due. I always get invoice email and I pay. Can't remember everything ... So Limestone guy here's how how this thing works 1. You send an invoice due email. 2. Then you send a warning that the server will be discontinued in 24 hours. 3. Then you suspend the server. This is how planet does, this how softlayer does it and this is everyone does, nothing special in this.

Sweden – Traffic Payment We Are Interested In Your Opinion
We work with a hosting provider in Sweden. We rent a dedicated server there. The traffic was uneven, from time to time. Sometimes there was no traffic, and sometimes it reached 90Mbit. We bought a configuration with 10,000Gb. Now they sent us the traffic invoice. That has 18Tb if to count according to the 95% system. And in total we used about 12Tb. We didn’t know they counted according to 95%, that wasn’t mentioned in the agreement, it said only about 400sek per TB excluding VAT***. That’s why we thought that we had to pay exactly for the used traffic because if to count according to the 95% system, which means it’s counted per a channel, and the agreement informed only about the Tbs.

WireSix.com - Holding Servers And Payment Hostage
I had two servers with wiresix, for the most part support was OK (not the best, but not really bad) and Ryan was responsive to AIM and emails. At one point I no longer needed my dedicated server with them as I had moved everything over to my Colo server. I submitted a ticket to cancel the server (i gave 45 days) and request confirmation from them which I never got. AS the time got closer for that server to go away I started getting longer and longer response times to IM and support. Because of this I felt the need to cancel my colo box and get it shipped to a DC by me as not to be left stranded by a host that didnt care. I submitted another cancellation request (about 6 weeks in advanced) and again got no response. About this time the dedicated server was supposed to go offline. I got invoiced and charged for it so I opened another ticket asking for a refund for a server that had been canceled. No responses, on anything. Now it comes time for the colo box to be taken offline... I requested it be taken offline and shipped out a little bit earlier then the actual date. I provided shipping information. I also noted they can use the payment that should have been refunded to cover the shipping costs. This was the first of April. I am borrowing a server from a coworker for my customer who is supposed to be on the colo server. No big deal right, borrow a server for a few days and then move the customer back to the new server...Right? Wrong. As of this date Ryan still has all my servers online, in the rack and will not even respond to my tickets or AIM. I cant even get in touch with him (or the rest of wiresix) to allow a friend of mine to goto the datacenter and pick up the server. The refund? Who knows... At this point I am convinced Ryan is angered that I am leaving and is hold my colocated server and my payment hostage. I have no other explanation. I have attached an image file (with some information whited out) with the tickets and the last response times intact. Please I urge everyone DO NOT USE WIRESIX. If you do, do not ever cancel or you will never see your hardware. At this point, I do not think I have any other choice but to contact my lawyer or the Atlanta Police department for the theft of my hardware.

3rdrockhosting Holding Refund Payment Hostage
I signed up for 3rd Rock Hosting's smallest plan and pre-paid a year because it was inexpensive and after EpicVPS's server magically deleted everything I had no reason to use a bigger host as my data was gone and my most recent backup was too old to do me much good. The account got set up immediately, however there were problems such as my bandwidth allocation and number of email accounts and such were half of what they were quoted to be on the webpage. Ok, got a ticket in and got that sorted out no problem. Then, something happened to 3rd Rocks upstream host and the site was down for two days about two weeks into hosting. They've had this problem before and I knew about it and decided to chance it. Bad decision I guess. A week ago or so I got an email telling me to change my DNS as they moved to a new server. What? New name servers? Ok. I use my own DNS but updated the A records to the new IP's. This is where the trouble began, once everything resolved I could access my panel but none of my pages load! It just loads a blank screen and even view source doesn't show any of my php pages. I logged into the account via FTP and sure enough my files/data are there.. just nothing loads. Not having to want to deal with this headache I politely asked my account be canceled and the 30 day refund honored. I was greeted by Mark asking if I changed my nameservers and when I told him I had modified my nameservers to reflect the new IP's he offered me two free months. I stated that with the trouble I've had in the last 30 days; going past the 30 day trial would give me no 'out' if more trouble occurred. Mark stated he'd give me a refund 'ASAP'. This was Sept 1st. There's been no refund and I've shot off two more questions in the support ticket without answers. My 30 day 'guarantee' ends in just a few more days so I'm trying to get this done before hand of course. I'm -> <- this close to filing a paypal complaint and escalating it. Being incommunicado with me for 2 days while you scrounge up $20 bucks is baffling.

Does The Planet Offer Bi Yearly Payment Option
I currently have one server at The Planet, paying 147/mo. Anyone know if they have any options to pay every 6 months at a slightly discounted price? I have no plans to move, so figured I'd look if I have that option to save money. Suppose it's something I could of asked them directly but thought I'd ask here in case anyone knows or has experience doing this, and whether or not it's worth it.

Geek Rack - 8 Days After Payment, No Sign Of Server
I paid for a server with GeekRack.net 8 days ago, and have seen no sign of the server being setup. Now I know they are just a Burst.net reseller, they don't own or order the hardware or even have physical access to the servers, they simply get 25% off Burst.net and just resell their servers. That said you'd expect at least some sort of notification on when the server would be ready by, especially by now, right?

What Raid Card For A 1U Server
I was building a 1u server a month or so ago to colocate. After screwing up the purchase of the raid card (got a pci 64 or something) its been sitting next to me not doing much. I need to go ahead and find a good raid card and get this colocated, I have literally spent hours on Newegg, Amazon and Ebay and found nothing that really jumps out at me. When people were helping with the build before, Adaptec was recommended, but the card is now deactivated on newegg so I am looking again.

How Secure Is A DRAC Card
Thinking of entry-level collocation for a 1u or 2u 1750 or 2850 server (but not a separate hardware firewall at this point) I'm wondering if I should equip it with a DRAC card on a separate switch port ($10 more per month for an extra switch port). However one concern: how secure is a DRAC card? It would seem to allow you to login with a standard username and strong password, but I still fear it could be brute forced since I'm not aware of a brute-force-detection mechanism that would run on the drac card itself. Is the only way I can use a DRAC card and feel secure about it to also have a box in front of the DRAC card to lock down and monitor access to the DRAC's IP? Or am I worrying over nothing (I'm not very familiar with DRAC cards yet.)

Effect Of The Network Card
I've been reading more and more posts about how a quality network card is important. We build all of our servers from new, quality parts but honestly we always rely on the built in NIC on the motherboard (which are brand name motherboards, but nonetheless) How can a lesser quality NIC effect a server other than total failure of network activity? What signs should we look for and what are quality brands? My first guess is dropped packets or low throughput. I've also heard of people saying that load can go up from a bad NIC - is there any truth to that?

Raid Card To Help With Iowait
I was wondering if anyone has had luck with 3ware 9650's in a RAID 10 to help bring down iowait? I currently have a VPS node that see's spikes in iowait and i'd like to bring it down. I've been considering getting a 9650 in a JBOD setup (so then I don't need to reinstall the whole node) with a battery backup to enable the cache. My two questions are: - In JBOD, does the write cache enable at all? - Would the write cache help bring down the iowait much? Drive wise we have 4 x 500GB drives in a raid10 (soft for now).
