Cirtexhosting What A Bad Start
May 22, 2008
I bought hosting from cirtexhosting 4 days ago after I read his post in the advertising forum. Paid for a year up front thinking that they should be an ok company. But, I was wrong. Over the pass 4 days their milky server is totally unusable. In the cpanel server status page, cpsrvd, mysql (4.1.22-standard-log), clamd, ftpd, antirelayd, httpd (1.3.41 (Unix)) are all in red color, I guess that means they are down? Cronjob also doesnt work. I sent them tickets the pass few days. Tickets regarding billing is answered within an hour which means they are very good at collecting money. But support ticket answered with "this ticket requires the managament, and are being left unanswered for over 24 hours. Their live support is completely useless , been waiting for 15 to 20 min no one answers. So what, should I be asking for refund? I read some reviews about them on this forum, and they are not suppose to be this bad?

I would like to know about cirtexhosting company from its clients. I found this company attarctive by the offered deals, and currently I am looking for somebody to tell me if this company is really worth of getting an account from. I mean how's their shared hosting quality? The pre sales support looks to be fast and informative, but how about customer support?

so i've used cirtexhosting's economy package for 7 months.
it was running ffmpeg, using bandwiths in terabytes....of course this shared server, it will have problems. got suspended several times.
compared to Asmallorange (1~2 year):
- sftp, SSH, always disconnects and very unstable. asmallorange never did this.
- frequent downtimes. (tickets submitted number in couple hundreds) the longest downtime was 2 days. they gave 1 month credit for this tho.
bottom-line: if your just starting out, dont wanna pay a lot, they were great, other than the problem with SSH and sftp but dont expect too much, because its a shared host after all.
Satisfaction out of
now i hope they give money back now that i moved to new host.

Frustrastion w. CirtexHosting [negative review]
G'day everybody!
I actually stumbled onto this site in the search for a new hosting option...
My current site dare2go.com is hosted with cirtexhosting for nearly 3 years. During this time I had occasional problems with downtime and slow responses from support, but nothing like now. Since the hosting is cheap and my site a small (non-profit) travelogue I never really bothered too much...
Now I am battling for almost a week a problem with them which should actually be a simple one. I want to install a forum, and after some research decided on SMF from simplemachines. So on Monday I downloaded it, unpacked it and uploaded it via FTP. Upon first tests all actions (like admin changes, registration of new user, etc.) in the new program crashed - 403 error forbidden. For that day I gave up.
Next morning I went back, checking all permissions (Chmod, etc.) with no change of the problem; finally I posted a question about my problem on the simplemachines forum - nobody could help me...
The rest of this day I couldn't do much due to power outages.
Wednesday I went back to check everything but no changes - still every action resulted in a 403 error.
So I decided to try another forum software, MyBB, downloaded this, unpacked and installed it, and already upon log-in had exactly the same 403 error.
So I finally decided to contact the support explaining the problem and pointing to my suspicion that it was some kind of php permission error. Even the header of my support request read "permission problems at 'dare2go.com'" (Years ago I used to earn some money from websites, had my own dedicated server with better access to php features. Back then I had to install other scripts - so I know a little - not much - GRIN. But I don't like to bother support for issues which turn out to be my own stupidity, hence my late cry for help...)
A reply to this enquiry arrived after nearly 90 minutes and didn't reach me until the next morning. Support had decided to alter my .htaccess file resulting in my entire website being down (only a directory listing being displayed) - great
So this day I tried first to look into this problem, and then decided to poke a little more through CPanel (where I had looked several times before in an effort to solve my problem - never really used it before) - in Fantastico I discovered an auto-install of exactly the same version of SMF which I had installed on Monday - I decided to run this (into a third directory for a forum), and upon starting this install I soon received exactly the same 403 error.
In the meantime more emails went back and forth between support and me - the time span between them getting longer and longer.
Finally today I received this answer:
Quote:
Sorry for the inconvenience, mod_security found some session attack from your script. Please upgrade your script with latest and then check it, otherwise upgrade your cirtex plan to VPS or Dedicated server. For more information hostv.com
This is not a solution!
Virtual or dedicated hosting are way beyond my means and my needs! After all: the last install from Fantastico is exactly the version they are offering as a free option for my account, and cirtexhosting's front page states in bright orange "We Host Forums".
My last email from around 5 hours ago (cc to sales-at-cirtex.com) remains unanswered. 24/7 support doesn't mean I should have to wait a day for a reply...
An ANGRY Juergen
I am traveling and have only limited internet access - hence this issue is even more pressing. Next week I have to move on because my visa in Paraguay is expiring soon - and all time seems to be wasted...

The first month was bad!
Uptime: 97,1%
Server and Network Speed: 2/10
So I asked to move to another server! They moved all promptly (with my data). My reviews on the new server:
Support: 9/10 always.Got answer also after 5min.
Uptime: 99.99%
Server and Network Speed: Great speed from Italy Now. You can test it.
Now my site is about 400 visitors/day using video script. It's ok for now.
Overall? Ok.

Recently left a big corporate job and started my own consulting firm in the area of human resources/employee benefits. Right now, my technology consists of a laptop with online backup through Carbonite. I am ILLITERATE when it comes to technology, so bear with me please....
BackgroundThe business plan calls for growth by adding a small number of employees, starting with an assistant, along with working with independent contractors. These will each need to have access to the files that now reside on my hard drive. I don't anticipate more than 6 people (employees and/or contractors, combined) in the first year.
In addition to the shared access described above, I would need to be sure that the environment where files are stored is highly secure, and that I can grant access to files to some people and not others.
In addition to the above, I need to ensure that all the data are backed up routinely.
Employees/contractors will likely not be in the same office location where I am located, and some (most) may work from a home office.
My assistant, when hired, may/may not be in my office. Regardless, (s)he will need to have access to (and make changes to) my contacts and calendar in outlook. In addition, (s)he will need to be able to read and send emails on my behalf.
AT&T, as part of my advertising with them in the Yellow Pages, is developing (and will host) my website. Included in their service will be email boxes (up to 20) with my domain name.
Business Need
Based on these points, I figured I needed to buy a server, so I've been talking with Dell. Of course, they'll sell me a server and they have a relationship with All Covered who will install it and make sure its operational.
But after talking wtih Dell, I learned that there was something called managed hosting, colocated hosting, dedicated hosting, and shared hosting. I called Rackspace, they said they would be overkill for what I needed and referred me to Mosso. Mosso said the same thing, and sent me to this site.

While i have loads a experience running servers remotely, I know to start my own ISP is a bit more costly and involves things like rack servers, temperature controled rooms and BANDWIDTH.
I have handle on 1st two, ( and yes htings like insurance and a store are looked after )
What i need are a list of T3 providers that I can contact about purchasing a dedicated T3 line for our store. While the location isn't yet set in stone and i may in fact look at a existing computer store owner who may be open to the idea already.
The company will host local websites, and others websites.
AND allow for reselling on a lessor level and include at least 6 others who host game servers.
With these 6 the T3 line will probably be almost half used, so the ISP must be scalable for growth.
The thing i need in nut shell are pricing on a T3 line of my own in or close to downtown Oshawa Ontario, Canada

we have a vps server and someone did what I would call a calling card attack, thankfully.
It is a stock kubuntu os with stock apache. Root passwords for everything have been changed to our own
Somehow they logged into kubuntu as root and changed the htpasswd in usr/passwords (changed to protect the password).
Then since they changed the htpasswd they were able to log into phpmyadmin and changed the admin password in the database.
I'm pretty sure I know who did it and he is teaching us a lesson which I respect but he will not comunicate with us.
We have hourly snapshots of our vps and we need to know how they are getting in. See my sig and click on the hotspot login.
Looking at the sudoers there is the Defaults line that we suspect as a means to get in.
We have a great php etc... app but it is either Apache or kubuntu that they can get in.
I would like to learn about what needs to be done about security but where do I start?
Can someone help me look for something that would allow the attack?
I'm a php guy and it is not a mysql injection attack nor is it an xss attack.
I am not a kubuntu / server security guy and now need your advice.

I spent all my afternoon on this but I couldn't managed to solve this problem out. Hope someone knows the solution for this one.
I've chrooted Apache and now it won't start. I try to run it with chroot /chroot/httpd httpd and it doesn't start but instead enters a single error in a error log. Something about permission being denied and apr_proc_detach constant. The best part is that I managed to run it flawlessly on an another server, but on this one it won't start. If I start it with -X parameter then it runs fine. Has anyone came across this error before? What libraries I should put in chroot environment to avoid the apr_proc_detach permission denied error?
On another computer it runs without problems, so I believe it's problem me not including all the necessary libraries in the environment (I included everything on the ldd /usr/sbin/httpd list).

I've supposedly set APF firewall to start at boot time, by doing something like:
chkconfig --levels 2345 apf on
However i have my reservations to weather it is actually starting, its set to block port 80, after boot if i try and access it, the connection will get refused straight away, however if i go and manually start APF then try and access again, it will take a while, like its ignoring the connection attempt (which is good).
How could I check if APF is actually running?

My configuration is correct because I have been using the same one on multiple servers.
I have run into this on another server actually, where the init script says it starts, but it in fact has not started. Stopping it results in a fail, and its nowhere to be found in the process list, but the PID file exists. I turned it to verbose and had it output to a log file, and the only thing I see is NET-SNMP version 5.1.2.
