So what do you think of their offer?
In the webhosting offers section (vps hosting), both Knownhost and PowerVPS are running deals.
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=104
The PowerVPS deal seem MUCH better in terms of cost, and memory, and bandwidth.
I've read through several posts here on the board about each company. From what I've read, Knownhost is GREAT! The stuff I've been reading about PowerVPS says that things have not been that great in the recent past for them.
I'm writing now only to get opinions and comments about the deals they're offering right now and which you think would be a better choice.
seems ASPNIX.com and one of my web sites hosted there are down again. Another website seems to be responding. Anyone know what's happening over there?

I have suggested aspnix.com as a specialized provider, and I looked it up. I can say that I expected for the higher prices... They have really cheap deals as I think.
Well, I need:
-The suggesstion of a really good reliabló provider for windows hosting.
-Your respectful opinions on aspnix.com in particular.
I highly encourage people to reconsider another web hosting company. I'm a programmer and usually have to pick a hosting for my clients, and because their down time can be as long as 1 week or even more they caused me a lot of embarrassment with my clients. though their support somehow helpful but they must reconsider their technical plan. I never experienced such hosting where we can get down time for week or some times couple a days!
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been with aspnix using their VPS products for about a year now, 11 months if you want to get picky.
I went to them because I was previously with CIHOST, which we do not need to even go there but they may come up as to why i went to aspnix.
At the time I signed up for aspnix, my server was created in 48 hours. It was always nice and responsive, it came already hardened and patched. I actually have to say I was really impressed with the server. The other great feature was they took paypal, to me this was new, even though my oldest personal domain is 1996 I had never seen a host take payments via paypal. This was extremely appealing to me since since one time CIHOST maxed out my Amex card, they did an audit, said I was 10 gigs over on hard drive space, then just charged me for my overage. No I was not over I was way under I had like 30 gigs of free space and I told them about my offer as I signed up during a special. The billing lady I talked to told me they never ever had a special with that much space which I pointed her to their own website which had the special on there at that time. Anyway never again. I will pay my bill my way that way if there is a dispute in my bill I am not just charged until the dispute is handled. Please note to any other host that read this. I do not want to give you my CC number. Anyway that is why I decided to go with them plus I wasn't finding a lot of windows VPS hosts at the time. Nice to see there are a lot more of them now and those that take paypal.
Anyway, I really liked ASPnix. The server was up, it was patched, you got free SQL2005 databases, I forget the size but it was decent. If you had asked 4 months ago I would have said they were the best host ever. However I never had any problems and never needed support.
Then about 3 months ago, a patch got stuck, one of their patches got stuck it appeared to be the wrong patch, 64 bit pushed to a 32 bit OS and every time I signed into the server it told me about the problem however it didn't hose anything so I didn't care to much I submitted a trouble ticket about it to have them look into it. My response was from support was and I kid you not "Are you sure? That can't happen." Which surprised me and made me laugh because I knew I got some first level support guy who might not have a clue. So I replied back and said I am very sure and if he didn't believe me he could log in and find out. He didn't and he gave me a reply he would send this to an admin to look into. To which I forgot about because like I said it cause me no real problems and the patch wasn't a critical patch.
Ok so I have not needed to log in since then, patches are on autopilot and I had some other things to do, everything else I needed could be handled through the web interface on my websites.
Then early this week, I find my site down. All my sites down, in fact the whole server was down. So I hit their site to find no info, it says something about they are going to have a new site but that is a very old post, I try to hit the forums but the forums have been removed. I mail support, I get no response. I pull up instant messenger, because they say they have support that way and I sent them an instant message, No response. Ok, so maybe it is a major outage and they are flooded I think I can handle that, I can wait until tomorrow. I am a computer guy and have been for year I know what it is like when something major is down.
Tomorrow comes, no server, yet no response. I so IM them again, which they reply and say they are very sorry and my server will be back up in a couple hours they are working on it, I ask them what is the problem, no response. Ok, I can handle this, not pleasant at this point I am wondering what is wrong.
6 hours go by, I IM again asking where we were, No response. 8 hours go by, I IM again, No response. Finally I get to digging into this more I log in to the website control panel. It says my bill is past due. Which is news to me. I go and look through my email, sure enough I have a receipt for payment. I log into Paypal sure enough I made the payment. I begin to wonder did they shut my server off for non payment, it would appear they have a glitch in their billing system, but they would have notified me or something if they were shutting me off for non payment wouldn't they?
2 days, after my first email I fire up a large email I address it to ever single email address at aspnix I can find, in that email I ask say I think my server might have been shut down for non payment so I also include the paypal receipt showing that I payed. 8 hours go by before I get a response from some guy in support saying he is sorry and he has sent this off to billing and support and my server would be on within a couple of hours.
8 hours after that I send them another email in reply saying that it has been 8 hours now and it is still not on. 8 hours later I finally get home from a long day, I have an instant message from support apologizing, guess what it said it would be back on in 2 hours. The message was sent 1 hours ago so I wait for an hour. I send them an instant message, asking where it is and what is going on, no response. Ok so now I am livid. but worried, the last thing I want is for email to go down, email is hosted somewhere else, however aspnix has my DNS entries and my MX records. So after 4 hours more I start moving DNS, logging in to registrar re pointing DNS. What a pain in the rump. There better have been a serious outage and I should be getting a reimbursement or something. At this point I still do not know what is going on. Fed up i go to bed and wait for DNS to propagate. I get up my server is up finally, I have an email from one of the admins apologizing, and saying everything is fixed and back up and my account has been credited for the payment they messed up on. Thats it, nothing else.
Then there is an email from support for my very original submission from several days before. The first one that was never answered. Basically this one tells me your server was turned off because you haven't paid your bill when you pay your bill we will turn it back on. This just pisses me off, so they shut me off for non payment, never bothered to notify me. Not only that I had paid and had the receipts. So the whole outage was their fault then the days it was down it was down just waiting on someone to turn the server on. To me this is just unacceptable. Ok so I log on to my Server to check it out, that original patch problem from 4 months ago. You guessed it still there.
Anyway I liked the server and the payment options however if you need uptime or support it is pretty much non existent and can take days if not weeks even if your server is down. Then other problems could take months to resolve.
We have been with aspnix for quite some time, we have posted good reviews about them, but now we advise everyone to stay away from them.
The History:
- 2 years with aspnix service, they had very good uptime but in the end we always known that if someday something went wrong it was going to be a real disaster, why? Because their supports its a big pile of crap.
- At the beginning we talked to ROMA that seemed to be the only living creature on that company but in the last time an other support guy called Azhar or Pazhar, something like that is the one that respond to questions (1 hour per day, sometimes less), his answers are always im going to send to admin, until now didn´t solve us anything, the best part is that everytime we begin a MSN conversation with him, he always suddenly stops talking and disapear specially when he really don´t know what to say.
- Aspnix has on the news they are going to develop a new website and some parts of the old one are going to be disabled, this is great new website (someday), the funny thing is that the first part to be disabled was the support forums
- Now the best part, most of our websites stopped working and has always we sent a ticket with no answer for 6 hours, than pazhar or something appears on the msn and says "i was out", mmm great, and about our website?? He says "the disk server crashed and we are recovering it, its going to take 3 days minimum" -- 3 days? After this he went away again.
Its really impossible to work with them, and if you have a client that really uses asp.net 2.0 or other windows server functionality, forget support, if something is not well configured the answer is always the same, we don´t support code. This happened us many times but when we move our clients website to another windows hoster it works perfectly.
I know there are many aspnix clients feeling the same, you can post here because their forum is dead and the same applies for their support.
Support 6/10
------------
I will start with the positive part of this review. The Support at ASPnix was pretty good on Live Chat (when it was online, which wasnt a lot) The technician who I spoke with (always the same guy, so im assuming he ran it alone) was very helpful. He assisted me with anything I needed, from setting up SSL to moving my WHMCS install. The support recieved from ASPnix is what I would expect from any company, but sadly is rare to find these days.
Service 2/10
------------
After originally signing up with ASPnix I was fairly happy. The control panel (HELM 3) was very nice. About a month after signing up with them, they upgraded HELM to the new version, which was an absolute piece of crap. It feels like your being treated as a child with how little access you have to some of the most basic necessities. The most shocking of which was the fact with the new version of HELM, you can no longer even create your own cron jobs. I find it to be a very serious issue that you have to file a support ticket to have things like this changed. Another major issue was I relied on the HELM panel's database backups. When it finally came time that I needed to restore one, not a single backup worked. After some further testing, I found that not only did none of the backups I had made for any of the databases work, but that I could not upload local backups. Another major issue was the lack of MOD_REWRITE which was originally available to us, and was taken away with the upgraded panel. The switch from HELM 3 to HELM 4 was a horrendous choice, and is reason enough to stay away from this hosting company.
Performance 4/10
----------------
The site performance was nothing to be impressed with. The site loaded, but that was about it. In comparison to every other webhost I ever had, page load times were extremely slow. Also, it seemed that the mail servers were not working atleast 2-3 times a day.
Policys 1/10
------------
Upon reaching the point of utter disgust with every aspect of this host aside from their support, I decided to request a refund for the remaining months on my account (I paid for a year, and had used 5 months). I finally recieved a response to my ticket stating that it was policy to not offer refunds after 30 days, even on Annual purchases. Pretty sickened by this response, I sent them a response asking them at the least to refund the IP address which I had purchased from them only a week ago (well within the 30 day period) to which they replied the IP was non refundable either, and that the price was not for the IP but the setup of it.
Conclusion
----------
Stay away from this host!! The owner is a decent guy, and fairly helpful in comparison to some other companies, but the product isn't even remotely worth the price, and the policys aren't any better. They asked me if I would like to cancel the service (I guess this is there way of saying can we just keep your money and have our product back) but I guess I will use it as a file backup service, as thats about all I can imagine they are any good for.
Wow im looking at the new jaguarpc specials and they look really nice. What do you think about moving from another provider?
Its 2 months free and 15% off for the life of the plan! it's making me feel that i should rush and sign up before its too late...
But im happy with my current provider, its just the 10$ less and the bigger specs thats making me really think about it
[Review] Super Special Servers
Well, this isn't so much of a review as me saying what's happened in the last week since I ordered a server from them.
November 29th- Ordered a server, expected 2-3 days till my server was up. It turned out to be 2-3 business days (M-F). This, I admit is my fault for not reading carefully. A few more days, I did not mind.
I also submitted a ticket requesting more information on delivery dates and they said that my server would be up in 1-2 days.
December 2nd- I submit a ticket (Tuesday) just checking that they still remember by server. It's fine, they give me information on how their process works and why it may take up to three days.
December 3rd- It's now been 3 days, so I submit a ticket. I get a reply saying that it will be up tomorrow.
December 4th- Still no server.
December 5th- Still no server.
So basically, now I'm just hoping that I will get this server within the next little while before all of my players (I'm using this to run a web based game) disappear from the 2 day downtime so far.
What would you prefer and why?
Would you prefer 6 free months on a new sign up.
OR
A special built package that is loaded with things for a good price?
We have many intranet document what linked on our intranet site. We use "apache builed in" directory listing to handle documents on browser, and make accessable to users. Because this not so user friendly we try to use a template (h5ai-[URL] ....) for mod_autoindex.
Unfortunatelly if file or folder name contains special characters (like é,á,ű,ő,ú,ü,ö,ó) than get Access Forbidden - Error 403. If change the folder name, than its ok.
I use xampp. how to solve this.
Let me start off by saying I'm not here to trash TheNYNOC or anything of the sort, in fact they've been fairly pleasant to me sofar. But I'm wondering if anyone else is having problems with the recently advertised E7200 dedicated server special they've been advertising here at WHT?
When I first ordered my server a couple of weeks ago it was delayed an extra couple of days because they were having problems with the E7200 Core 2 Duos getting along with the motherboards they were using - no big deal, I know from experience that the E7200 is a great little C2D but it can be a real booger with certain motherboards. (Some boards still can't handle the new 45nm cores) But they finally got my server delivered and BOY was it FAST compared to my old Celeron 2.4ghz that I had at ExistHosting (now GoGax). I was one HAPPY camper.
Well tonight I come home from a party to dozens of emails from people saying half of my sites are down, email isn't responding, etc. Upon logging into the server I quickly discover that there is an apparent hardware failure of MASSIVE proportions going on. Half of the files on the server were missing, what was still there was corrupt, and almost every basic linux command resulted in a nasty I/O error.

Before Vim completelystopped working I also spotted some errors in /var/log/messages complaining about a couple of bad sectors on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 so I suppose I could have just gotten a bad HDD... I dunno though something seems weird.
So I'm wondering, has anyone else with this particular server from TheNYNoc been having problems after a few weeks, or am I just unlucky? Hopefully it's just a bad drive and not some weird exotic problem with the E7200 + mobo combination. I don't fancy having to setup my server a THIRD time in the next few weeks. A second time is going to be bad enough.
Dang it, I just had everything perfect the way I like it too.
I'm migrating some websites from old server with virtualmin, some websites have files with special characters as à,ö,ç etc...
On the other server the files (images for example) are served well but on the new server with plesk 11.5 error 404 appears. (Nginx reverse proxy is activated)...

Does that mean I have installed GD? I am new to this dedi thingy.
I asked my host to reload/rebuild my dedicated server as I wanted to clear my entire server so that I can used it for a brand new project but I was told that it would cost me $75 per server.
Am I able to engage a freelancer to do it rather than getting my hosting provider? I would also need to change the server hostname from www1.xxx.com to www1.yyy.com and the name server to be changed to ns1.yyy.com and ns2.yyy.com instead of ns1/2.xxx.com. In short, I do not want yyy.com to be traced back to xxx.com at all. I do not want a traceroute, cpanel or other means to link the two site together.
About 4 days back i ordered and got a Xeon dedicated box from Softlayer
BUT i am stuck adding one domain. First i tried making a new account for this domain through WHM but problem was not solved, so today i parked this domain to a domain's cPanel account but after that also problem was not solved
So, let me first explain you whole problem. Suppose my domain is my-domain.com
This domain my-domain.com was added to shared hosting account at ace-host.net. But after purchasing dedicated server, i shifted whole site data to new server and changed the nameservers of my-domain.com with new ones and atlast i removed this domain from my Ace-host.net account.
Then i waited for about 2days to domain to propagate with new server's namesevers. But when nothing happened (i checked the domain whois record, they were showing my new server's nameservers), atlast i contacted Softlayer regarding this and after sometime they replied We have given the correct server alias for your domain my-domain.com in apache configuration and it was working fine that monent.
But after sometime i checked that my-domain.com is loading fine but it is taking whole data (including database and templates) from my OLD HOST ... Ace-host.net!
As i have already mentioned that i have already deleted my-domain.com from Acehost account and also updated the my-domain.com's nameservers with new dedicated server's.
And i checked many times WHOIS records from different websites at that moment. All were showing nameserver records of my new server.
I now contacted PSM and they after sometime replied that its working now as they just had to restart dns server.
BUT NOW , today again samething is happening! (on the 4th day)
so, i terminated my-domain.com's account from my server's WHM. and then parked in other domain cPanel account on same (Softlayer) server but still problem is still there!!
Domain is registered at Namecheap.com
NOTE: I am not saying anything against PSM or Softlayer and their support staff. They are both THE BEST in the market! and they have helped me a lot manytimes.
I also have two more domains on this new server and both are working fine from very first day. They are registered with local registrar not with namecheap.
i've purchased a dedicated box with Plesk webhosting, but i can't get the email forwarding services to work
The domain is registered with Domainsite, set in plesk to forward admin@domain.com to my gmail... and it doesn't work no matter what i try...
First settings i tried( I use domainsite's nameservers and set the dns in there, if you know a better/other way, please reply) blanked out the last 2 chars of the ip just in case
Code:
Record Type Record Host Record Answer TTL Priority (MX only) Create Date
A *.domain.com 84.244.-.- (delete) 300 2007-11-10 07:43:03
A domain.com 84.244.-.- (delete) 300 2007-11-10
well that didn't work, so i figured i needed a MX record
I added:
Code:
MX domain.com 84.244.-.- (delete) 300 10
but it still didn't work( i did wait a few days after each change)
Then i tried the domainforwarder from Domainsite itself
which added 2 records:
Code:
MX domain.com mx0.domainsite.com (delete) 300 10 2007-12-01 12:17:37
TXT domain.com v=spf1 a mx ~all (delete) 300 2007-12-01 12:17:37
but it still doesn't work
i'm also getting mails bounced back with the line: "Reverse DNS lookup for your IP address is failing."
what changes need to make?
Am curious about Wildwest Dedicated Servers and VPS Servers.
I'd like to know for those of you - your thoughts either way on your experiences Good, bad, what you learned while being there.
1. What you like about Wildwest Servers Dedi or VPS
2. What you don't like about Wildwest Servers Dedi or VPS
And anything else you'd like to throw in.
I had shortlisted a few, although there may be more choices..
SoftLayer have lesser discount, but they have an excellent DC, hardware & more~
Gigenet have up to 30% discount and 15% at least, which is a plus, but I'm not sure about other stuffs, although they are also pretty reputable around..
LimeStoneNetworks have very little discount, and their servers are cheap, but their specs are pretty much *fixed*, and they do not seem to offer as much as the above..
HandyNetworks have cheap servers too, but they are not as competitive with the above 3, in the sense that they are not much interested to join the competition, remaining on their own track completely..
HiVelocity - No information, although their requirement is pretty simple..
Take2Hosting, although they have really cheap servers, their datacenter isn't as advanced as the others, and... Cogent... IMO more suitable for personal use, small sites etc.
IMO I will prefer SoftLayer, but their servers are quite expensive, so even if I get 4 dummy servers, which cost $119(their cheapest server) and multiple by 4 is $476, and get a server used to sell hosting, it will not be cheap.. However, on the other end, Gigenet has cheaper servers(especially their specials, really better than SL), although their entry server is $154, which I suppose everything will balance out, I just can't think of anything they can be better than SL, in terms of network, support, server administration(I heard and tried SoftLayer's portal to manage the server, it was excellent!) etc.
I will actually love to resell Gigenet servers, since it is a lot cheaper(in terms of discount), and their prices are roughly the same(except SL RAM is more expensive)..

Also the firewall stopped the port scanning from a server within the same dc.
I checked it on google and the explanation's varies but most say that is a problem of the router/switch or similar.
I have non-english languages being showed as ? on different servers / vps.
I have tried "yum install french support" which installed but the problem persist.
On one of the VPS i switched to lighttp and the problem disappears.
I guess it has to do with Apache?
I would like share my experience with CreativeVPS/CreativeRACK, I've been around this forum for a while now but rarely post and I never shared my bad experiences but sometimes it is necessary to do so that others would know and maybe improve the service people get. Forgive me if I misspell and the bad grammar English is not my first language.
I currently have a a VPS with Servint which is Great
but lately I felt it wasn't enough and was thinking moving up to a small dedi and yesterday (March 31 2009) I found "[CreativeRACK] Closeouts! DUAL CORE / 2GB RAM / 250GB SATA - $59 (Managed!)" under "Dedicated Hosting Offers"
the offer looked good and Joseph r00ter been around the forum for a while now and has a nice posts counts so I decided to go for it so yesterday March 31 2009 I talked to Joseph on the messenger, he was nice and near midnight(thumbs up to Joseph for working late) I ordered the "last" Intel Pentium D 925 for $59.95+$20 cpanel, he emailed me the invoice I paid it right a way.
I woke up in the morning <--thats how I actually look in the mornings , and saw that Servint had upgraded all the packages, which changed things to me and I decided not to move to a dedi and stay some more with servint. so I opened a high priority ticket to cancel the order, before my morning coffee . the response I got was "Payments made to CreativeVPS are non-refundable as it says in our Terms of Service, which you were bound to when you placed the order..." later that day I messeged Joseph but he said the same thing and that they already bought the hardware *reminder* it was closeout clearance sale server* and that I'm obligated to their TOS that stated that there no refunds.
he quoted "Q: Do you have a moneyback guarantee?
A: Due to the amount of fraud orders we get, we do not offer a moneyback guarantee."
from the offer page.
the worst thing in my opinion is that when I stated that there is no visible link to the TOS on their "Legal Information" page which contained AUP and SLA which did not say anything about refunds Joseph just changed the page.
I can post the entire conversation if needed.
Unfortunately I had to open a dispute with Paypal, I hate doing it and before this incident I only charged-back only once (when RegisterFly charged my credit card and closed their business)
aside the legal part there is a right way to run a business and handle clients, this is not it. you need to be fair and honest. and not just profitable.
I shut down iptables on my dedi to try to install Poweradmin but, when the install did not work (probably because DirectAdmin was controlling files and processes I needed for the package) I attempted to restart iptables by running "/etc/init.d/iptables restart" and "service iptables start". It didn't restart. I restarted the webserver running "/etc/init.d/httpd restart". I even rebooted the dedi. Still, no iptables.

A reseller wants to be alone, server resources, dedicated IP, etc. while doesn't have Sys Admin nor Server management knowledge..
Is there a dedicated/VPS that is fully managed from the Hardware, OS, up to System Admin level, leaving the reseller to just use his reseller account on it?
What is the name of such package? under what name should he look for it? how different is it from Managed dedicated/ VPS?
I was wondering if it's feasible to run a VPS/Dedi server entirely on lightweight alternatives. I.e:
nginx/lighty/litespeed instead of apache
php/fastcgi or php-litespeed instead of mod_php
tinydns instead of bind
and so on...
Is it a viable solution? Is anyone running their hosts on these alt servers? What is your experience?
I'm specially interested in nginx (lighty has been accused of leaking memory, and litespeed std is feature-limited). What's your verdict on running it as a stand-alone server for php-fastcgi and static contents?
i am confused which one is better VPS or Dedi ? my budget is very low under $25-20 / Month , I saw some dedi offers for $30/month from prontoserver i think is that Good?
or Go with a VPS? i need 60GB and 400GB of bw so what is the best thing?
I have been following there posts in the offers section of wht for a few weeks now, I've contacted RN-DAVID a few times about his offers and the response has always been fast and the service sounds good, however i would like to know what everyone else thinks.
I'm looking to order two servers from them with the following specs:
Server 1:
AMD Sempron 3000+
2GB DDR2 RAM
1X 120GB SATA II HDD
1X 160GB SATA II HDD
2 IP Addresses
Windows Server 2003 Std
3TB CAP on a 100Mbps Line
Priced @ £40.95 PM with £20.00 Setup for RAM and Second HDD
This server will just be for my personal use really, I'm planning on backing up some of my personal data to it, photos, documents etc... I'll be using it via remote desktop mainly so doesn't need to be top spec.
The second server is going to be an additional Cpanel Web Server With the following spec's
Intel Core 2 Quad 6600
4GB DDR II RAM
2X 500GB SATA II HDD'S (RAID)
8 IP Addresses
CentOS
CPanel
3TB on 100Mbps Line
Cost £69.95PM + £120 For RAM, HDD & Raid Card Upgrades
Now when it comes to value for money both servers seem fantastic to me, but what I would like to know is does anyone else use them? what are your experiences with them? whats there support like? etc...
any dedi server company worth its salt provides a control panel of sorts where you can check bandwidth, raise tickets, etc. Is there anyone who has got a really, really good one that is miles ahead of the rest? I'm wondering what the consensus is on who has the best panel? I want to find the best portal and check it out.
