View 7 RepliesI'm hunting for a decent dedicated server and I see all the major resellers, but NONE of them offer sql server 2008 web edition which microsoft put in place to make sql server more affordable for internet facing sites.
I see great deals on dedicates, but all only want to offer sql server standard for a couple hundred a month, when microsoft has updated their plans for 2008 to make it more affordable with web edition
How do I offer cPanel to a dedicated server customer or any kind of CP?
I checked out cpanel.net and they have a "Rent or Buy licenses" and also "Purchase license" link. Those seem expensive. But how do the rest in the industry charge only $10 or even $5 for a cPanel install for dedicated server customers?

i was going through pc-core.net website and when i click on dedicated i got that message that they are not accepting new orders for dedicated now and directing to go to burst directly if need server. Now i got a mail that our billing/support has been handed over to burst and pc-core.net is out.
I have some bad and good with them but i'll really miss Cody as he is a gentleman and very supportive.
I wish all pc-core.net dedicated customer a good luck with burst support.
I signed up with their managed dedicated dual core xeon hosting package few months back and had a lot of issue with downtime. Every now and then I found my server being down giving me Bad Gaeway error. When I saw the error from my end, I contacted few people from all over the world and everyone saw the same error as well. After submitting a ticket regarding the issue, Cody replied back saying he didnt' see any isue from his side. Well, thats a small part of the problem.
Earlier this month I noticed my server is down. As it happens every now and then, I decided to wait till next day and see what happends. It didnt come back up so I opened a ticket # KJD-564201 on Aug 05. Until today my issue is not resolved. Every now and then I kept getting email telling me that they are closing my ticket as they have not heard from me in 36 hours. Well, I'm waiting to hear back from PC-Core regarding the issue here. Why would they close a ticket without solving the problem?
First few days was beating around the bush. Then I was told that Jordan was waiting to hear back from data center, that went on for few days. Then Cody said Jordan no longer works there and he would look into the issue. Nothing happened for next few days even tho in the email it said i would hear something back in next 25 minutes, I have not heard anything back for days.
I then replied again and today after 14 days of my server being down, Cody is telling me that they will need to reinstall and I have to pay for that along with $65 per hour for data recoverry. HE ALSO TOLD ME HE NEVER HEARD BACK FROM NOC! They are offering managed dedicated service and they didnt manage to get an answer from NOC in 2 weeks?
What bothers me is that, I dont know why my server will go down and need reinstall. I run a free hosting server with Layered Pannel script. LP support cannot do anythig if they cannot access the server. I dont know much about dedicated hosting but something is really funny here. No response from NOC in 2 weeks, lack of communication, and what bothers me most is that I just found out in my client area of my hosting account that my service is terminated even tho I'm paying for hosting with paypal subscription every month on time.
Why the status would say terminated and I dont know anything about it? Do I need to go with the solution Cody proposes (reinstall and data recovery charged at per hour rate)? As I said I'm not much familiar with dedicated hosting, I need some help here to make the right decision. Thanks
I moved to pc-core a few days ago its around 15 days. I was aware that they reply to emergency tickets in around 1 to 4 hours even server is down or anything worst. But I thought that I only need them for reboots as PSM is managing my server. PSM told me that they can directly reboot burst server so my this fear was too out.
Yesterday on 14th Nov at 8 PM IST I found that my server got down. I pinged the server and it looks like that there is network issue rather then dedicated problem. PSM made a reboot request but server was not back online.
Now at this situation pc-core was the only help. I made a support ticket that my server is down. After 2 hours of no response to this critical ticket I bumped the ticket for self satisfaction that atlest I am doing something. Anyways after another 1 hour I updated the ticket asking them that it looks like a network problem. I got a response from pc-core around about 3 and a half hour that my server will be rebooted in 15 to 20 min. No problem I thought they must have investigated what server needs. Well after another 1 hour my server was not back. I updated the ticket and beg for investigation as this was the longest downtime since I get into the business even in the worst situations. Now after a long pause I got a response that I had a DMCA complaint for a image and I did not respond to that and now first I need to pay $50 (Around 50% of server monthly cost) for plugging back the server. The first thing is that they never sent me that DMCA I respond to any DMCA within 2 hours with a record. Well this is another thing firstly I need to get my server back online. I asked them get anything from me but put my server back online right now. Now after another long pause I got a reply to pay a invoice for $50. I immediately paid that and updated support ticket. Now as always after a pause I got response that they are unable to see my payment I give them paid invoice receipt from client area and transaction id. I got another response that they donât want client side confirmation I need to forward them Paypal receipt. I did that and wasted another 1 hour in making them prove that I have paid that invoice.
It was 3:15 AM in India and I thought things will be okey in few moments now as I have done whatever they are asking. Now at 7 AM I found that no response to my ticket thatâs 11 hours downtime now. Now at 9:30 AM I found that their support system got down and bouncing back the mails and giving error âLicense Error: Key file has expired
â.
Since then I made several tries to contact them, used live chat, direct mails but all are bouncing. I made a post to their forums and waited 4 hours no response.
Finally after 17 hours I have no choice to sit back and cry for choosing pc-core.net for my dedicated need.
Few points in brief:
1)DMCA was not forwarded to me.
2)Instead of nulling the IP they unplug entire server. Unplugging is the option when server is spamming not for DMCA.
3)I was forced to pay $50 before my server should be online. They should inform me that I need to pay this amount and put my server back and later add this invoice to my client area.
4)They reply to critical support requests in 4 hours or more sometimes. How can someone wait for a reboot for 4 hours ?
5)They donât care if clientâs server is down for 1 hour or 24 hours.
For saving $30 I paid $50 for no fault of me and downtime that is killing me and didn't let me sleep. I confess my decision was wrong in choosing pc-core.net for saving and surviving in this economy meltdown . I suggest you to think before going for pc-core.net.
Server is still down and its 2 PM in India.
I have been with pc-core.net [url] since April, all was good just few down times here and there once or twice a month didn't really bother me and I wasn't loosing any customers.
Note: I signed up from WHT, on a promotional offer, in case someone is wondering.
However I had a DMCA issue with few of my client about hosting torrent and such which twice the host shut off my server without sending me any DMCA notice and when I sent them email it was always an excuse DMCA and then when I asked why I haven't been notified they blame on the Datacenter who didn't send them so they couldn't send me, I can understand that so the first time I spoke to a guy named Cody Salter on MSN and got it fixed and he told me next time I would be notified and such, so the 2nd time happened again for the same same content which I removed earlier, again server went offline this time for almost 1.4 days, so I spoke to Cody again, same promise and I thought I let him slide without any kind of confrontation.
So this happened again 2 days ago this time over a different file the "datacenter" as they claimed shut me down and is asking for a $50 ransom or they wont let me access my content, of course I have few clients remaining and all their contents are now under the ransom either I pay PC-Core $50 or they keep my server offline for a fault that was on them and their host not me.
So I need some advice from some people what should I do? I tried sending them emails and now its on the $50 Ransom, its I pay this ransom to get my customers their stuff out of a dead server or I abandon my customers. I haven't spoken to Cody Salter as I haven't seen him online today the whole day. The ransom plan mainly came from the support email from a guy named Nathan O.
We are thinking of upgrading servers soon and had bad experience in the past while migrating servers. Are there any professional companies out there that can do the job ?

After being screwed by Dawson and fumiNET, my server was reinstated by BurstNET (thanks BurstNET). However, the few interactions I had with them gave me the impression that I would be better off with a slightly higher level of support, so I decided to go with PC-Core.net. Cody is a decent sort of chap, and was very patient and helpful during the pre-sales period. I wanted to just transfer my BurstNET (nee' fumiNET) box to PC-Core, but that couldn't be done - so, a new box was deployed and everything was transferred from the old box to the new box.
However, things just never seemed to click right. I cancelled my server with PC-Core due to the following reasons:
initial configuration was incorrect (misspelling of domain/host name, mistakes, incorrect settings)
box was assigned banned (dirty) IPstech support informed me that I would have to report these myself to the banning agencies
support tickets regarding this issue were closed before being resolved
after Cody's intervention, new IPs were finally assigned, butthe IPs were assigned on the day that I requested that it not be done
configuration of box with new IPs was incorrect (misspelling of domain/host name, only one of 5 IPs was configured, incorrect settings)
box was down for nearly a week (which must certainly have exceeded the stated limit in the SLA)no compensation for downtime was offered
my request (twice) for compensation was ignored
To be fair, during this whole process, Cody was always available and intervened to get things on track. However, Cody's intervention should not have been necessary, and worse, my requests for SLA compensation (sent directly to Cody) were ignored. This is unfortunate since the box (just before cancelling) finally seemed to be OK. I just got to the point that I had had enough - and I certainly felt that I was entitled to compensation for the headache and downtime.
I nearly decided to shut down my operation due to frustration, but I decided to give it one more shot and decided to try a fully managed VPS at WiredTree. I will post my impressions in the VPS forum regarding WiredTree - but in short, WT is ** AWESOME **.
Yes - capitalized, italicized, bolded, underlined, and flanked with stars.
I must also mention Josh from VolumeDrive. During my despair, and the search for another host (before just packing it in), Josh provided valuable advice and insight. Months earlier I went through a pre-sales process with him before eventually deciding on fumiNET, and in spite of this, Josh just picked up from where we left off - even though it was fairly evident that I wouldn't be going with him. I'm hoping that my sites become successful, just so that I can justify getting a server with VolumeDrive. THANKS JOSH
About to pickup a server strictly for use with MySQL databases.
Right now there's zero price difference between the Intel 5110 dual core and the 5310 quad cores. Looking around a bit online, it seems like the quad core is of no benefit (or lesser performance) than the dualie. That sql cannot take advantage of it yet.
Is this accurate? If so, where do quad core CPU's shine at this point in time?

I've not posted feedback for past providers that haven't been so good, but due to bad service and a lack of refund after nearly 2 weeks, I really need to post my situation.
The site is pc-core.net, and they have had some fairly decent offers going on WHT.
After 5 days of good service from the dedicated provider PC Core, I ran into possibly the worst 10 days of running a website I’ve ever encountered and a further 12 days without a refund.
Here’s my story.
I signed up for a dedicated host in September, and my machine was made active on 25/09.
The server went down 5 days later on 30/09, and it took more than 24 hours to get it back up. So now we’re running on late 01 Oct 2008, but slow and sometimes unresponsive. The site then goes down completely on 05 Oct 2008. A response on 06 Oct 2008 saying they’re looking into the situation. Had to then wait 2 days, and post 3 replies to get a response on 08 Oct 2008.
One last response on 09 Oct from support, then I had to update the ticket 10 times to get another reply on 14 Oct 2008.
The server was down for 9 days with little to no response from the tech support, despite me continually trying to contact them.
Server back online briefly, then down again on 15 Oct 2008.
On 16 Oct 2008 I placed a ticket applying for a refund, which should be instant and my account cancelled instantly. Refund request finally got through on the 18th, server down but my account on their site is still live (so I’m still being invoiced via PayPal).
Their refund policy:
If for any reason you are unhappy with our service, and wish to leave during the first 30-days, PC Core will refund your purchase price less applicable fees in full.
It’s now 30 Oct and as I write this I’m still waiting for a refund (12 days waiting for a refund, still no response), still waiting for my account to be cancelled and I’ve posted numerous tickets asking for an update during the last 12 days.
I was told that they may pay me for the remaining days I had left after cancelling.
Surely a full refund is in order? Or at least the downtime and remaining time for the month.
I’ve been with 4,5 dedicated providers in the last two, three years but I have never seen any take more than 5 days to respond to server downtime, it’s appauling. The only thing going for the provider during my month with PC Core was that the staff were kind and helpful when they were around to give it.
I have a server running Fedora 4 and WHM/cPanel. I would like to upgrade the linux kernel to the latest version, so mosey in via SSH and type "yum -y upgrade". It downloads a few things and tells me everything is hunky dory.
Now, the version it says it is currently running is: 2.6.17-1.2142_FC4 #1 Tue Jul 11 22:41:14 EDT 2006
Is that the really the newest version available? Maybe I'm confused as to how this works, but if I go to kernel.org it tells me the most recent stable version of the kernel is 2.6.24.3. Is this because I am running FC4?
I have a big problem with this company. check this ticket:

Hi Marco,
I am sorry to inform you, but the data center screwed up and reformatted your server and reinstalled Windows. They misunderstood what we were telling them. We were talking about another server. I apologise and am seeing what I can do.

Approx how many COD4 slots do you think i could get on the following spec server
Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 2.40GHz (1066FSB)
80GB Raptor 10,000RPM
2GB DDR2 RAM
Linux OS or Windows XP Pro (not sure if I will fork out the extra for windows or not yet)
100mbit uplink
I'll be co-locating this to a DC.
We are hosting our software system which do calculation and file manipulation.
Now we have Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 and would like to get Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 to increase our system performance.
Also we have other choice, get Intel Xeon E5405 Harpertown 2.0GHz
to replace two above.
I think it is better to have one server box because one box easy to manage than two. Also Harpertown is much faster than these two together.
What is your opinion?
3i want to buy new erver and i have choice of the fallowing

and
Intel Quad Core Q9300 4x2.5 GHz
RAM : 2048 MB
Disk Drives: 2 X 250 GB SATA
both in the same price . so i need some advice for who are the best performance and the ideal for webhosting service.
I'm running a message board and it looks like I've outgrown the low end xeon 3040 1.86GHz dual core server, and the bulk of the CPU load is going to mysqld. I'm debating between offloading the DB to a dedicated server vs upgrading the existing server and hosting the web server and db on the same machine.
Any thoughts on the better approach? fwiw, the load from apache seems next to nothing right now, but I am also planning on adding an SMTP server for user registrations and general support email.
I'm also not super familiar with dual-core and dual processor machines. Does shifting mysql to a dual core or dual proc machine help (vs a single core/single proc machine)? since there is just one mysql daemon, does having a second core or proc. buy me anything?
