I found EuroVPS before I found this forum but when I went to their website I couldn't find anything on their Terms of Service. Do they allow adult content and what are their privacy terms?
View 2 RepliesI am looking for free adult web hosting, as I am doing a site for an escort. It's fine if it has the following for her site:
escortName.someDomain.domainSuffix
Also, need CGI, PHP, MySQL, good amount of web space & bandwidth as she may want a video or two -- besides gallery images -- to be put up, etc.
I am thinking about getting image hosting website, which will support both adult and regular images and might be have a look like this one:
[url removed]
I asked some Onshore VPS hosting companies and they do allow adult image hosting. I am having TOS rules enabled about copyright rights and will support "report abuse" button so if somebody complains I could easy remove reported image. But anyway I think that it may cause some problems in the future.
My question is: which VPS is better and more reliable for this idea, Onshore or Offshore? and Why? What problems could I face with this type of website?
I'm looking for shared web hosting for a video sharing explicit adult website (like youporn).
Can you please help me?

1) Is it possible for them to track which websites the customer has been to?
2) If they wanted to, can they gain access to the things that the customer types, like email passwords, or even email content?

Reason why I posted this is below:
I live in a country where personal privacy isn't all that respected. Recently, I've encountered a problem. It seems that some people are aware of some info that I post in the web. Now, I posted those info under an anonymous ID, and didn't tell anyone about it at all, and no one else uses my computer. So, how did it get leaked? It's most likely not malware (keyloggers, trojans etc.) because I'm very careful in that aspect.
Can anyone recommend hosting provider (dedicated or VPS) that has a strong and clear policy with respect to data on the the server?
We currently have accounts with Liquidweb and ThePlanet. Their policies are fine as far as they go, but they seem focused on things credit card info used to purchase service, and tracking of activity on their web sites.
That's all very nice, but I am worried about data stored on our servers, etc. I need to be sure that they won't turn over information to 3rd parties without our consent or being compelled by a subpoena, warrant or court order, and I want to be sure that any data center they rent space in won't do the same.
I can't access eurovps.com at this time, can anyone please let me know if you have the same problem? I've tried in several computers and nothing.

We were problem-free for a few days, until I noticed my irssi (IRC chat client) screen detach. I assumed I accidentally pressed something, and continued chatting. Then it happened again, and a few more times. I looked at the last people to login to my shell, and it showed that an AlphaRed employee had logged into both 'root' and my personal shell. The employee was reading my chat logs in real-time.
The AlphaRed employ did not only read my chats, but participated as well. You may find logs that here: pastebin.ca/raw/1057127

I then realized that this AlphaRed employee thought that I had somehow hacked the machine and gained root access. This box was unmanaged, yet the employee did not consult the owner to verify that I was a legitimate user. When the employee discovered I had not hacked the box, he claimed that IRC daemons were against the AUP. Below is the only mention of IRC in the AUP:
``11. Clients running IRC daemon are required to take immediate action on notification of any botnet or suspected
DMCA activity on the server. Such action shall include immediately closing any channels related to such activity.
Clients refusing to take such action or provide access to Alpha Red to take such action will have all access to the IRC
daemon ports blocked and may be terminated without further notice.'
When I made the employee aware of this, he claimed there were complaints made about the IRC server. When I asked what the nature of the complaints were, he said he was not at liberty to discuss it. I personally doubt there were any complaints, as the IRCd was completely legitimate and exclusive.
I talked to the employee via ``wall'' messages via the root shell for a while. When I mentioned how unprofessional his way of dealing with the situation was, he told me he had control over the network and he didn't have to be professional.
While talking on the phone the employee told me I should have notified AlphaRed about running an IRCd. Nowhere in the AUP did it say anything about notifying AlphaRed. The employee acted like it was common sense -- which to me, it wasnt.
With no evidence of illegitimate activity, AlphaRed still refuses to allow an IRCd to run on our box. Even though it was their mistake, we are the ones paying for it.
AlphaRed offered no apology, and only left us inconvenienced.
the matter is kind of important and i dont want to discuss it in this thread, but i could not find a contact e-mail on the website. only phone numbers. so I know eurovps people are on this site, can one of them pm me and we can get in contact?

ORDER #EV20380S
Date 28-Mar-2009
That was 11 April when I last received e-mail from them saying that Accounts department would consider possibility of refunding the money to my paypal account.
I don't want to pre-empt too much but has anyone here succesfully received a refund from EuroVPS?
I was a long time lurker here and see that they seem to get good reviews so I signed up a VPS there. Now I'm not sure it was the right decision. I've asked for a refund and its all gone silence for 2 weeks despite repeated and polite emails as well as phone calls.
Just want to mention that Eurovps is best hosting provider for VPS solution.
Tech support : 10/10
Network : Great speeds to Europe and US
Happy with them.
They only had some problems with network sometimes but it was nothing to do with them.
Just experienced something totally cracy with EuroVPS which I feel I just have to share with the rest of you. I am currentlly looking for a serious VPS provider who isn't just the cheapest offer around but also offer good quality, support and network speed. Based on some comments here, I decided to give EuroVPS a try (among a few others).
In the begining it all went well, I did send them a few questions via email, and got replies quite fast. They wern't perhaps the most friendly replies you have ever seen making me feel they actually cared but rather quite formal, and sometimes they just refered to other people sending me information soon (which didn't happen without me asking again). But overall, it was still very good, which I also told them. Because of this, I decided to sign up for a free VPS trial, which was setup quite fast. So far so good.
Then it all started to go wrong. When connection with Remote Desktop I noticed that the speed I seemd to have wasn't quite as good as I had expected. This doesnt necessarily mean that they are doing anything wrong, but it made me send them a question to their sales address (I simply resonded to a previous mail). I received a reply saying that in order to get any support, I had to log in and use the HSP Complete panel. Perhaps not the nicest reply but still, I can live with that, and did as they said. I received a response that in order to give me any help, I had to send them my root login and password. I was suprised by this, especially as I was asking about network connectivity, and because you normaly wouldn't hand out your login credentials to just anyone. But, as it seeme the be the only way forward, and this was just a trial, I did it. Just a few seconds later, I received an automatic email which contained my text, which ment that the login credential I has just entered via HTTPS had now been sent over the Internet in plain text without encryption. Maybe I am to focused on security, but this handling to me raised some serious concern regarding how things like security were really setup at EuroVPS, and I emailed them asking for an explaination. And then all hell broke loose.
Within an hour, I received email that all my support tickets had been closed. I then received an email that my VPS had been stopped, and finaly one saying that it had been deleted (including any files I might have had there)! Just like that, no prior warning or anything, just bang, deleted. Maybe 30 minutes later, my phone rang and a very hostile and unfriendly guy said he was calling from Greece and that I had a VPS account with them that had just been terminated. Greece I thought, that can't be correct, I signed up for a vPS with a company in the Netherlands? But no, apperantly this is a greek company, just that they happen to host their stuff at EasyNet in the Netherlands.
He then continued to basically tell me to go to hell, and that they didn't want to do business with "people like me". Then he said that as a none paying customer (isn't that the point of a free trial?) I had no right to send questions to their technical support (remember, they were the ones who told me to do it). And then it went on like this, until I ended the call, as I didn't really see any point in being treated like dog **** just because I had made the misstake to evaluate a VPS with them and had sent them a question about network speed.
Even now, a few hours later, I am still upset by all this, but also glad that I hadn't yet signed up as a paying customer (which I was just about to do) before they showed their true face. But still, I am shocked by the way I was treated by EuroVPS and I wouldn't dream of ever doing business with them again, nor recommend them to anyone, despite the fact that the technical aspects of their offerings and their prices seem very good. Paying to be treated like shite...dont think so. I must say that I am also very suprised by this, as I before had gotten a very good impression of EuroVPS and this wasn't really what I expected, especially since it all started out very well.
Anyone know a good registrar who accepts Paypal payments with a .com domain price of around $10 or less and privacy option for about $2 or less? I also need to be able to set nameservers in a control panel.
Registerfly and GoDaddy didnt work... both ask credit cards and I only have Paypal.
I'm trying to see what the most cost effective way of doing this is.
I basically want to separate our business IP and our mail IP's.
So if I'm browsing the internet I have the regular IP that Comcast sets us up with.
If I am doing any emails, basically having one computer that runs off a different IP address. So when we send emails from that computer it would have the different IP address.
I want to do it in the most safe and legal way possible.
Just a small note from me about my experiences with EuroVPS, I transferred to them from Siteground Shared Hosting about 1 1/2 years ago, I run a fairly busy vbulletin forum, I say it's 'busy' because siteground said my site was consuming too many resources and they basically gave me 7 days to upgrade to their VPS or they said they would shut my site down, so I promptly transferred to EuroVPS.
The transfer went fairly smoothly and my site was up and running in no time at all, this whole VPS thing was totally new to me so the WHM and Plesk things etc. were like toys at xmas, albeit a bit confusing, naturally I had a few tickets in the beginning asking how this and that worked, their response time was phenomenal, I don't think I have ever had to wait longer than 15 minutes for a response. I have opened a total of 20 tickets so far.
Since then I have had the occasional ticket regarding problems and questions from my side and they have always been polite and have always solved my issues 100%. About 6 months ago there was a bit of an issue with regards to the transfer of my domain name that hadn't gone through from siteground to EuroVPS which caused my site to go down. A few tickets later and we managed to figure out what the problem was between us, believe it or not but EuroVPS actually phoned me at home to apologise for the confusion, in my opinion that is oustanding customer service and damn decent of them to go to all the trouble they went to and then still phone me.
Fantastic guys on their support team and in the Accounts department, I have nothing but praise for them, especially Sam M, Jeff D and Eugene K, thank you guys for top notch support.
i have 5 servers with Eurovps.com since Feb 2008
I must have raised around 60 to 70 tickets with them in last 1 year. 90% of the tickets the response time is less than 3 minutes. Sometimes they take around 5 minutes to reply.
But definitely i get back replies in less than 5 minutes all tickets new and pending.
It feels like they have a huge team which is always online waiting for tickets.
Recently i had problems in server on 31st December night 11pm Indian Time. I sent a ticket surprisingly their ticket reply came back in 2 minutes and again in next 3 minutes the second reply came that the server is again up.
Last week they helped me with one server which had few problems. They reinstalled the server for me and also transfered the accounts and checked each website. One of the website had issues de to mysqli extension not installed. They did it too and completed the entire job very professionally.
They also configured one of the servers for application hosting. The server surely has become 2x faster after Eurovps tuning work on the vps. They also called me on mobile to inform me.
I surely recommend eurovps for someone searching for premium and reliable hosting.
one word of caution dont use bad language with them. The people manning the support team are no nonsense people and will not accept rude language. If you are good with them they will also be good with you.
If others also happy with eurovps support then please feel free to post it here.
All in all their servers are pretty fast due to quality hardware and support also very fast .. complete peace of mind for me with eurovps.
I signed up with them for testing a project of ours, several days ago, nothing..
Emailed tech support this morning, they said they would look into it, 10 hours later, nothing.
A while ago I decided to move to VPS. I did an extensive research and I concluded to EuroVPS. From my experience so far these guys are PROFESSIONALS and really know their job. Their service and technical support are second to none.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI've recently purchased a VPS 250P package from EuroVPS and actually signed up for a two year contract as I respect the company so much however the speeds I've got, since finishing optimising the server, surprise me.
I'm already using a VPS from another dutch company until I move everything over to EuroVPS but the difference in speeds are a little concerning to me.
Please can you guys look at these response times and tell me if they are normal?
Current VPS: Page created in 0.035 seconds with 11 queries.
EuroVPS: Page created in 0.199 seconds with 8 queries.
Both servers are using the same spec, optimisations and PHP cache however my current VPS is using Apache1/PHP5/MySQL5 and with EuroVPS I can't afford to get them to upgrade to version5 so it's running on Apache2/PHP4/MySQL4.
I did get this response from EuroVPS, does it explain the difference in times?
"...we are using enterprise kernels which are slower than standard SMP/UP kernels. The performance of our VPS instances is not as high as some competitors who are using these faster, but smaller kernels.".
Once again, I have the utmost respect for EuroVPS and love their support but would appreciate some opinions on this from you guys.
We are developing a new web site that will be collecting private information (no credit cards - only names, phones, email addresses and potentialy addresses etc).
Our company will be based in the EU and the target audience will largely be located in the EU.
We were thinking of using some of the very respected US companies like theplanet or softlayer that have very good prices for a quality service instead of the more expensive and less flexible EU based solutions.
But I was wondering whether this would violate the EU privaxy regulations (not sure if softlayer or theplanet are part of the US Safe Harbor) or whether there would be a way to cover ourselves (e.g. special contractual binds with the provider (which i am hoping would be part of their standard SLA/T&C) or by mentioning in the Terms & conditions of our site that data will be stored in the US.
I am trying to found out is there anybody else having network problems on lease web or on eurovps.
I am on eurovps and from time to time I have a network problem.

I basically bought a HPS Complete VPS hosting account with EuroVPS and i am having problems setting up an email client as no web mail client comes by default with that plan.
I asked the eurovps support team 2-3 times on how to set up MS Outlook as my email client for my domain and they answered the same thing and it's not working.
I was wondering,if anyone of you have HSP Complete VPS hosting account with euroVPS and is there anyway to have webmail.
As per there documentation,i am using the following:
username: user
email:user@mydomain.com
smtp&pop3: mail.mydomain.com
smtp port: 25
pop port: 110
Selected to use authentication for outgoing server and checked the option to use same authentication method as incoming server,

I did everything as per the documentation they sent me but it's not working,
SameerHosting has been the biggest mistake I have ever made as far as purchasing a service online is concerned. This fake company and more importantly their Owner/Employee/[Insert Job Title Here] Jordan has been the most nasty, hard to work with, and distasteful person I have ever dealt with in my life. I recommend anyone to stay as far away from this company and child as possible. Below are parts of an initial post of mine at DP Forums. There are so many posts, threads, reviews and this kid and his fake company out there that you shouldn't have any trouble finding out everything that has occurred in the past 1-2 months. Thanks for your time:
I had purchased a dedicated server with this guy not realizing he was a 14 year old kid with a bad temper and poor spelling. I paid for the server and he managed to get into an argument with my tech about something (its in that thread). He then got mad at me and took out his anger on me even though I had no idea anything had happened until after the fact. He involved me in something I had no part in.
I have discussed this guy so many times that I am tired of talking about it but will give you a summary of what recently happened. Jordan pmed me through this forum through one of his other (now banned) accounts. This kid knows he will be banned from most forums and makes a handful of accounts to fall back on. He offered to give me a refund if I tell my tech to stop posting about him. Of course I did what he had asked me to do.
I have been honest and given him far to many chances to make right. Well, he ended up telling me I am no longer getting a refund from him because my tech keeps messing with his servers (which I doubt is actually happening). I am being punished again for something that does not have anything to do with my actions. He has now block me from yahoo messenger,msn messenger, his live chat.
Since I posted this on DP I have been in contact with his legal guardians and they have been no help.
Jordan has messaged my Personal Billing details to many of his customers and others along with edited defamatory pictures of someone that is supposed to be myself. That is totally illegal and childish. He did this because I spoke against his scam company and illegal wrongdoings.
If anyone has had bad dealings with this company please post everything that has happened in this thread and also PM me and I can give you the e-mail of the people who take care of him and you can tell them what he has done. He needs to be stopped.
Again, it is very important to post in this thread with information about what he has done to you, the more info the better as these people will possibly listen to me and others.
