Hows The Pittock
Mar 17, 2007I was wondering if anyone here had experiences with the Pittock over here in Portland, Oregon. We need more space, so we are looking to get a few full cabinets and fill them up with large dell servers. Anyone used them before, how are they? I read a few threads here about them but none of them explained their service.
I am going to schedule a tour in the new couple weeks to get the feel of the datacenter.
Also if you guys have the phone number for the colo guy can you PM it to me, he left me a voice mail awhile back with this phone# but I don't think I kept it.
Anyone Else Get A E7200 Special From TheNYNOC? Hows It Working For You? Mine Died...
Aug 18, 2008Let 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.
Code:

[root@hammond ~]# shutdown now
-bash: /sbin/shutdown: Input/output error
[root@hammond ~]# vi
Vim: Caught deadly signal BUS
Vim: Finished.
Bus error
[root@hammond ~]#
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.

May 22, 2008I 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?

Dec 22, 2008so 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.
CirtexHosting [negative Review]
Nov 21, 2008Frustrastion 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...
