36 Hours ago i placed an order at dynu.com
I paid the company via Paypal right away and havent heard a thing since. I tried to write and call the phonenumbers listet, but no response
Have any of you guys had bad bad experiences with this company?
I've got 25 domains on a Virtuozzo/Plesk8.6/CentOS5 VPS. Each domain has one up-to-date install of WordPress, most have very little traffic (average 200mb per month), maybe 2 domains get 5-7gb traffic per month.
I monitor port 80 connections and rarely see more than 10 at a time.
That should in my opinion be no problem at all for a VPS with 768mb guaranteed ram and 2.4ghz cpu. I've got 30gb hard drive spare too.
But.... about 8 or 10 times a day it grinds to a complete halt: server load at 500-1000%, sites timing out, plesk takes 3mins to load, often I can't even connect with SSH, and the plesk web server, apache
INSERT INTO module_watchdog_sys_stat (time, type, value, service_id) VALUES(FROM_UNIXTIME(1226404705), 'MAINMEM_USAGE', 17472, 11);
80 seconds sounds like a huge amount of time for a MySQL insert to me! Does anyone know if this is likely to be the cause of my trouble? Some problem with Plesk and the database? Or could it be something else?
I don't know if you've already experienced this but I really want a server from Kimsufi (from OVH) but I can't go trough their confirmation step where they need to send me a SMS with an activation code. I'm from Canada and althought the support told me it should work I have never received their SMS (and even tried my friends' cellphone numbers)
The support also said that I could choose the "skip verification" step and go trought the process, but when I try this, the process goes back to the SMS verification step with an error message telling me I didn't enter the right code (Since I entered nothing of course)
Has anybody ever had any problem like this? I have a friend who's from France and he said it was lightning fast, so I'm wondering if my only option is to find someone who will activate my account for me in Europe.
i just ordered a new server in Limestonenetworks.
I'll post my experience here about they
I ordered the following server:
[url]
If everything goes all right i'll make sure to give they the best Review i can give to a company!
hours after I ordered, I contact them and they say my payment wasnt recieved.
I checked my email, "Sale transaction has been completed", "Your payment ID xxxxxxxx was successful"
etc.
The payment went through, and they're saying i never paid
I bought Gigenet.com server.
How long after the server opens

I'm yet to receive an email or anything accepting it and im just a little concerned that it didnt get through due to being a large email with attachements etc.
So my question is...how long does it usually take for billing to approve you and do they send you an email stating as such?? Also how long till server delivery on average?
I know that actual server delivery can take up to 5 days etc, im just interested on the average.

View 8 Replies View RelatedThe onboard NICs on one our machines have become faulty, but due to their being no spare card slots on the server - a USB NIC has been used as a replacement.
This was fine, until the machine had to be reset - and on reboot MS SQL and Merak both failed - the reason being they load up *before* the USB driver kicks in for the nic (MS SQL for example tries to start, cannot listen on the IP then fails - Merak loads up, but doesn't bind -- even after the card comes up).
So my question is, is there a way to make the USB drivers load up first, or somehow put a delay on MS SQL and Merak?
MYSQL doesn't seem to be affected .... but that could just be fluke...
Some of our clients have alot of webspaces (resellers that migrated from Expand) and having to order the list of webspaces each time they want to move to another domain is causing them some hassle. Is there a way to set the webspaces to order by name by default?

I am posting this to tell my experience with UKeasily. I ordered a dedicated server from UKeasily on 8th March.
I did a research on WHT and chatted with their live help. Everything seems great. A tracert to their test IP also shows their server in good location and returned good net stats for me.
However, everything changed after I putting down my orders and paid the money. 8th March is a saturday and I do not expect them to act on week end. I phoned them on monday 10th March and got firm words from them that my order was received and the server will be ready in 48 hours. I was happy to hear it.
Then the bad news come. The dedicated server is not ready on 13th March. I waited for another day to call UKeasily. But only to find out that the UKeasily's telephone numbers are either no longer in use or go to answering machine. UKeasily's live chat has been offline for 5 days. Messages left out on their support system was not answered.
I did receive an email from google checkout telling me that UKeasily informed them the server order was shipped. I myself then checked my email box but found nothing. Called UKeasily again, still the answering machine.
I am running dedicated servers on UK2, OVH and Godaddy. Those companies may have slower server installation time but with good level of support. The level of service received from UKeasily is disappointing.
Beware if you were about to buy from UKeasily as of now. A server company that has the live chat offline for more than 5 consecutuve days and not answering even sales calls may not provide enough technical support while you need it. If you check their website, their live chat is still offline and sales number still goes to answering machine.
Does the iptables service need to be running in order for APF to function? If so, can APF act like it is running, when the iptables service is not running, thus giving you a false sense of security?

I have the 3 default plans for hosting, Bronze, Silver and Gold
When they display, they come up as Bronze, Gold and Silver
Is there a way that I can change the display order? It seems to be doing them in alphabetical order instead of how I want them.

I find that I like using CPanel with addon domains in a new unlimited domains shared plan rather than using WHM with each name having its own CPanel in a reseller plan (which I have been used to until now at another host). The only problem is that all the addon domains are out of order - they are not even in the order in which I add them. This puts a damper on things and makes managing them much less efficient than one would expect with the addons in order.
After putting in a support ticket, I was told they can't do anything about it at all. They told me the order of the listing is the order in the "mail server apache configuration."
After posting this matter here in the Apache forum, I have been informed by an SP member that the answer I got wouldn't hold any water at all, or more accurately, consists of a whole lot of smoke. As a person who knows how easy and basic it is to sort data lists or drop-down form selector fields myself, I must admit that it's hard to believe nothing can be done in the 21st century.
I have no desire at all to go with another reseller plan, and like using CPanel instead with addons.
Does anyone know of the good and well known unlimited domain hosting providers who keep the addon domains in order within CPanel? Is there any other good option for shared hosting that doesn't involve using WHM and does offer common sense multiple domain management where everything is in order?
why a client orders a dedicated server from Russia but then they inform us they have transferred the money from Hong Kong bank Telegraphic transfer, different person?
We really do our best to be reasonable but what is the logic behind that?
if Instead of using
ns1.mydomain.com
ns2.mydomain.com
I enter
ns2.mydomain.com
ns1.mydoamin.com
does that matter? because recently some seems to have problem accessing my site
At 15.00 PM (+1 hours here) my isp rebooted the hardware node. After the reboot there were some issues, they think it is possibly a DDoS Attack. They said the load on the host node was in the hunderds and my VPS was stopped because of the reboot and when I started it, HyperVM first told me it was not possible and after a few tries it started finally.
But the load was very high, and it still is. How can I check what the problem is that creates the high load?
Im getting very poor ftp speeds from my server, can someone test the speed and report it back, link below:-
[url]
I did nothing but my whole server got slower.
Especially the sshd and mc.
I solve the sshd problem cos I edited the conf file with UseDNS no so it faster right now but I couldnt do anything with mc.
I have to wait about 15 seconds to load it.
Any suggestion?
or any ideal why my server become slower?

I have an ASP.Net + SQL Server 2008 Express website I was hosting with DiscountASP.net. Their service seems pretty solid, and I didn't have any issues hosting with them. Customer support was quick and knowledgeable.
However, I had noticed for quite some time that the website seemed pretty slow. Please note that the website isn't live yet, so it was only me and a colleague who were accessing it. I was accessing the website from Dubai, UAE and he from Doha, Qatar. Therefore traffic/load definitely wasn't the problem.
We tried an instance of the website on a VPS (the DB was still running on DASP), and it was blazing fast! The difference in speed was quite significant and sustained. What could the reason for this be? Is it because we can't expect good speeds from shared hosting? Or should I report this issue to DASP?
I would be paying around 5x of what I'm paying right now ($100 instead of $20) if I switched to a VPS, but if there are definite advantages, I would be willing to do so. I don't expect large volumes of traffic on the website for quite a while.
I have a problem with my company's web hosting solution: occasionally we go through periods where we cannot seem to access our webpages very quickly. In different browsers (IE, Firefox) it takes literally minutes to load a single page. Most of the time the pages load very quickly from inside our office or outside.
Our self-hosting configuration is:
Windows XP Pro. w/ SP3
Apache 2.2.11 with PHP5.2.9-2
Norton Internet Security
Our internet connection is 10Mbps down / 900 kbps up cable behind a DLink router with port 80 forwarded over to the web server. Each page of our site is relatively small in size.
The same computer server as a mail server for about 10 email addresses.
When we encounter this problem, restarting the Apache service never seems to help, but restarting the computer does seem to help. XP was put on the computer with the latest updates about 3 weeks ago, so I am not concerned about spyware, particularly since this computer is only used as a server.
Does anyone have any troubleshooting steps to determine what the problem is? We don't have hundreds of visitors at a time in traffic as far as I am aware.
I own the website [url]and it's hosted at Host Excellence. Recently there have been some downtime periods, and most importantly, I have noticed that downloads are very slow. For instance, when I download a file such as [url]I get an approximative transfer rate of 100-150 KB/sec (whereas most other sites download at 500 KB/sec or more). First of all I'd like to know if you guys get similar results, and what do you recommend? I have contacted my host about it, they seem to deny the problem. Should I switch? What to? I need something reliable and fast.
View 14 Replies View RelatedAfter my bad experiences with the other provider, I decided to go with GeekStorage.com for my hosting needs. I found plenty of positive reviews for them but so far, it doesn't look good :-/
The support was fast enough, but not really helpfull.
My basic problems, so far, are:
1. The VPS is _really_ slow. Simple operations like listing (ls) the contents of directories with 4-5 files takes around 1~1.5seconds. Editing /etc/vim/vimrc with vim takes around 3 seconds (to open, I mean).
2. While trying to install phpmyadmin from the default ubuntu repository took me almost 10 minutes, from downloading to installing the packages. Something my old Dual P3 (yes, pentium 3) did in less than 2 minutes. Accessing the phpmyadmin page (with a web browser) took around 3 seconds, and no, I don't mean loading the database scheme and stuff, just the login screen. It just stood there for 3 seconds, then instant load. No, it wasn't a DNS problem. My browser was just hanging at "Waiting..."
3. Bandwidth is _really_ low. Tried downloading different files located all around the world and I never seen more than 300k/s, max. Sometimes it drops to a painfull 150k/s and just stays there.
4. Timeouts. First night they got my VPS up I had small downtime periods. I was trying to edit the DNS files and I had like 20 disconnects in 1 hour. The connection was working for 2 minutes, then *poof* dropped for another 2 minutes.
5. The virtualization. I can't install simple software as pureftpd. All I get is "Jan 4 20:38:21 vps pure-ftpd: (?@?) [ERROR] Unable to switch capabilities : Operation not permitted". Tried different workarounds (trying to avoid recompilation with --without-capabilities) but nothing worked.
As answers, all I got so far is:
- for the connection problem:
"Could you please provide the results of a traceroute when this problem is occurring? We will forward it to the DC and see if they can determine any network issues. Thank you, and apologies for the trouble."
Got the answer 1 hour after I asked them if there's something wrong, but it was too late... the problems were gone, for the moment.
- the slow response from the vps:
"2-3 seconds is understandable during peak hours, however we have not seen this issue come up on node3 since the server was rebooted recently. If the issues arise again
please let us know, we will check on the cause."
I *almost* understand about the peak hours, but it's not normal. I remember this was an issue with *shared* hosting. This was one of the reasons I got a VPS in the first place.
Basically they're telling me that during peak hours my customers will have to wait 3 seconds for my websites to load. You know what the average user does after waiting that many seconds for a page to load? Closes the browser or types another address.
I have the VPS512 plan (the $55 one + $3 safetyweb protection) + extra 50% bandwidth and disk space. My VPS is located on NODE3.
Anyone else experiencing the same issues (maybe on another node?) I'm still hoping for this issues to go away, maybe it's something temporary, but if this happens for the whole week, I'll definatelly ask for money back (they have a 60day return policy).
