Layeredtech Forcing Me To Migrate Server ... In 3 Weeks

Sep 29, 2008

I've been a layeredtech customer since early 2005, and until this last insane price-hike fiasco, I've never had a major complaint.
But now it keeps getting worse.

I wound up keeping this particular server around after the price hike (for several reasons, one of which was misinformation from a LT sales person regarding the prepay option) and several days ago received an email stating that my server would have to be moved, and that due to the chassis type of my old server, they could not move my server, I would need to migrate to a new server.

The email was less than forthcoming with details, so I tried to phone the person who sent me the email. The call went straight to his voicemail, where I left a couple messages asking him to return my calls, which he never did.

Finally I called their Sales department to figure out what was going on, and finally spoke with a nice & friendly guy (in a different department), who he stated that he felt like he was in the middle, and he just wanted to help us (the affected customers) out.
Okay, I figure I can handle moving all my custom software to a new server figuring that they would find some comparable piece of hardware to move me to at the same cost.

No.

I was told I would have to pay around 10% more per month for a server with only a slightly faster CPU, only 1GB of ram and only 1 hard-drive (current server has 1.5GB of ram & 2 hard-drives mirrored)

Oh, and I have to have everything moved by the 18th of October.
And I'll have to pay for 2 servers while I move.
Or, I might be able to have the server moved to a different space at Savvis, but that would likely only be a short-term solution, and this situation would come up again.

I find this really appalling--they really must hate their customers who helped them through the early years!

LeaseWeb - Wait Two Weeks For Server Setup

Apr 1, 2009

I've ordered server from LeaseWeb two weeks ago and still wait for the server setup. Its looks to slow for me - we are used to wait only a few hours for servers setup in datacanters in the US.

I'm afraid that such slow response will be also in response and level of the support. Do you think I should cancel this service and look for other provider in Europe? If yes please suggest such provider.

I've paid in advance by paypal for 3 month(~ 500 EURO). Do you think I will be able to cancel that payment?

How To Migrate To Another Server

Mar 27, 2009

I'm currently on a Linode VPS and have a couple of websites that I want to migrate to a dedicated box. I wonder what would be the easiest way to do this: website files/directories, mysql databases, etc.

Can I run 'scp' to scoop everything out to the new server?

By the way, I don't have any control panel installed on the server.

After researched and looked around for info, i decide to go with DA but i still have a problem with my current server that if I'd like to migrate all my email accounts from OS X server to FreeBSD and reload the OS X server for that box to use for other purpose. I wonder if it is possible to migrate all email accounts from Mac OS X server to FreeBSD ?

For FreeBSD box, I am going to use DirectAdmin for web control panel since that box is AMD based. I would appreciate a lot for your help or hint otherwise thanks for reading.

Upgrading Server. How To Migrate Email To Temp Server

Oct 24, 2007

I have a collocated server which I'd like to do some upgrades to. I'm having it shipped back to me so that I can do the upgrades myself. However, since I use this as my primary email server, I need help setting something up so I have no email downtime.

I have a cheap shared hosting account with DreamHost so one idea I have is to point the domain to their servers and handle things through there for a bit. This seems like the "brute force" way to do it though since I have to wait for DNS propagation and what not. Another idea was to use a service like DynDNS' MailHop BackupMX which does storage and forwarding. However, this service is kind of expensive ($30) considering I'm only going to use it a week or so.

RDP Sessions - Forcing New Session

Sep 3, 2008

I've come across an issue where our users are not logging out of their terminal services session properly. Whether via TSWeb or MSTSC (remote desktop), if they close the browser or RDP window using the x it keeps the session alive for upto 1 minute.

The problem with this is that we use terminal services to host an application for users who can't install it, so other users that login (using a generic username and password) are adopting/hijacking the original session and seeing someone elses data.

Does anyone know of a way to force a new session each time a user connects to RDP? Whether via TSWeb or MSTSC (remote desktop)?

Forcing Secure Protocols?

Dec 25, 2008

how customers feel about being forced to use secure protocols?

For example on a cPanel server this would mean:

FTP: requires authentication over TLS
SMTP: relay requires SMTP authentication over TLS.
POP3: requires SSL
IMAP: requires SSL
cPanel: only https port enabled.
WHM: only https port enabled.
Webmail: only https port enabled.

Honestly, I don't think most customers would notice the difference so long as they were initially configured using secure protocols.

Combined with forcing reasonably strong passwords this should prevent a lot of iframe injection issues and SPAM related issues.

Forcing Script On Page Load

Nov 22, 2007

using somewhat clever techniques, I've managed to put together a script that will check various rbls, honeypots, and the like, ie: to keep the bad guys out, and the good guys in.

I've managed to put this into play on a per site basis, using simple

PHP Code:

<? require_once("/home/user/httpbl/script.php");?>

so that I don't have to change 500 scripts every time I want to modify it, I just change it once per server. Pretty simple there.

The problem is that I'd like to use this on a more global basis, as in putting it in apache configurations, so I don't have to load it on a per-site basis, and can catch more of what needs to be caught.

4 Years With LayeredTech:

Oct 5, 2009

We are the clients of LayeredTech for 4.5 years. Basically, we're fed up with poor service and below are the details. Love the stories about stupid circumstances leading to major catastrophes? You'll love the story below.

Another incident took place in June. We have ordered another hard drive for our server. During the maintenance, their technician obviously dropped an existing hard drive (never admitted by them), causing the bad sectors to appear immediately after upgrade. They were trying to replace it, but replaced a wrong hard drive (!). Their second attempt to fix things up resulted in a broken SCSI controller (!). Their verdict: the server is dead and can't be restored. It resulted in a huge downtime of three days. During these three days, we experienced the lack of professionalism from their staff (besides group leaders), poor coordination between the shifts (another shift comes and they have no idea of what the previous shift has started) and poor response times.

Now, they are moving their data center forcing clients to order a new server (you guys probably heard about it) and we have the same experience: poor coordination of departments. Friday: technicians offered a configuration and suggested to submit a ticket to sales (I've no idea why clients have to transfer information between their departments). Sales came on Monday refusing to fulfill this order suggesting to order a new server from the web site. We gave another attempt and placed an order, asking to upgrade memory and disk - the features we already purchased. Their response? It's not upgradable. Nothing was suggested.

I'm not to tell about the other issues, about red eyes of our technicians that can't get to bed waiting for their support to reply and restoring the server from backups. I'm not telling about our IPs whitelisted in major mailing services; years of work discarded by moving our server without asking us if we like to. Finally, I'm not telling about minor issues; they happened for these years.

Guys, we're fed up with LayeredTech and moving our server out (we have one more and refer it as "hostage"). Yes, we loose money for the purchased memory, for purchased a hard drive and for a setup fee from another provider. But we can't deal with them anymore. Anyone thinking about LT - keep away. Dear fellows who already own a server there - let's keep our fingers crossed; LT is great when nothing happens, but horrible dealing with incidents. Good luck, guys.

For LT management: if you want to proof the facts, my client ID is 4553.

Layeredtech - Review

Apr 30, 2008

Thought I may as well post up a review of Layeredtech having left them recently after 15 months of service.

Network: 10/10 - Don't recall a single downtime with them, certainly nothing that showed up on my cacti graphs & downtime would certainly show up.

Support: ?/10 - Unfortunately I can't comment on their support as it's something I never used. Ultimately though, given they are an unmanaged provider, support really should be limited to tracking down hardware issues etc.

Hardware: 10/10 - Never had a single problem with the box I was on.

Sales: 9/10 - I'll give em a 9 for the hassle of scanning ID etc, although in fairness these days, you expect that with pretty much all providers so not a major issue.

Other:-

I'd read bad things about their cancellation process, e.g. people continuing to get billed for cancelled servers etc, this hasn't happened to me, I gave my two days noticed (as required in their terms) and they did everything properly.

The only downside really was they increased the price by $9 or something, although in fairness, that was a pretty small increase and they made up for it by providing remote reboot ports, although I never did make use of them since my box never crashed.

Overall, a pretty positive experience, only left because I needed much more powerful hardware and LT's deals aren't as good as they once were.

Goodbye Layeredtech

Jun 25, 2008

While I only had a server with LT for testing and running our helpdesk off network... I'm happy to say that I'm finally fully moved from LT. (My new off network home is at GNAX, btw.)

I went from a reseller of 3+ years, with a peak of ~20 servers ... to nothing.

Way to go Layeredtech!

I started this thread out writing all about my history with LT, and my thoughts on what they've done... but I decided that it wasn't worth it. Layeredtech will probably continue doing what they are doing - swindling customers - and there's nothing I can do to stop it. I'm just happy to no longer be a victim.

LayeredTech Experience

Apr 21, 2008

Because they offer AppLogic we chose a company called LayeredTech.com a.k.a layeredtechnologies.com;

I have not had much issues with the access related issues and support was fairly quick;

But, i have decided not to use them as a DataCenter because

- One they they stopped our server by not giving any advance notification by telling us that there were a spammer and they do not allow any account with Spammer

- Earlier their warning were only for 8 hours . So if you happen to sleep when they send notifications you wake up a disabled server; They refused to improve this and they rejected to accept he fact that Web Hosting accounts can have many reasons that can be abused for spam.

- We have woken up to $1800 charge one day and we wanted to dispute it. They have given us RTG charts which does not explain anything about the detailed usage.

We have asked them to listen to our reports from WHM that shows only 200 GB usage rather than 15000 GB they charged us for. They were pretty quick to comment that WHM calculations are not reliable.

- On another note we paid for a year for Cpanel licenses. We had to cancel 2 Cpanel licenses and asked for a refund. They said, they could not refund the payment for Cpanel license; well they charged for a year. At least a credit? No. They offered to enable it if we need;

- Applogic? Another utopia. It does not work for cpanel purposes.

Whenever you have problems, High Availability feature never works. The other server never picks up the functionality.

When you ask why, they say you put so many accounts on one server.

Well, you want us to put 250 account on a server prices for $700 USD per month? That does not make any sense;

I have used in the past so many Data Centers

- Bustnet
- Iweb
- NAC
- Netelligent
- Dedicatednow

Layered is the least flexible one. They do not give any value to your thoughts and rights;

I have started using netelligent.ca and they are great guys. I will be canceling all my accounts with Layered as soon as my account term paid will expire.

Just wanted to share my experience

Layeredtech Killing Itself

Jun 29, 2008

I remember long time ago when I used to host on Layered Tech fast network good stuff, affordable price my first server costed me 90 dollars on Layered Tech with about 20 dollar setup one time fee.

I visited today after about 2 years and I'm pretty much surprised to see their prices they are by no means affordable as they were previously and the setup fee is now 50 dollars on every server.

With such large number of servers in their data centers shouldn't they be able to make them affordable? yet I have seen same server on WHT ads section for fraction of the price LT expects and not to mention the excessive setup fee.

I'm not complaining, its their business, but is it really helping them? I cant be the only person feeling this anti-love for Layered Tech being a former LT customer, I had no problems with them or their services I just left after I sold my site and moved into VPS. But seeing the new prices its a bit shocking.

Forcing Qmail To Acknowledge Typo In Recipient Email Address And Try Again...

Jul 27, 2006

I was looking at my qmail queue using qmHandle and noticed that one of the emails sitting in the queue was simply there because of a blatant typo in the email address.

Therefore, I went to the appropriate file in

/var/qmail/queue/mess/*/*

and edited the file to reflect the new email address.

Does this work at all, or should the user resend the email? I naturally don't want to look at email that isn't intended for me (which is why qmHandle is a useful tool -- because only headers are available) nor do I want someone to know that I know their email is sitting in the queue (because they might assume that I *am* reading their email even though I'm not!)

I tried qmHandle -a to no avail; the email address has been edited as per my changes, but the email is still just sitting there.
