Limestonenetworks.com - New Account
Aug 11, 2008
after reading the complete thread about Limestone's TOS and weighing their latest server offering, I took the plunge and just spent $160 on a monthly server.
My email from them is dated today at 6:44 pm.
Let's see how long it takes to get this server in my hands. Nothing special in the order, an extra hd for backup, that is it.
I'm a newbie here but not a newbie to unmanaged servers. If this one goes off without a hitch, I'll move a few sites from a box I currently have a ManageMyBox (no problems with them, at all, just looking for a datacenter closer to home and this seemed like a good deal).

My Review / Experiances of Limestonenetworks
My Advise Avoid like the plauge
01-07-09 01:14 PM
I placed an order for a server
01-08-2009
Server is ready
Orginal Config
DotnetPanel
Windows Web 2008
I had problems from the start
IIS Not starting correctly
Dotnetpanel issues including adding websites.
So I fixed what I could and then employed someone to do the work.
Afterlooking around I found someone who looked proffessional and told me he could do the work.
He got back to me after a few hours and said their were problems with the server OS and DotnetPanel install.
It would take longer to fix but he would try
After A day or so, he sent me and email stating he was unable to get it to work correctly and said the entire OS needed to be reinstalled.
So I contacted LSN and told them about the problems I was having and decided to ditch the Windows 2008 Web server for a more roboust soloution.
I went for the classic Centos and Hypervm soloution.
LSN happy loaded my server with a fresh OS and I proceed to employ my normal guy to install and configure the server
AV went on
firewall went on
Lex went on
Hypervm went on
IP Address Binded to network adapters.
But all the VPS we setup only had the "local lan adapter IP" making them inaccessiable from the outside world.
After somemore looking at the matter I resorted to contact LSN and get them to remove /change the interfaces.
This gave the VPS the external IPS but were still not connectable from the outside world. so far I spent 65$ on the orinal comapny who looked at setting up the web 2008 server additioanl 45$ on a diffrent tech to confirm the fault and been billed for a second money at singlehop.
so I contacted "customer support" and all I wanted was a refund, even if it was parcial. I just wanted a refund. I lost out on to much money and to many hours sitting infront of the computer typing up support contacts.
Please read the transcript below I strongly advise you not to use LSN they are not a helpful company
You are now chatting with ryan
ryan: Hello, thank you for visiting Limestone Networks! How may I assist you today?
ibby@: Hello Ryan, I want to make a complaint.
ryan: Oh no! What appears to be the issue? ....

I am very happy go give everyone a review of limestonenetworks.com
Here is My story!
I was in a bunch and needed a VPS server because My other one went down unexpectedly, so i needed a new server in under 5 hours. I looked all over, and came upon one very special company, Limestonenetworks.com. I placed the order, and selected to have HyperVM/OpenVZ installed. The server was setup in 3 Hours! This was the fastest setup time for a dedicated server I have ever seen. When I submit a support ticket, I have a response within 30 mins. This is truly one of the best datacenters ever! Their staff is very helpful! To be honest, I am so pleased with them, I just now ordered a second server from them! Yes, You do pay a bit more, but you definatly get what you pay for, and ill tell you what, this extra 2 cents is worth it all the way!
I would recommend Limestonenetworks.com to ANYONE!

My first ever post on WHT and I am happy its a positive one. These are a few words I have to say in favor of people at LimestoneNetworks.
I ordered a Intel Core2Quad Q6600 dedicated server with them with upgrading most of the resources to the topmost at about 6 AM CST this Friday. They recently included a Fraud Check in their TOS which I was not aware of but only became notified once I had signed up. It involved uploading the CC images and a Govt ID.
Btw: their new control panel Rockware actually Rocks !
I uploaded the docs promptly and since chat was offline I called them up and got connected with a Support rep. He told me that a Sales rep will check on it at 8 AM CST. At 8 AM, one of the sales rep promptly acknowledged the ticket for verification and it had the comments of a 24-hour turnaround, which scared me a little.
Wonder ! Wonder ! Since all my stuff was verifiable and without any issues... I got reply within 20 mins stating my server was being sent for provisioning.
Another wonder ! another 20 mins and my server was showing the server in my Rockware CP as being built. I was pressing F5 like crazy and everytime I saw something new in my CP regarding my server. Which is like the most rapid updates I have seen ever !
Overall, even after the verification delay, I got my server in 4 hours !
Subsequently I had to open some tickets to them for issues that were from my side and 100% (yes 100%) of the time, someone responded within 5 mins.
Hoping to post a similar (if not more) positive review after couple of months.

current LSN customers (if possible) check what kind of hardware is their server?
I am looking @ Q9550 offer they have.
If somebody could check MB, RAM, HDD models.
Also, is there anyone on their 10TB plan?
Do they really allow customers to do this BW?

I have been with them for 3+ months now and the service has been amazing. I am pleased with the superb fast and knowledgeable customer support.
Going more into details...
I have submitted couple support tickets and all were answered on a timely manner, with proper guidance. Also their live-chat is very good, the rep. is knowledgeable and can provide technical support. The staff seems quite nice, and I am loving their new rockware panel, makes it easy for anyone to configure dns, pay invoice, check invoice, submit tickets, etc, etc. do anything you need to do regarding your server.
The overall service has been amazing, my site is quite server intensive and it loads very fast, my visitors are happy, and barely any downtime -- definitely a thumbs up from me
Where/How do I submit my domain to verify the review like I have seen in couple other threads?

Want to share my expirience after 2 weeks on limestone netwroks and psm.
For starters - i'm very happy with the service (~230$/m)
I started out with a webmin controled server without management and after 2 days of try and fail and new threads in wht i finally switched to cpanel with psm service, switch was really fast and limestone has a deal which gets you 5 bucks off psm's monthly fee.
limestone accually reinstalled my server and added cpanel and then contacted psm to get my software initialied (i even got my software configs set as my old server so i'll have a stable move).
software initiation took about 2 days with psm but that's due to special software requirment needed for my site to transfer.
responce times from psm and limestone are lightning fast and besides an overcharge of 39 bucks due to new software bug on limestone(got 40$ back yay), I can barely say something bad about this new system of running my dedi server with both limestone taking care of hardware and psm for all software issues - both do really well and fast on answering any kind of ticket.
ill give one example for this on the ticket i submited yesterday to psm, all my sent php mail() came out as spam on gmail.com, after contacting psm i got answered in less than 1 hour that my reverse dns aren't set correctly - then i got them setup with limestone and it took about 90 minutes to close this whole issue.
being moved from shared hosting to dedi servers I must say to all the new movers out there like I was that the combinitation of limestone + psm is great, you'll get fast and quallity support on all ends.
i've left out other info like uptime because this has been mentioned before and when combining the included psm monitoring with the great limestonenetworks uptime, downtime is a word i really forgot about.

I just want to preface this by saying I was on here reading up about hosting companies, their reviews and limestone networks after a phone call with Ryan A over there, was definitely going to be my provider.
However, I ordered my server about a week ago, and have some massive issues.
First and most concerning : Support.
There has been about 4 tickets from me, with no response for about 9+ hours, one ticket (when they incorrectly installed DotNetPanel, and I couldn't start hosting domains yet even) they didn't get back to me for almost 2 days. It looked like all hope was lost.
I guess (speaking with Kris there) they're working on tightening up the provisioning time, etc. With that said, they DID in fact fix my DotNetPanel installation, and all looked well.
Lastnight I figured I'd check my bandwidth, for kicks. I've been remote desktop connecting to my machine fairly frequently, maybe for about 10 minute sessions a piece, nothing major. I have nothing running on my box, I ran a couple of tests to check out pings, server loads so I figured I'd plop a quick and simple game server up there to test it. I checked my "bandwidth report" and this is what I found out:
[url]
Mind you, I have no mail server at all, nothing. in the span of 5 days I've used almost my entire quota, without running almost ANY serverside applications.
Currently my dedicated server remains shut down until this issue can be resolved. I entered yet another ticket lastnight, had one reply this morning, and it appears I'm back into the lost ticket desert.
Remember, just my experience. My point of view so far may change however, but at this rate it's been pretty horrible. 5 days on setting up a dedicated and have it all ready to go, I had to re-pay my old provider for another month due to Limestonenetwork's ability to not install DotNetPanel correctly, I'm pretty displeased at the moment.

Just wanted to take a minute and report that I am still extremely pleased with my LSN dedicated box. I have a 3ghz amd dual core with 4gig ram and 2x250gb hdd. No problems at all and staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. I don't want to go through the laundry list of things they have done for me and to my server (they are in other threads) but just wanted to say that they continue to impress.

My company ordered server on 23/10/2009 from LimeStone, and they asked for verification hence i given them all the ID that they need. After that, they told me they couldn't accept AMEX and have to pay through PayPal, i have paid since and NOW again they asked for ID again.
Why i have to verify for second time since i have posted all my ID and utility bill for first time? I don't think i need to give so much verification since PayPal has already verified my account as i owned PayPal Verified Business Account, this kind of "repeating" or double verification never happen when i order from ThePlanet/EV1 where i am looking to migrate to Limestone Networks.
This is very unpleasant experience and I don't want to wait for more than a week to get a server.

how can they sell UNLIMITED ALPHA MASTER RESELLER to others?
Is that true that they are your customer?
All I know is, You do not sell unlimited space at limestonenetworks.com.
Are those sites cheaters or are the illegal? I did not find a specific or complete postal address or person name on those sites.

I joined Limestonenetworks back in 2008 when it was a small company. At the time they offered the best price on the server I was looking for, so I took the plunge. The first 2 months were great, I enjoyed the stable network, and responses from the support team were fairly quick (1-2 hours response time). From there on it was all downhill, my servers were constantly down, and the support team took longer to answer my tickets. I didn't think this was a big problem, so I stayed with Limestonenetworks even though it was having problems with their network. Near December an incident occurred that really pushed me over the edge. My servers had been down for hours, so I opened a support ticket, and one of the agents replied and told me that the downtime was due to an upgrade in their network.
Again, I came to conclude that it could be far worst, so I stayed, one of the reasons was that I didn't want to switch my game servers over. It's important to keep in mind when you are running game servers, IPs play an important part because that's where you get your traffic. Near January the network upgrade at Limestonenetworks was still taking place which caused my bandwidth meter to stop working. This really scared me because I didn't want to get charged for overages due to the fact that my servers were receiving DDOS attacks, and I wouldn't know when to close the ports.
This incident actually turned out to be positive for me because even though I went over my bandwidth quota they didn't charge me for overages. I was very happy because this was like a late Christmas present, so now I was even more happy to give my money to Limestonenetworks. Now you might ask the question, how is this going downhill? Even though they didn't charge me for the overages, I still lost many clients who were angry at the fact that their game server were down.
In the end this network upgrade actually cost me 3 clients who were paying ~$60 per month. I let this slide because at this point I already had two servers with Limestonenetworks and I really didn't want to switch over due to the fact I would lose my IPs. The next month, February, was no different, I had more issues with Limestonenetworks. Starting of this month I was getting large DDOS attacks, which kept pushing my bandwidth over the quota, and I ended up paying close to $200 dollars just for bandwidth overages.
At this point they started to nickel and dime me for every single penny they could get of me. I don't know if they were having financial problems, or if it was due to another reason. Again in March I went over the quota, but at this time they told me that I had to pay per gigabyte which would result in a $500+ charge in bandwidth, and after talking with multiple agents, I was finally able to reach an agreement. They had changed a policy all of the sudden due to the fact that they knew I was a good customer and would keep paying for the overages.
The problem I had here was that I didn't mind upgrading to plan after I knew how much bandwidth was going to be used, since they don't offer any sort of DDOS protection, and game servers result in large DDOS attacks occasionally. I understand that Limestonenetworks was not at fault, but by making me pay per gigabyte was a bit harsh, since I had never been late on a payment, and had multiple servers. Try to remember that I stayed with this company even though I lost multiple clients because of their network outages, but they didn't care about this, all the care about is nickling and diming customers.
From that point on I have been living on the edge because I don't want to pay for an upgrade before hand due to the fact I don't know how much bandwidth my server will be using. Even if I upgrade to a different package it does not offer an insurance due to the fact that if I receieve a large DDOS than I orignally predicted, I would still end up paying per gigabyte.
This company has turned from having potential to just making their customers run away. Now the other problems I had with Limestonenetwork is the support they offer, which has been declining since I joined. The associates are very rude and don't really care about the customer's experience. I didn't include every problem I had with Limestonenetwork because it would make it a very long read.
Network - 10/10
Downtime - 5/10
Customer Service - 2/10
Overall Experience - 4/10
Would I recommend this company? NO, I urge everyone to stay away, unless they like to deal with problems on a daily basis.
Also from reading other topics on this forum, I personally believe that Limestonenetwork is overselling and their network can not handle the load.

existing account have enabled catch all account automatically & i don't know how?
Main >> Server Configuration >> Tweak Settings
Default catch-all/default address behavior for new accounts. "fail" is usually the best choice if you are getting mail attacks.
currently it is tick marked on fail
And forwarders has been set to e.g jeetu@jeetu.info to domain automatically & also i don't how?
when i try to delete this forwarder its shown deleted successfully
Code:
Email Forwarding Maintenance
jeetu@jeetu.info's mail will no longer be redirected to jeetu.
then again i checked forwarder & found that forwarder is not deleted why?
what could be the problem?
due to this our clients are facing out of disk space running problem & they are not able to get future emails
1. now i want to disable catch all account for all existing accounts at one go
2. also i want to terminate forwarders for all existing users at one go
Let me know how to do this
