New Hosting At Zone.net
Aug 12, 2007
For those who cannot decide, I would simply like to say that after reading the posts on this site and making contact with half a dozen potential VPS hosts, I decided to go with Zone.net. To avoid a rather long shut down for maintenance, I wanted to move 20 sites in a big hurry. Though the folks at zone.net had their hands full with many other matters, like getting some new equipment up and running, they extended me the utmost courtesy, responded promptly to all tickets, and had me going within the narrow time frame at our disposal.
I think the right word for their hosting is snappy, but for their staff and work ethic, A+ would be the right rating.

I am having an issue where it appears an incorrect time zone may be on my account. I am in Mountain Daylight Time and it appears that it's putting me as being in Eastern Daylight Time.
I was told that you can put a line such as:SetEnv TZ America/Denver
in your htaccess.txt file.
I wasn't sure where to put it so I put it at the end of the hdaccess.txt file.
The issue is it appears it still did not fix it. Is there another way to set the time zone or did I do something incorrectly?

I joined WHT just yesterday I think. I read good reviews on zone.net from 2-3 people I think. I ordered with Asmallorange.com but to go with zone.net, I cancelled the order there and got a refund immediately. I don't know what on earth made me do this. Look what I receive.
At first, I left a support ticket asking server specs etc and other pre sale questions so I can go ahead and buy. Got my fist responce after 6 hours. Kind of turn off but still thought of givnig them a try.
I must say that they said VPS with plesk can be setup in 30minutes but cpanel takes 1 day. They got me the server in 10 hours. It was well appreciated. I was happy.
Now since this is my first time with VPS, I asked for support that I am not able to transfer my Vbulletin forum (teenhut.net) an active teen site. I did everything fine. I have got more than enough experience on transfering and installing VBulletin or other php scripts. Now, Database errors starts coming in. Whole day spent thinking it is my fault somewhere.
Finally today I tried to install wordpress and even that doesnt work. Zone.net said they don't offer script installation help but only help if there is a server problem. It was no script error. The script doesnt connect to database only. Thats horrible! Ofcource, maybe some kind of mistake. I realized this when even a WORDPRESS BLOG could not get installed. I have just done too much, tried EVERYTHING but nothing worked.
I initiated another ticket asking for support on this. I submitted at 1pm and now it is 11pm. Only reply I got is : -
Quote - Richard, Zone.net
Hi,
Did you create the database in cPanel first? When you login to WHM/cPanel go to List Accounts, and then click on the cPanel icon for that domain, and then from the cPanel page go ahead and create the database.
In the config file, put localhost as the mysql server, and the username and password you selected. Let me know if this works for you.
Regards,
Richard
ZONE.NET

Last night, Brian named guy also entered config file but could not make it to work.
So, Zone.net staff made an attempt to ask "Have I made a database in cpanel?" I am talking about vbulletin installation and that is the support I get for VPS.
I bought Managed VPS for $65.
I requested cancellation and then read TOS - No refund policy on VPS. $65 is not a big deal but this is not how I wanted to spend my $$. I am still hoping to get some reply.
Either Problem Rectification(Hope, so I can spend 1 month and run away) OR Refund (not so hopes in this). What do you guys think will happen? Will they rectify the problem? Or refund may it be partial refund? Or they wll just leave as it is and wont respond to my tickets also.
To be specific, RENT A SERVER, where there is a way to connect to database not known to you and them as well. Host HTML PAGES, thats all you get for $65 in Zone ?
And now I think the good reviews of Zone.net were Paid! Sorry, but thats all comes in my mind. I feel cheated.
Look at my site, it is down since a day - teenhut.net

I came in here a couple days back looking for a reliable, powerful, and well priced VPS. I went through a couple companies and one of the first that I really seriously considered was Zone.net.
It's really all about first impressions and zone.net wins this. Their site looks great and definitely made a good impression on me. I had some questions about hosting a Debian VPS; they answered them quickly and completely. Their support is first-class and very personable. I waited on hold for less than a minute, and was instantly directed to a very knowledgeable agent.
After setting up my VPS, I can tell you that my sites get some good traffic and zone.net is handling it all great. Their bandwidth is fast, their servers are first class, and they're definitely the kind of host everybody should have.
I've been through many other hosts in search of a decent VPS and I definitely will be staying with zone.net for a while. I'm not affiliated at all with them, just a very satisfied customer. If you're thinking of opening something with them and would like an honest, third party opinion, don't hesitate to PM me.

I just wanted to take a minute to express how happy I am with my new VPS from Zone.net.
There was a minor delay getting my VPS set up and they were upfront and gave me a good credit for it. This is rare in this day and age and I felt I should share how well they communicated.
So far the VPS is screaming and hosting my 3 sites without breaking a sweat.
Ill post a week or month report as I get time. This site helped me find Zone.net, so some more good feedback can't hurt. :-)

I have multiple valleywag friends who have gone with Zone.NET for server hosting. I decided to do the same a few weeks back and use them as well. I never got my IP and server info and called customer support. No kidding... been 9 days and Level 1 support kees saying someone will get back to me.
So today I call them and ask them if they are going out of biz because customer support is impossible bad, and he basically said yes!!! Wish they would have told me that upfront.
Anyway, wasted a few weeks with them. Now my cohorts and I are on the lookout for some new hosting companies. All recs welcome

I'm trying to setup an option on my server. I hope one of you can help me out a tad...
I'm trying to configure my server to allow an option that I usually call wildcard DNS. I need any domain that's pointed to a server to go to a parked page (just like a welcome to <domain> it's coming soon). I can do the parked page, just need to figure out the DNS/Apache settings.
I know it can't be too hard but I just can't find it...

It has come the time to find out who REALLY IS Zone.net
This is the moment where zone.net is experiencing their worst situation ever. We are all offline since friday, we are all extremely nervous and some of us are even losing clients because of the prolonged downtime. Many of us have sent awful emails to zone.net and there are thousands of complaints arriving continuously to zone.net.
I'm amazed to see how zone.net is behaving in front of this awful & critical situation.
Believe it or not, they are politely answering the emails, they opened a special page where they update everything that's going on so that we all know what's happening and what they are doing, they have a lot of engineers working continuously to solve the situation as soon as possible and they really are devoted to end this nightmare. So this is NOT only our problem -as their customers-, but their problem as well and therefore, we are all together on this and as such we should help each other instead of screaming at them.
Zone.net is showing with facts and with their behaviour that they are a SERIOUS AND VERY DECENT AND PROFESSIONAL company who deserves our support & help because it is nowadays extremely difficult to find decent and professional people like the one at zone.net. The fact that there's a problem today doesn't mean more than what it really is, and that problem we are suffering now has taught us that zone.net is one of the best companies we can possibly find. I'm pretty sure & confident this great people will satisfactorily solve the situation in a short while.
You actually know a company when that company is in trouble. Otherwise they are all great....

to edit a DNS Zone (via WHM=> DNS Zone Edit) of a domain hosted on my server & which NS's are routed to.
New setting should route domain to a seperate server (i.e HTTP, FTP) and leave EMAIL on my server.
I've changed all settings, except MX & mail CNAME, to the new IP (This includes NS's, A's, CNAME's - WWW & ftp). Still the WWW is not working and email has stopped working localy.

A few months ago, I helped a client setup some services on a VPS provided by zone.net. The setup process was easy and the VPS was activated very quickly. The online support staff is very fast at answering any questions I throw their way. I'm also impressed with their online customer portal -- very well organized.
Reliability has been perfect (as far as I can tell). The VPS is very responsive and obviously not overloaded. The price is very reasonable.

Anyone out here using zone.net for VPS hosting?
I'm considering their VM200 fully managed package. Via current special it's a little over $50/month. 1024 MB SLM (Guaranteed), 30 gig disk, 300gig transfer. 6 ips. This includes cpanel or plesk. I also like the fact that they offer incremental upgrades.
Sounds good, but being a newbie, I just don't know. I really want a reliable host with good support. I don't see too many reviews on them here... is that good or bad?
I'm also considering Liquidweb.

I wrote a while back about my 9 month experience with ZONE.net, and now certain circumstances have come up that have brought the need for me to to move to a different datacenter in southern California. However, my experience "in the ZONE" was exceptional, and I didn't want to walk out on them without a final word here on WHT to let everyone know what a wonderful time it was hosting with them.
In June of 2007 I was beginning to grow my own web development & client solutions business and decided it was time to move from a shared box to a "more private" VDS. I don't jump into things quickly however, so I had planned a week or so of research for the best price/quality/service combination. I spent days on here reading reviews, checked out 20 or 30 different companies and websites, and pitted plan against plan.
Eventually I narrowed it down to "the top three" and finally went with ZONE.net. They lured me in with some amazing deals in the "VPS Offers" advertising forum here, and I liked seeing the activity of their sales guys on WHT.
As you'll see echoed over and over again by happy customers on this forum, I wasn't disappointed by my choice. Throughout the year I filed some 16 support tickets which were all dealt with swiftly and as expected. As my company began to grow, I even went through migrating to a larger VPS plan with them, which was handled perfectly and went through effortlessly. I've "scaled-up" with other hosting companies in the past (when I worked for another company) and have had horrible experiences (plans change and prices fluctuate and you can't always get the same kind of deal you had before), but these guys were wonderful and everything went through without a snag.
Their network is quick, their support is amazing, and their prices are incredible. For clients of mine who need a VPS, I always recommend the ZONE. You won't be disappointed.

I've found my previous _immediate_ cancellation request was deleted by support as it never existed. My tickets (Ticket ID: 868231, 453438, 719425) are unanswered. I sent 3 emails to admin@zone.net and sk@zone.net and had no reply. I created high priority tickets to sales@zone.net, billing@zone.net and even abuse@zone.net. Only abuse@zone.net replied me that he "forwarding your ticket to our billing department and they will get back to you shortly".
Instead of terminating my acc billing generated a new invoice generated after 2 days I requested immediate cancellation.

Has anyone else here had issues recently with the Zone.NET online sales chat? Over the last 36 hours it's been saying that the chat is online, but I'll sit in the queue for hours at a time without a reply.
I opened up a chat session earlier today and got a response, however they never replied to any of my questions - is there anything up over there?
Is their pre-sales support usually this poor? Before contacting them I checked out their reputation on WHT and they looked like their product and support were top notch.
Being in Australia can sometimes make speaking to live chat a bit difficult, however I've tried at various times through the day/night and at all times it's said the live chat was online.

I can only encourage you to check out zone.net.
My website receives between 9,000 and 12,500 unique pageviews a day and
I am now at zone.net and their VPS hosting is awesome,
not only the speed the my pages now load with, but also the custom support that helped me out with the domain transfer and setting up the VPS.
I got the VM-200 Virtual Enterprise Server that comes with 768MB memory, 25GB space and 400GB traffic a month. The server specs are as following:
Plesk version psa v8.1.1_build81070423.15 os_FedoraCore 5
Operating system Linux 2.6.9-023stab044.4-enterprise
CPU GenuineIntel, Intel(R) Xeon(R)CPU E5345 @ 2.33GHz
It is a bit pricey at 65$ a month, but one of their service staff members gave the following promo-code to me:
It is FIFTEENOFF and deducts 15% of every monthly amount-payable, leaving this server beast at 55$ a month, which is financially sustainable as long as my dear users continue to click those ads that make sense to them.
In contrast to Liquidweb the package I have at zone.net has 256MB more ram at a lower price.
Also they have five datacenters to choose from within the United States in contrast to two at LW.
I recently got to know while trying to sort out my German .de domains, that they run a special promotions campaign this summer. They got some cool new special deals this summer.

I believe in giving credit where it's due and zone.net definitely deserves one.
I've been contemplating to switch to VPS for a very long time and choosing a provider is not only nerve wrecking, it was really really hard as the 'contenders' on my list all have really great reviews here on WHT
However Zone.net have really made my decision easy. I have initially decided to go for wiredtree and plan to sign up end aug. But when I saw zone's promo ad and seankoons advice to contact sales for custom coupon, that's just what I did. I was plasantly suprised that they could accomodate to my request and thus I signed up immediately.
My VPS was provisioned the next 1 and a 1/2 hr later but the VZPP link was not working. I submitted a ticket and was responded with issue rectified the next 3 minutes! another WOW factor! I've also submitted request for server hardening and this was done within 1/2 hr.
Then I realized that the memory allocated was not as per agreed, so another tkt submitted and responded within 10-15 minutes. There was a misunderstanding, nothing bad but Richard the sales person have bravely acknowledged the error and honoured the deal and that's not all, throws in an xtra bonus.
That gestures sure made an impact on how a company values their customers. My server now is up and running, accessing whm/cpanel is super fast and ping times are the best I've seen for a US based server. I'm in Singapore right now. By the way it'd be great if you guys can ping at your end (state your location) and post it here Will really appreciate that.

I've been with Zone.net since late august and I couldn't be happier.
They always respond to tickets quickly and even called me once time when I was having a server problem to let me know how things were going with it.
The only problem I've had was when I ordered two new IPs and they were installed wrong or something as my CPU usage shot to 100% and the server kept crashing. I had this outage for two weeks but they emailed me daily to tell me how the fix was going and ended up giving me a month free for my trouble!
Brian and Sean are two great guys and zone.net has made a VPS customer for life!

I was encouraged by the reviews of Zone.net on this forum to buy a VPS from them on 20 August. VM-200 Virtual Enterprise Server.
Before I pay, I asked some question about the software I need and got the reply that no problem, they can install them. I want Plesk, Debian, JDK 1.5 or above, MySql 5.0 or above, Tomcat 5.5.17, mysqlAdmin. And please help integrate the tomcat and apache.
August 21, I opened a ticked to ask their support to help me install the softwares. 15 Hours later, I got reply of following: "The underlying problem here is we are missing a package known as the tomcat module, and there is no tomcat module for debian at swsoft.
If you require tomcat administration, I recommend using CentOS or Fedora as we have other customers on this and working fine."
After amost 5 hours of my cofirm, they finished the reinstalled the server.
Now, I found the JDK is V1.4 and they told me that "unfortunately this is the latest supported version of jdk on your OS+CP. If you are looking for the absolute latest version, FC7 is your best option."
Why? They didn't inform me after reinstalled, now they told me that if I want the software I have to reinstall the server again! I asked before, and got the confirmation that they can install them. But now, everything was changed.
How many times will they reinstall it?

I recently had the pleasure of working with zone.net for a project of mine and I have to say that their attention to detail and quality of workmanship was at a level that surpassed my expectations.
Their support time responses have consistantly been both swift (I would say no more than two hour response time) and elaborate and I could see that they knew what they were doing.
I thank you again Sean from zone.net and the technician that helped me - I think you know who he is - is probably the friendliest and overall best support tech I have ever dealt with.

What can I say about ZONE.NET! I can't say anything was good about this outfit. The server setup took 22 hours from the time that I paid my order. The VPS WAS SLOW AS A TURTLE, probably oversold and running on some kind of SATA setup you could tell it was dying and lethargic, any action even a df took minutes, these guys are definitely clogging up their rental machines.
The worst part was that they actually TURNED MY VPS OFF, even though I paid close to $100 for this piece of trash virtual junk server, because they say that I exceeded my resource usage, even though I didn't pass my memory or traffic limits. They complained that I was using up all my disk space 55GB. Well if they don't want to give the disk space, don't sell it as 55GB, hell I bought a dedicated server with CARO.NET for $125 for THREE MONTHS and it has a 160G SATA drive and DUAL CORE XEON CPU and I dont have to put up with any jokers telling me to 'lower my disk usage' or else they'll cut off my service.
I'm not going to pay this junk ZONE anymore for this, NOBODY can tell me if I can use all my disk space or not. They make me sick, they are horrible business people and will just rob you and try to make you upgrade.
The other thing is their daily backups, this is a fraud and a fake, they HAVE NO BACKUPS!@!!!!! Do NOT believe them when they say that they have the backup, I took a backup many times of my VPS and found every time after 1 day that someone from the ZONE had erased it probably it was taking up too much disk space on that SATA. If you think your data is safe with ZONE BACKUP be careful, it's not safe at all. All your data will be erased at any time, if they decide you use too much of their SATA resources. If you think it's safe you're wrong, ther eis nothing safe with ZONE, they can dump you any time. All they are doing here at WEBTALK is joking us, and trying to get us to buy into their little ZONE, it's not real, stay away from the ZONE!!! They are lying to these people like they lied to me praying that some guy will signup for their service.
Also another ridiculous part of this scam is the domain name they have which is supposedly some NASA website with NASA DNS servers look at it you will see it from your own selves. Look at the guy who owned the ZONE.NET since 1993-1994 it's a Chinese guy for last 10 years, this guy Sean who runs this rental server host is pretending to be the big guy with NASA.GOV DNS servers, it's all fake and not true. What VPS host has NASA.GOV domain name servers, he is lying about this, he is lying about everything. He had said a long time ago that he had 'friends in high places' when asked about this fraud. Instead of fixing it so nobody else would go after him he left it there, hoping some dummies would think he was afficiliated with NASA or the UNITED STATES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, I'm sure they would be VERY HAPPY to hear about this scam.... I can hear the shackles scrapin' down cell block D, better fix that fast.

BUYER BEWARE, you will lose your data, and end up worst than that buyavps scam ever could have been. They took my $95.00 but don't let them get yours, I'm saying goodbye to VPS forever it's a scam when sold by jokers who rent servers from the cheapest dedicated provider on Earth. You'd think that a guy with NASA DNS Would have better servers than this. All this talk about many datacenters, are is no such thing, he is just leasing some rental server in there and saying he has a location there, there is no datecenter, just some rentabox.
Better to stay with BIG COMPANY like SERVINT, even POWERVPS has dissapointed me in the past with this power off thanks to many resource usage in 2005, so all companies are dirty like this. They dont want you to pump up their servers with too much load becuase then they can't run 400 vps on the box like they want to do. What I am doing now with my op is moving it to completely to CARO DELL DEDICATED server and I'm VERY HAPPY about this. I ordered the CARO DELL yesterday and got the logons within few hours I was very impressed.
I bought XEON server for 1/2 price of this JUNK ZONE, I am VERY HAPPY about this, my idea is to stay away from this kind of people becuase they are not serious, and no good can come from guys that are not even saying truth about their domain registration. VPS in general could be good idea, but when its guys like this selling it and pretending to be something they are not then it's bad. He is lying about everything, I hope NASA is happy about this when I show them some proofs from the forum where Sean is saying about his relation with NASA.
ZONE is just a guy renting some cheap server from SOFTLAYER with a blown out domain sporting NASA.GOV DNS, and using Virtuozzo to sell his VPS which he will SHUT DOWN if you uveruse your resources with NO WARNING!
Who cares if he made a warning anyway, he took my money, and I got nothing but 'abuse mails', he better watch his wording next time he calls someone an ABUSER .

Stay away from Zone.Net, Zone.Net suck.
At November 26th, 2006, using a WHT coupon, we ordered annually a VPS "Enterprise" in Zone.Net, running it's dedicated server in The Planet. We evaluated Zone.Net and it was fine, then we posted a review in WHT. But Zone.Net has migrated to SoftLayer and some problems with its Plesk CP, not solved, turned the VPS unstable. To solve the problem we replaced the Zone.Net Plesk by our own Direct Admin. We informed Sean that we will renew our Enterprise there at the renewal date, November 26, 2007, and Sean has replied "sounds good". But on last October Zone.Net tried bill us monthly illegally, using our credit card. For tunatelly, in order to prevent actions of suckers, we ever change our credit card by another after annual orders...
