PRIMARYVPS.COM's False Tactics: IS IT OK
Jun 13, 2007
I was surprised to see that they had 100% uptime in May according to their logs. I am used to see 99.98%, 98.97% etc. etc. with other hosts. But even 100% is quite possible.
On June 7th the uptime suddenly dropped below 96% with avg. 7 outages. I was really disappoined as I was planning to signup. But after a day or so it again rose to 100% with 0 outages on all of their servers which clearly explained the 100% uptime of May.
According to them they had a attack because of which IPs of nodes had to be changed and subsequently they also changed it on hyperspin.com (their server monitoring service). I immediately signed up on hyperspin to verify this claim. Changing the IP or hostname of a monitored service on hyperspin doesn't reset its log is what i clearly observed. Its quite visible that the logs were reset intensionally to hide the actual server uptime and make it always show 100% percent. When i reverted back to them on this issue, they prefered to close the ticket. I just want to know from other hosts, it this practice common or primaryvps.com is an exception? Well as mentioned on their site, the uptime log is located at:
hyperspin.com/publicreport/30037/20077
But don't expect too much. It has only two figures 0 for outages and 100% for uptime.

I feel that it is important to share this information here!
I bought the VPS about 10 days ago!And everything go wells until 3 days ago!
I can not login to my control panel.So I submited a ticket for help!
all together I submited 5 tickets!
But no answer to me until now.And now I see all the tickets I have submit are just disappear!

I signed up with PrimaryVPS about a week back. The price was good, the setup took only an hour or so, and the support was great - helpful and prompt! Since then, there's been 53 minutes of downtime (reported by host-tracker) which the support guys blamed on a kernel problem, and now their support app is down with the message: "License Error: Key file has expired"
Are these just some temporary hickups or signs of time to come?
I hope their growing popularity hasn't made them oversell nodes on their VPS's.

I inquired about this sales. New company good price Good service. WRONG.
So I get on live chat and talk to Mike and tell him all the requirements I ahve He says no problem pay for managed hosting at $25 a month and we will install all of that for you. So i go to check out enter in there coupon code for 20% off for lifetime and when i get to the paypal page to pay whole different story. Says 20% first month then regular price the rest. So I cancel out of that go back to live chat and get Mike I tell him what happened he says no it is 20% for life. So i take his word for it and head back over to checkout. This time it wont let me there site has a problem and wont complet checkout. So back to live chat I go. this time they transfer me to victor. Who informs me they will only install my stuff if I pay $25 a month and pay them $50 and hour. I tell him I have a guy to install it all for one-time fee of $35 can you do it for that no our fee is $50. Plus they want to charge me $25 a month for fully managed. When i can forget the fully managed and only pay one-time $35. Victor found he would rather argue with me and then try and insult me about a typo error.
Stay away they will not be in business for long. See bottom of chat below. ....

Almost been a month with PrimaryVPS, VPS is fast with excellent support from them.
Helped with every single issue. They solved my problem in midnight via YIM, support tickets, and chats. They were able to help me at all hours also.
With me, PrimaryVPS is great. And I am going to buy more VPS from them.
One of my websites on my VPS is www[dot]vfruit[dot]com

I have been with primaryvps since May and in last two months I was very busy... and then came back from vacation, it was working fine for a few days... indeed, I could access my server as late as last night. But then my server is down today, with empty page at primaryvps.com and there's nothing else.
So I got nervous and came here to check... and I realized that a lot of people had troubles with them, perhaps more than I did, but then are they really going out of business? As a customer I received no warning of any kind, though.
Any certain info on their current status would be appreciated. I wrote them (support and victor's email) but didn't get responses... In the past they replied very fast, so there's something strange going on for sure...

I know some of these warnings like /usr/bin/GET - groups -ldd - whatis - ifdown – ifup are normal false positives.
But other warnings are new,
I think they changed after upgrading the cpanel to 11.23
I have cpanel on centos 4.6

After few days of not getting even "one" spam out of average 70 messages a day...the company manager got angry! He thought the mail system is down.
Our provider - a VDS subscriber who rent us shared plan for a website - said: we changed nothing. I confirmed: did you install any new anti-spam software on the site...they said: NO.
In a next conversation with the company manager, they told him they installed a new anti-spam software on the whole server and cannot make it off for our site specifically.
The problem is, they already had a kind of anti-spam software which only "marks" spam-like messages with "**SPAM**" in the subject line, and doesn't mark others. I am afraid some customers' emails get marked and deleted with this new software they claim implemented, based on false positives.
Many times I get my emails in Yahoo and Hotmail go to Spam/Junk folder for some not-widely known reasons, like sending to myself, while putting recipients in CC, and other strange reasons like just using CC in an auto-reply!
something any non-tech person might do.
I am thinking in switching to a new host where we only host mails (mx record), so we don't have "any" email deleted without our check.

I don't really know much about how mod_security rules work, I've just clicked on default configuration in WHM.
Anyway one user on our vbulletin board has pmed me saying he can't access the board. He gave me his fixed ip. And I noticed it is in CSF denied ip list as:
lfd: 5 (mod_security) login failures from xx.xx....
I've checked mod_security log and it has like twenty entries for this ip saying: ....

Is there any way to avoid getting false name lookups when trying to resolv inexistent domains ? apart from using another nameserver.
I'm sorry if it was posted earlier, tried searching but it didn't help as it gave me large results.

I tried a little searching both in Google and on here but this is probably going to be a private or member-based thing anyway.
I've gotten a couple comments that some of my outbound personal mail is ending up in spam folders. I think it's almost completely limited to having Outlook (or Express?) as a client... which I assume doesn't even do network-based lookups. Nonetheless I don't seem to be on any blacklists, and running it through my own spamassassin filter comes up basically zero score. But the fact that more than one person has had the problem concerns me greatly. Also, I haven't seen any significant reason why the content itself would trigger anything.
I realize a public spam test service would basically be a "testing ground" for spammers to evade detection, but there's obviously legitimate uses as well... is there such a tool somewhere? Thanks for any advice. Public information sharing is key to a forum, but PMs are welcome in this case.

Being using the free version of siteuptime.com but this month alone i have had so far 3 false alerts reported, i am always in the putty and does not get interrupted, and i am sure i am around on the site too while supposedly siteuptime reports down (i am guessing firewall blocks their server ip for w/e reason). So am wondering is there any really good public tracking site out there which can do public reports more accurately and not kak out on me?
Whats your experience with siteuptime for monitoring if any ? Sometimes it works "ok" other times its just off the charts.

Every time I log on plesk 11.09 I get an email from admin saying that due to maximum number of failed login attempts for admin, the account was blocked for 30 minutes.
First, I do not get failed login attempts, I log in every time.
Two, the account is not blocked, I can log in, out and back in as many times as I want without problem except that I get this email everytime.
