WebtHosting Review * Major Review
Sep 27, 2009
What seemed to be a good company quickly turned to nightmares. I purchased a couple domains. All went well. Then paypal emailed me saying they are high risk and wanted me to confirm I made the payment and service was given. So until I did the payment was held. They blame the held on me and threatened me to release it or they will cancel my account.
So they finally gave them the money and all was well. Well I did a stupid thing and decided to get a VPS from them, they have good deals so I thought, whats the worse that can happen. Well shortly after, I get a email saying because your payments are unreliable, we are waiting a week to setup your vps which is complete udder crap.
So I just said screw it and said give me a refund then and about 2 hours ago I try logging into my client center and my account is gone.
I am hoping one of them see this so we can get this worked out. In the mean time I opened disputes on all of the payments.
I will keep you all updated.

OK this is short because it's just so ridiculous there is no point going on about it.
- Order my VPS plan from them.
- Wait about an hour then send ticket asking them " Hi I'm quite new to hosting so please remind me of the information I have to provide you in order to migrate my site".
- 9 hours later I get this - "Do you use Cpanel?"
- I thought well they could have at least told me the procedure if I did have cpanel and if I didn't to save some time, makes sense right?
- Anyway I write back saying "yes"
- They write back 10 HOURS LATER saying " OK" ?WTH!
- I then write "forget it I want a refund"
- I get this - "you have been PARTIALLY REFUNDED - lol - The VPS Plan was $25 and they took $15.
- Absolutely ridiculous, so bad I dont know whether to laugh or cry!

MonkeyWrench Hosting review - Three year review
I've been hosting my personal sites with MonkeyWrench Hosting for around three years now (coming up in January I believe), and I figured I'd share my experiences with them!
I've gone through a few hosts in my time, and some of them have been pretty rough. After using paid hosts, a niche free host started up that I stayed with for around a year before they eventually closed down.
I switched to MonkeyWrench Hosting at that point as a place to host my sites and store my files, and I have to say that I've been impressed throughout the time I've been with them.
Uptime/speed:
Fantastic! The sites have been perfectly reliable and speedy whenever I've gone to access them, and I haven't had any complaints from users. I did come across MySQL going down on one of the servers (I have two accounts for different purposes that are on seperate servers) in the past, but it was resolved quickly before I even needed to get help.
Support:
I've used the support a few times, but not for anything critical since there's not been the need. However, everything that I have asked was answered promptly in a professional manner.
Pricing:
Again, no complaints here. The pricing is pretty cheap, especially for the quality of service receieved. They aren't the cheapest on the Internet by any means, but you generally get what you pay for. I'm aware of what my realistic space/bandwidth needs are anyway, and I'd rather pick a host that clearly advertises what you'll receive over an 'unlimited' host.
All in all, MWH have been a fantastic choice and I couldn't have hoped for anything better.
So, thumbs up to Jonathan, and keep up the good work!
I'll report my domains for the moderators to check them out. =)

I've been very happy with Virpus since I joined. There was 1 issue that has plagued me since the beginning and that was that I was not receiving e-mails on my ISP e-mail, my main e-mail. Not to big of an issue except that I didn't get any news updates or know when my tickets were replied to, or even when I was past due on my bill. 3 tickets later and their solution was for me to use another e-mail address, which was kind of a pain for me since each of my e-mail addresses has a specific reason which only specific e-mail get sent there for organizational reasons.
First off I have to say the VPS I was using was top notch. It easily outperformed my LiquidWeb VPSs and quickly became my primary VPS instead of my backup like was intended. I took advantage of one of their specials a while back which was a 512MB RAM cPanel VPS for $19.50/month which is a steal since the cPanel license alone is $15/month!
So now to why this is probably my final review of this company. Communication is lacking greatly. It was good at first, but now it's non-existant.
Over the weekend all my sites went down and I had no idea why... because I never got the e-mail saying they were moving data centers (if it weren't for a small thread on WHT I would never have known). I also did not receive any updates on extending their ETA so yet again I had nothing to tell my clients. The only good thing was that I run a free hosting company (Host2x.com for reference) and I offer no uptime guarantee since it's a non-paid service.
Ok, so the sites are back online and everything is working nicely... well I recently hit the 70% mark on my disk space usage so time to start looking for an upgrade. I created a ticket on April 23rd asking if they would allow me to upgrade my plan to their biggest VPS plan and to my surprise I never got a reply. I would think that a billing ticket asking to upgrade to a plan that costs more without the transfer of the discount I'm receiving would be a welcome ticket for them to reply to, but I was incorrect in thinking this. So I ended up purchasing a dedicated server last night because I cannot wait to see if they will assist me with upgrading my account or not.

I just want to take the time and review Hivelocity. Boy oh boy, where to start. I am just so pleased with the customer support they offer and I don't even own a single product with them.
I currently own a server with another comapny and I am always looking at other options for cheaper prices, better services and etc.
I found Hivelocity through WHT and I took the time to start up a live chat which was answered quickly from Kevin. Kevin was very nice and welcoming. I was asking about discounts they could provide and etc. Kevin showed me their reseller program which seemed to be something I may be interested in. After a 15-20 minute chat with Kevin, he offered to add me on MSN if I ever wanted to chat which I thought was pretty nice.
After I got off live chat with Kevin, I decided to keep researching Hivelocity. I immediately signed up on Twitter (I never had a Twitter Account). I saw they had some awesome deals. They were offering an awesome deal today it looks like this:
"The next person to go to our site, open a live chat and say "I just got your TWEET" gets a Core2Duo 3.0Ghz e8400 for $5 the first month."
By time I even got onto Twitter, I noticed that this was already taken. I kept browsing their Twitter and hey what do you know, another great deal it followed like this:
"The 1st $5 Core2Duo sold in about 20 seconds so lets do it again. The next person to open a live chat saying "Give me a $5 Server" gets it."
I decided I was going to be late as the last one sold in 20 seconds. Well, it turned out it did get sold but, I got into a Live Chat with David from Hivelocity.
David informed me that the server was sold and I was a bit too late. What do you know, more great discounts! He offered me the same server for $5 on the first month. I decided not to take advantage of the offer as I wouldn't be able to put much use to the offer. I will be moving to Hivelocity within the next 1-3 months.
Overall I am very pleased with the great offers they provide and the support is just amazing!
Based on the sales support and the deals they provide, I did a bit of a rating on Hivelocity.
Sales Support:5/5
Deals:5/5
Overall:5/5
Also, if you decide your interested in Hivelocity's awesome offers, I would follow them on Twitter! They are constantly updating their Twitter and offering great deals. Their Twitter deals are 100% and it's pretty awesome a company like Hivelocity offers products and support so great!

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.

Is there anyone having an experience with WebTHosting.com? It looks like I am in trouble.
I have purchased their hosting package but even after 3 days, they didn't created my account on their server. When I opened Paypal Dispute, they suddenly came back with account details and also blaming that it was my fault as I didn't read my emails. This is something shocked me.
I sent them screen shot of my gmail account that I received all of their emails EXCEPT this one. However rather than accepting it, they again started blaming me and Gmail Services that they missed it. They manipulated their email section on their website to show an older date email. I myself is the witness that it was not their at least until 2nd August.
Should I continue with this provider? My confidence is shacked. I don't want to continue and asked them to avail 30 Days money back guarantee but now they came up with a hidden cost of $50 for administration fee. What the hell is this? If they are going to deduct $50 from my paid $59 then what sort of this money back guarantee?

Just wanted to give a short review of WebTHosting, an offshore hosting company.I am with them more than 6 months.
SO far the greatest hosting service I ever had. WebT Hosting is fairly affordable, with fast and reliable networks, and great support. Their uptime and server load is quite satisfactory.
One most important and the best thing is their live support and sales service. also the response of their support ticket is really fast.

I have been with virpus for the past 7 months
I have posted an review earlier as well for 2 month : 2 month review
Let me summarize my experience so far,
Technical Support - 10/10 Really fab. even though I was on semi-managed plan, they never made me feel I was on a semi it always felt as if I was under complete management, they did every task I had asked them to do, which I didn't get on any other semi-managed host earlier.
I have no sort of complaints about their technical team, they tried to solve some problems which were due to the billing dept.
The minimum response for a ticket generally around 10-15mins and the completion with in an hr.
Billing Dept - This is some dept. that has kept me in wonder-land. Some times the replies were so pleasing and most other times the tickets are ignored. From, almost 2nd r 3rd month, the billing dept. tickets don't get regularly replied and used to bump the tickets in order to get a response to the query. Which I got some how, in a apologizing manner (no complaints for that :p)
Now, for the past 1 month we have been having some serious problems.
First, I had recd. some black-listed ip's when we joined virpus, we failed to check them (mistake on our end agreed 100%), which probably even they might not have been aware of.. As, we had a minor mis-understanding with godaddy during domain registration, my friend registered the domain using one of our partner address who resides in Singapore, where as the registration was done from India. Godaddy, assumed this was a spam registration and refunded the amount. So, we had to register the domain through another partner who resided in India. Godaddy was cool after we gave them the complete details, where they wanted some ID proof, and we provided them.
Our ip was on the black-list, we thought since our domain was spam-listed for a day, (until godaddy took it off) it made the hosts to assume the domain was black-listed, so we had manually submitted forms and proofs to most of the anti-spam agencies and mail providers, where they took the ban off the ip with in 15-20 days after we joined virpus.
Our domain was no longer under black-list, but ip was still under black-listed in some sites, such as rediff, it took more than 2 months to set the things straight at rediff, where we did some config added from the tech.dept. such as setting up spf record, and did a few tweaks here and there.
Even after making all these efforts, our ip was still under black-list of some ISP's. Our main domain (the domain which was under bl list earlier) loads well for every user, but our child domains where we have blogs and other activities do not load for lots of users. The ping results in the internet gives 100% but on their particular systems it gives no ping. Some times, the site loads wierdly such as,[url] might load but [url]might not load, and vice-versa, some times local ping fails but site loads, its all wierd and we found the reason to the problem to be ip after some minor confirmation from our end. We were losing our revenue of more than 60% just because of the failure of loading on the site, the tech. dept used to ask the ips which are facing prob to check if they are blocked, but its not possible to give ips of users who visit as guests and others, we have noted reports on other sites that our site wasn't loading for them. We still were able to give few ips for check and found them not-blocked on the ip. The sites are able to be viewed for all from proxy sites such as stage6.info but we can't ask each viewer to go to proxy site to view if they are unable to load, it will become ridiculous and we might lose our entire traffic some day.
We had shifted our domains temporarily to other vps where we noted none of the users had a single complaint, we were there for more than a week, which ensured the problem was not the domains but the ips, again after returning to the virpus hosts, we had created 3 tickets to sales/billing dept. to issue fresh ip's, got 0 reply and mailed to mr.Ken using : kenneth.odem@virpusnetworks.net got no reply after 48hrs.
We have to agreee, Earlier,mr.Ken was so helpful he helped us when we didn't have any funds to issue, since we had an dispute with an item where our payment was delayed by paypal. So, we had paid them almost 10 days later than the due date where mr.Ken was so helpful and saw to it our VPS could stay online despite the payments not been released.
In thanks, we had directly mailed our check we got from an ad-agency, which again made around 5-10 days in the payment, which made our balance stand in the positive note, we have our balance in the account for the past 3 months so that there are no dues left.
But, in the past 1 -2 months the replies have been disappointing.
We planned to leave virpus and join other host, where we burnt our hands, we looked for other reputed VPS and had a few in mind after our staff suggested few good organizations(don't prefer to name them here as it would be mis-leading).
Since, virpus wasn't ready to refund the amount in the credits we decided to continue with virpus atleast as a sideby host. Later, some how our members suggested we used virpus as a main host, so we wanted fresh ip's to get rid of the damn problem we are having but we have recd. no response for the past 1 week.
Now, lately after the maintenance our VPS was down for approx. 26-27hrs on april 25th Saturday, where our traffic is usually on the weekends. We lost the compelete traffic and revenue. When we asked if it come under credits, we got response as : This was the result of scheduled maintenance we cannot, it would not qualify under our SLA. (just giving the main result statment off the entire reply recd. from sales). Its some thing we would like to regret but for sure this isn't some issue, which could make us think to get to a new host.
The reply from the sales dept. has made our staff making funny betting, as one would win if we get a reply and other would if its not replied with in 48hrs, lately the first one is winning () due to lack of communication.
This might be our last month. Our next due date major amount would be taken from the credits, so a very little amount would exist in the account. We will stay with them until our amount with them is spent.
We had enjoyed really good with the tech. dept but the sales dept has been really poor in the recent past. I am forced to say this as even after mailing we haven't got response where, mr.Ken stated if our tickets were lost or some thing, mail to him but either didn't work so far.
Once, earlier when we requested for change of ips we were said some $7 or some thing would be charged for the swap, when we made other enquiries about it we didn't get a response till date
My tickets which lay un-responded:
203497
509467
385781
509467 and 385781 are double-post of the ticket, but got reply for none of the above tickets. Was expecting a reply for 1 atleast.
I was ready to pay excess charge for the new ips as there some mistake from my end in failure to check the ips before getting them but I wanted some concession as the major mistake was from their end while dispatching ips. I am not refusing to pay but I wanted the concession, got no reply and the above tickets are a proof of them.
Our staff online time and their live chat time don't tally, so we can't make any contact to them on live as well.
I am not sure if this is mis-understanding or what, but it has been a mixed experience for me. For sure, their sales crew have to be increased that's some suggestion I would strongly do.
I can recommend this host to any one for the tech. support they provide but can't guarantee them for the sales dept. replies based on my past/recent experiences.
Totally my site down for around ~30hrs including all the maintanence and other reasons, it could be a bit less but I am rounding it off, for sure its more than 28hrs
My over all rating: 7.5/10
Tech. Dept - 10/10
Sales/Billing Dept - 5/10
my site submitted for review via report feature
I tried to give all my experience on virpus and I am not against any one for joining virpus nor have any fights with virpus team.
May be if we get response from sales we might still consider continuing with virpus but that stands low at the moment.

I have been having a very hard time tracking down the source/cause of this surge in email. My server has been sending out thousands of spam emails under the nobody account. So far I have done the following:
Created a spam_log to monitor php/cgi mail scripts
Secured firewall and setup monitoring & automatic ip ban of dictionary attacks in exim
Secured the /tmp folder
Updated server to latest STABLE version of cpanel
Scanned server with rootcheck kit
Here is a sample email that is getting bounced back. I have nearly 60,000 bounced emails in the queue with similar messages.

Paypal started sending me notices that it was unable to connect to my IPN (I'm using modernbill v4) yet I used it without a problem for 3 years.
The sent this message in response to my support inquiry:
I have had the IPN logs checked and show that, on recent transactions, your Web server returned an HTTP 200 OK on some of the transactions. Transactions were pulled from:
Date: Fri, 04 Jan 2008 15:00:09 GMT and Date: Thu, 03 Jan 2008 22:20:48 GMT
The reason that you are receiving the E-mail in question is due to your server not responding with an HTTP 200 OK rsponse. When this happens, the PayPal system attempts to resend the IPN POST for up to four days at which time the E-mail in question is generated to inform the merchant of issues with the IPN script.
This issue is not a PayPal issue, but is rather caused by your server's response to IPN POSTs sent to the IPN Script.
Can someone please help me trace this problem?
This is what my server is using:
Modernbill v4.4 stable
Centos 4.6
CSF Firewall
Cpanel 11
Apache 2.2 / PHP 5.2.5

Can anyone recommend a well-established VPS provider with facilities at a major EU connection point, preferably TheNetherlands? I need a small account for secondary DNS and MX, plus some caching experimentation. Might turn into an unmetered dedicated mega-server at the same location if things go as planned, so if you only have experience with dedi or colo at a certain host, feel free to chime in.
I'm already a colo-host and a cPanel distributor myself, so I don't need management or a control panel, just a minimal-install CentOS 5 VPS. (I'll be installing cPanel DNSonly) Here's the kicker though, like most USians, I only speak English (and some would say badly), so the host has to speak at least enough to get the account set up. (preferably has a site in English). The real deal-breaker is that they MUST have their own merchant account and accept credit cards for recurring billing. I will not use Paypal, Moneybookers, or any other 3rd-party processor that requires a registration or manual payments. That almost always indicates an amateur operation in someone's basement. Looking for something along the lines of ThePlanet, but in Amsterdam. (AmsterNet? PlanetDam? )

I'm having a serious problem with Apache 2.0.54. I'm running Debian Sarge (3.1) and I cannot upgrade Apache (easily) so I am stuck using 2.0.54 (2.2+ are not supported on Sarge). I have been trying everything with config changes and different tweaks but Apache is giving me lots of trouble. Whenever I run "apache2ctl restart" Apache will crash and will not start. But when I run "apache2ctl start" Apache will run and in the log, it simply puts "[warn] pid file /var/run/apache2.pid overwritten -- Unclean shutdown of previous Apache run?". I get nothing else before or after I run those commands. Running "apache2ctl graceful" starts messing with it giving me "apache2 <defunct>" errors and "apache2ctl configtest" gives me nothing except "Syntax OK."
Here is my "apache2.conf" file:
Code:
# Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool.
# Changed extensively for the Debian package by Daniel Stone <daniel@sfarc.net>
# and also by Thom May <thom@debian.org>.
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# NOTE! If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network)
# mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation
# (available at <URL:http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#lockfile>);
# you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
ServerRoot "/etc/apache2"
# The LockFile directive sets the path to the lockfile used when Apache
# is compiled with either USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT or
# USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT. This directive should normally be left at
# its default value. The main reason for changing it is if the logs
# directory is NFS mounted, since the lockfile MUST BE STORED ON A LOCAL
# DISK. The PID of the main server process is automatically appended to
# the filename.
LockFile /var/lock/apache2/accept.lock
# PidFile: The file in which the server should record its process
# identification number when it starts.
PidFile /var/run/apache2.pid
# Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.
Timeout 300

I am on the end of my rope with Apache and feel like just formatting the server and reinstalling Apache. Which reminds me, I did try using apt-get to remove and install Apache again but nothing worked.

Anyone else notice the huge outage at Surpass? My sites went down as I was editing one, and checking the server status returns a very, very long list of downed servers. Since the Surmunity Forums appear to be down as well, I was wondering if anyone here had found out what was up via other means, and whether or not there is any estimate on when it might come back up.

I'm starting to test out VPS panels and found vePortal 2. I purchased it and installed it. Now I'm checking some security, as we all know about the terrible result of HyperVM as everyone blindly used it because it was "pretty" but it was not secure.
Some serious concerns I'd like to share with vePortal 2.
1) It makes no backups of any of the files it modifies during install, or so I haven't seen any, like httpd.conf.... more of a pain than anything. There is no way to auto uninstall it either..
2) vePortal gives full root access to the Apache user, letting apache run any root commands!
They add this to your /etc/sudoers
apache ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:ALL
[root@nd11108 myadmin]# su -s /bin/sh apache -c "whoami"
apache
[root@nd11108 myadmin]# su -s /bin/sh apache -c "sudo whoami"
root
This is a root exploit waiting to happen. I asked them about this and got the response.
Quote:
It would be a security breach if a) apache was allowed SSHD Access, or b) the server was running scripts that havn't been marked secure, We have a very comprehensive team of beta testers including one of the largest providers around, They and their staff have not been able to break the security or integrity of the panel as of yet.
All panels in one way or another have root control over the system, for example they wouldnt be able to have a SSH Console without it, as only specified commands would work, we do have a list of the commands required by vePortal if you wish to limit it, but the console and the Shell Commander functions would stop working.
Regards,
Gavin H.
Chief Information Officer
That's funny I have been using the panel a few minutes and already found they've ignored the biggest security hole possible..
3) In 5 minutes I've found multiple XSS vulnerabilities in the admin area... Like search customers, I was able to generate JavaScript alerts in multiple fields....
4) It stores the MySQL root password in clear text in a .php file... yeah that's real secure. Why does it even operate under the MySQL root user, its using a single database....
5) I forgot to add, it doesn't recognize ANY OpenVZ Vps's you've created manually. It has no idea they exist and you cannot view them at all.
I'm sure I could dig deeper into the source code and find more but it's not worth it. Judging by what I found without actually trying to spend time on security I completely removed the product.
The panel does look nice but it sure gets a mark of insecure for me, I would advise others seriously look into the security of this new panel if you're considering using it.

I was a webhost from a while ago leasing dedicated servers and eventually went to work for the datacenter where I had my colo. For a while now I've working with a neat group of 5-6 other folks programming a new uptime monitor/geo-dispersed server load testing system/software. We were looking for possible partners to keep hosting costs down during the alpha stage of the project but while we were drawing up the papers, we saw just too much opportunity for a conflict of interest to arise and realized we couldn't realistically associate ourselves with any single company to that degree. So after a little work and fundraising, we're finally in a position to either lease some servers or colo.
Since I've been out of the loop for a while, I just want to know who the major/reliable players are when it comes to leasing or colo machines in multiple areas (ideally East, Middle, West, Canada and Europe/Asia? We would prefer to be with one company for ease of billing and have our network of monitoring stations spread out geographically. But we don't want all of our eggs in one basket so if a provider goes belly-up or decides to hike our rates 30-40% with little notice, we won't have too much to worry about.
We're watching what we spend during the alpha stage very closely, but I've been insisting we can strike the right balance between cost and reliability (connectivity).

I host a handful of domains, using a whm/cpanel setup. It came time for me to move to a new server, and here's the process I took:
1. I created accounts for all domains on the new server.
2. Created all relevant mail accounts for each domain on the new server
3. Restored all of the files for each sub account on the new server
4. Updated the DNS for each sub account to point to the new server
I didn't, however, move my main domain to the new server yet. On top of that, I use Google to manage the mail for my main domain.
Now when I try to send email to one of the accounts for any sub domains (that is on the new server), the email bounces back as undeliverable.

I have fairly a large web site that has a forum and a torrent tracker.
Currently MySQL server is handling about 150 queries an avarage per second.
Here is the server spec:
Core2Duo 2.66Ghz
4Gb RAM
320GB SATA 7200RPM (Server provider does not have 1.5K RPM nor 1.0k RPM)
100Mbit Connection (servers on the same switch and the switch does not have 1Gbit port)
MySQL Version: 5.0.51a
I had Master-Master Replication setup with forum running on one and the tracker running on the other.
Although this has been working for about few days, we started seeing lags in the replication process.
After a week, there is a major lag and the changes made on one of the servers takes about 5 hours to appear on the another.
So, this doesn't work.
What would be the other ways of splitting MySQL queries concerning the same database?
While I was researching, I read about MySQL Cluster with database storage engine being NDB.
But, let's say that there is a power failure on both the nodes at the same time, then I would lose the whole database as the database is stored on the memory correct?
I would not like to take that chance either, but if this is faster then replication method then maybe I will concider.
I thought about editing the forum coding to make all queries that concerns the tracker to go in to, say server B (with forum's primary MySQL server being Server A), and make the tracker use server B as MySQL backend, but it seemed like a heavy work so that will be the last choice.

I have just discovered a massive security in the CPANEL 10.9 software. This problem is in the BACKUP FEATURE. If you do remote ftp back onto the same account. It will put the file in the account home directory and it will have this type of stuff accountname:ROOTPASSWORD@serverhostname.com

1U colo, 1 mbps, 1 amp power in major China cities
Must have premium, mulit-homed bandwidth, with great connectivity to the US
Must have local cable TV cross-connect via coax, s-video, etc.
Prefer remote reboot
Some or all of the following:
Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing, Tianjin, Wuhan, Harbin, Shengyang , Guangzhou
OK to have colo and cctv cross-connect in one or more cities - you dont have to do them all.
We do NOT need colo without the cctv availability.
Will need a /30 address space.

It seems that all of the emails sent from clientexec to the major carriers (gmail, yahoo, msn etc.,) are being either blocked completely or marked as spam (msn).
When I send an email from outlook from the same domain client exec is on the email goes through fine.
I have added an SPF Record and my domain is not "blacklisted" for spam anywhere.

I recently switched over to SoftLayer for dedicated hosting and the servers are great. However we've been getting hit on and off with massive (50-80%) packet loss, which has been crippling our performance and causing all sorts of problems
I put in a support ticket and they linked me to the Internet Health Report website and said it was due to one of their bandwidth providers (I think Global CrossinG) and not on their internal network and to be patient as it could take time to resolve
Are any other SoftLayer customers going through this? Is this an unusual occurrence? I feel like if it was really one of their partners that it would be affecting a lot of their customers and it would be a high priority issue right?
I'm kind of stuck on what to do; I just invested a lot of energy into moving content onto these new servers and am concerned about whether to wait it out or whether to start finding a new company. This kind of packet loss is really unacceptable...

I had a problem come up a few days ago where one of my clients got into an argument with the Mavrick Team web hosting and computer services company's owner regarding services. She has reported to me that he went into her email account, and has emailed her clients false information about her services after their heated discussion. She told him that she was going to press charges. He told her that he had harvested all of her clients email addresses and will email them to her competitors if she does not back down. What can she do? I feel awkward as I am in the middle of it now. I was the one who referred her to Mavrick Team (aka as I host them) for web hosting services, and moved her site to their servers. This man has created such a big problem for this women now. Her clients are doubting her services and he is blackmailing her. She does not owe him any monies. She has forwarded two of the emails that her clients forwarded to her, so I know she is not making this thing up. I advised her to move all of her emails to a personal email account, contact all of her clients to let them know that someone has access to their info, and I am helping her move her site. Who can she report them to?

First off they did not setup my server for nearly 2 days. I bitched and was apologized about that. They said I would get 10% off my next month.
I proceed to get everything running and start setting up my domains and then blamo its gone! It was reset they said even though I did not have a remote switch. I asked them why they did that and they insisted it was me. Whatever. So I setup everything again and was getting horrible speeds for my photography site. The hell???? They promised me the world when I signed up with them. I also got to deal with "outsourced tech support" from india that was not helpful.
I finally get things running but its still a slow *** server and they try to tell me I needed to upgrade to a much faster plan and get a better processor and memory. I tell them screw that they are throttling my bandwidth. Like memory and processor are gonna make a difference for 3 websites 1 with forums and 1 for photography then my personal site.

Can you share with me about your experience with WBS as a provider? Including account management, support and of course quality of the network, Also I am interested whether they really have a good South America connectivity.

I have been using 1 and 1 web hosting for almost 3 months now. In that time my site has never been down. I use them to host my website but i use google App for my email server.
In the three months that i have been hosting with them i have only had to put in one ticket due to a mysql database issue. Which then turns out something that i have done.
I would recommend 1 and 1 to my friends and family.
I have two domains hosted with them...
