PC-Core.net Out Of Dedicated Business Now
Dec 18, 2008i was going through pc-core.net website and when i click on dedicated i got that message that they are not accepting new orders for dedicated now and directing to go to burst directly if need server. Now i got a mail that our billing/support has been handed over to burst and pc-core.net is out.

PC-Core Dedicated Hosting Issue
Aug 19, 2008I signed up with their managed dedicated dual core xeon hosting package few months back and had a lot of issue with downtime. Every now and then I found my server being down giving me Bad Gaeway error. When I saw the error from my end, I contacted few people from all over the world and everyone saw the same error as well. After submitting a ticket regarding the issue, Cody replied back saying he didnt' see any isue from his side. Well, thats a small part of the problem.
Earlier this month I noticed my server is down. As it happens every now and then, I decided to wait till next day and see what happends. It didnt come back up so I opened a ticket # KJD-564201 on Aug 05. Until today my issue is not resolved. Every now and then I kept getting email telling me that they are closing my ticket as they have not heard from me in 36 hours. Well, I'm waiting to hear back from PC-Core regarding the issue here. Why would they close a ticket without solving the problem?
First few days was beating around the bush. Then I was told that Jordan was waiting to hear back from data center, that went on for few days. Then Cody said Jordan no longer works there and he would look into the issue. Nothing happened for next few days even tho in the email it said i would hear something back in next 25 minutes, I have not heard anything back for days.
I then replied again and today after 14 days of my server being down, Cody is telling me that they will need to reinstall and I have to pay for that along with $65 per hour for data recoverry. HE ALSO TOLD ME HE NEVER HEARD BACK FROM NOC! They are offering managed dedicated service and they didnt manage to get an answer from NOC in 2 weeks?
What bothers me is that, I dont know why my server will go down and need reinstall. I run a free hosting server with Layered Pannel script. LP support cannot do anythig if they cannot access the server. I dont know much about dedicated hosting but something is really funny here. No response from NOC in 2 weeks, lack of communication, and what bothers me most is that I just found out in my client area of my hosting account that my service is terminated even tho I'm paying for hosting with paypal subscription every month on time.
Why the status would say terminated and I dont know anything about it? Do I need to go with the solution Cody proposes (reinstall and data recovery charged at per hour rate)? As I said I'm not much familiar with dedicated hosting, I need some help here to make the right decision. Thanks

Nov 14, 2008I moved to pc-core a few days ago its around 15 days. I was aware that they reply to emergency tickets in around 1 to 4 hours even server is down or anything worst. But I thought that I only need them for reboots as PSM is managing my server. PSM told me that they can directly reboot burst server so my this fear was too out.
Yesterday on 14th Nov at 8 PM IST I found that my server got down. I pinged the server and it looks like that there is network issue rather then dedicated problem. PSM made a reboot request but server was not back online.
Now at this situation pc-core was the only help. I made a support ticket that my server is down. After 2 hours of no response to this critical ticket I bumped the ticket for self satisfaction that atlest I am doing something. Anyways after another 1 hour I updated the ticket asking them that it looks like a network problem. I got a response from pc-core around about 3 and a half hour that my server will be rebooted in 15 to 20 min. No problem I thought they must have investigated what server needs. Well after another 1 hour my server was not back. I updated the ticket and beg for investigation as this was the longest downtime since I get into the business even in the worst situations. Now after a long pause I got a response that I had a DMCA complaint for a image and I did not respond to that and now first I need to pay $50 (Around 50% of server monthly cost) for plugging back the server. The first thing is that they never sent me that DMCA I respond to any DMCA within 2 hours with a record. Well this is another thing firstly I need to get my server back online. I asked them get anything from me but put my server back online right now. Now after another long pause I got a reply to pay a invoice for $50. I immediately paid that and updated support ticket. Now as always after a pause I got response that they are unable to see my payment I give them paid invoice receipt from client area and transaction id. I got another response that they donât want client side confirmation I need to forward them Paypal receipt. I did that and wasted another 1 hour in making them prove that I have paid that invoice.
It was 3:15 AM in India and I thought things will be okey in few moments now as I have done whatever they are asking. Now at 7 AM I found that no response to my ticket thatâs 11 hours downtime now. Now at 9:30 AM I found that their support system got down and bouncing back the mails and giving error âLicense Error: Key file has expired
â.
Since then I made several tries to contact them, used live chat, direct mails but all are bouncing. I made a post to their forums and waited 4 hours no response.
Finally after 17 hours I have no choice to sit back and cry for choosing pc-core.net for my dedicated need.
Few points in brief:
1)DMCA was not forwarded to me.
2)Instead of nulling the IP they unplug entire server. Unplugging is the option when server is spamming not for DMCA.
3)I was forced to pay $50 before my server should be online. They should inform me that I need to pay this amount and put my server back and later add this invoice to my client area.
4)They reply to critical support requests in 4 hours or more sometimes. How can someone wait for a reboot for 4 hours ?
5)They donât care if clientâs server is down for 1 hour or 24 hours.
For saving $30 I paid $50 for no fault of me and downtime that is killing me and didn't let me sleep. I confess my decision was wrong in choosing pc-core.net for saving and surviving in this economy meltdown . I suggest you to think before going for pc-core.net.
Server is still down and its 2 PM in India.
PC-Core Dedicated Hosting Demanding Ransom
Aug 27, 2008I have been with pc-core.net [url] since April, all was good just few down times here and there once or twice a month didn't really bother me and I wasn't loosing any customers.
Note: I signed up from WHT, on a promotional offer, in case someone is wondering.
However I had a DMCA issue with few of my client about hosting torrent and such which twice the host shut off my server without sending me any DMCA notice and when I sent them email it was always an excuse DMCA and then when I asked why I haven't been notified they blame on the Datacenter who didn't send them so they couldn't send me, I can understand that so the first time I spoke to a guy named Cody Salter on MSN and got it fixed and he told me next time I would be notified and such, so the 2nd time happened again for the same same content which I removed earlier, again server went offline this time for almost 1.4 days, so I spoke to Cody again, same promise and I thought I let him slide without any kind of confrontation.
So this happened again 2 days ago this time over a different file the "datacenter" as they claimed shut me down and is asking for a $50 ransom or they wont let me access my content, of course I have few clients remaining and all their contents are now under the ransom either I pay PC-Core $50 or they keep my server offline for a fault that was on them and their host not me.
So I need some advice from some people what should I do? I tried sending them emails and now its on the $50 Ransom, its I pay this ransom to get my customers their stuff out of a dead server or I abandon my customers. I haven't spoken to Cody Salter as I haven't seen him online today the whole day. The ransom plan mainly came from the support email from a guy named Nathan O.

Jun 12, 2008We are hosting our software system which do calculation and file manipulation.
Now we have Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 and would like to get Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 to increase our system performance.
Also we have other choice, get Intel Xeon E5405 Harpertown 2.0GHz
to replace two above.
I think it is better to have one server box because one box easy to manage than two. Also Harpertown is much faster than these two together.

Basically the cost is identical for a Dell server with:
1 AMD Operton Dual Core 2.4Ghz

2 AMD Operton Dual Core 2.0Ghz
What is the felling? Does the 4 cores out weight the extra 400 mhz per processor, but only having 2 cores?
The server will be running:
Windows 2003 Standard x32
Plesk 8.2
IIS 6.0 [ Application Pools Setup ]
MySQL
Microsft SQL Express 2005 [ONLY CAN USE 1 CPU/CORE]

Can my applications even handle/utilize four cores?

Jul 5, 2008Just wanted to post a quick note for those looking to get a server from pc-core.net.
In pre sales talks they told me that they could have a server available to me within 48 hours of receiving payment.
On their website at [url] it says "Your server will be provisioned, secured, and delivered within 72 hours of purchase."
This was important to me as I at that time only had 1 week left on my contract with my current provider.
2 days after I paid for the server, and 3 days before deadline, I contacted the support and asked for the server as I needed to migrate.
They said they'd set it up "ASAP" and that they would do the migration for me as I wouldn't be available the following days.
Today is deadline and my current provider is billing me for another month. And I still, 5 days after payment, have no server available from pc-core.net.
I don't know if this was just a glitch in their services or if it's the way they normally conduct their business.
I asked about the server yesterday and they have had all of friday to produce a response. It has now been 18 hours and not a word.
I have asked for my money back as they offer a Money Back Guarantee on their website.
I don't know if that is a promise they take as lightly as the promise to deliver but will keep you posted.

Jun 13, 2008how a webhosting compay name PC-core.net troubled me.
If you have forgotten the case; here is brief overview what happened,
I tired ordering new dedicated box (was an offer) but on payment page they had problem. So few days later i told there was problem with payment page and couldn't pay. So they said now its fixed pay now then will setup a DEDICATED boy with PHP/Apache/MySQL configured with required libraries as i had told them. So I even ordered Cpanel/WHM along. Thought was a good deal.
I got an email saying will be setup in FEW HOURS.
Waiting more than 5-6 hours; when enquired about it didn't get any reply. So in haste FILED CHARGEBACK in paypal. As soon as i filed they started responding saying the server was on its way... HAD they told that before clearly I wouldn't have to take such step.
So, I closed the dispute.
When I got my box, It was missing many stuff.
FIRST EXTRA backup HDD that i ordered.
SECOND php was not configured to work along with MySQL and other libs were missing.
When asked about the issue; for HDD was told will be added in few hours later.
So If i had not checked properly, they would have simply charged for that and would have never installed it.
Now when asked about second case; they told its not their work to install all PHP/MySQL stuff...
Why did they promise in the first place about the thing they were never going to deliver?
Ok, I tried my hands with WHM/Cpanel to get MySQL and Php working but I failed.
So i thouhgt of cancelling the whole server itself. After getting rude replies regarding any support.
So I had made payment on 31st may 2008 for server. I cancelled server on 10th June 2008 (both from their client area and sending email to their support also).
I lost $120 bucks. Did get a lesson there are companies who promises BUT DONT DELIVER.
Now today suddenly I get an email from their support THAT I AM OBLIGED to pay another MONTH BILL too....
HERE IS EXACT EMAIL
=========================================
Thank you for choosing PC Core for your hosting needs. This email is a reminder that you currently have a balance with PC Core, due to an invoice that is been created. You are currently responsible for paying Invoice #5222 which was generated on 11/06/2008. This invoice is currently due on 25/06/2008.
According to our records, you currently pay with PayPal. Please submit this payment using the information below to avoid possible service interruption.
Invoice: 5222
Invoice Ammount: $119.90 USD
Invoice Due Date: 25/06/2008
================================
Now why am I still obliged to pay. WHEN I HAD paid on 31st may 2008 for SERVER till June 30th, 2008?
Are these guys trying to irritate me first by GIVING NO REFUND to me and sending such email EVEN AFTER I HAVE CANCELLED WITH THEM?
Beware Pc-core.net
Dec 22, 2008I have had the hardest time contacting pc-core.net and I just wanted to share my experiences with everyone. I ordered a dual-xeon 2.8ghz from pc-core.net last month. The first 20 days of service were fantastic, all of my support issues were handled promptly and with okay results. Afterwords things quickly went downhill. My server disconnected me from SSH about every 1 - 2 minutes. Every attempt I made to contact this company failed; numerous support tickets, 3 phone calls, 10 e-mails (All of which are down by the way. I get mail not sent errors for every one.). After a few days of dealing with this frustration I decided to attempt another support ticket (Don't try their live support system as they apparently never use it.). After many login attempts and a few recover password attempts I found that my account was either suspended or deleted. Just great, because I did not realize I was on a paypal subscription and had just been billed for this server. I immediately attempted every possible means to contact this company for a refund, including the phone number listed on their paypal account (This number doesn't even have an answering machine. I assumed it was because they were tired of hearing all of the complaints their dedicated customers were leaving.). Yesterday I received an e-mail stating my server would now be managed by burst.net. I received no warnings or prior e-mails, it was just spontaneous. After logging in to my burst.net account, another attempt for a refund, I found that my invoice had not been paid. I contacted burst.net's customer service and they confirmed my invoice for this month had not been paid. Awesome! After several days of ripping my hair out and being forced to open a Paypal dispute, which I have found can only be used for tangible products, I am still out $79.95.
