how common is it in the VPS industry to do custom installs/configurations/updates on request. For example, I don't know how to configure qmail and I will want someone to do this for me. Does this kind of service exist? Is it a standard to be expected or is it fee-based thing?

Has anybody heard of Flash Support and Real AudioVideo Support? MMHosting.com offers this kind of support and I wonder if it's effective?
What do you think of it?
I'm undecided between an upcoming dedicated hosting server and am moving between Softlayer and ThePlanet. My decision partly comes down to support.
I've read many reviews on WHT about both companies, but not necessarily comparing them from people who have experienced both.
So my questions (keep in mind this is my first dedicated. I have used VPS in the past with good support) Which offers MORE support (not better) - I'm curious which company might consider my support questions as "part of the default service package" or "need additional service plan for that" More detailed support - my usual experience with support is support staff assume you already know a high level so it may take going forward and back 5 times via email to get a full answer
Overall support satisfaction - any other comments
I've been with Hivelocity for 2 years. Occasionally we have problems, but it works. Their support staff can do very simple things relatively fast, however if you have some serious problems, e.g. failed disk and need to be replaced and do restoration from backup, it will be hell!
They will NOT do what asked in Reload Request, delayed answer to chat, no answer to tickets for many hours.
So far I'm very disappointed of Hivelocity support.
Do you know any vps that support vpn ?

Do you personaly think that some companys don't answer right on support tickets or don't think the right way, (like dont care) when answering a support ticket in there billing system or support system then with the client comes on a forum such as WHT and posts what happens the provider comes and helps the client much more then he would of or had in the support tickets. I see many people come on wht and bring there problems they have with there provide, Im not saying this is a bad thing to do im just trying to show every else how i see it as that the hosts don;t care about there clients but when something goes public the hosting provider trys more to fix it...
Could it be that he or she dsnt want to lose customers thats the way i think it.
GeekStorage's support is awesome. They usually answer within 10 minutes and so far (only been with them for 2 weeks!) they have solved every issue perfectly.
The quality of their support and their attention to detail is the best I have seen in the past 5 years.
I've got give LW some props.
I was at a crossroads on my server running php 4x and needed to be able to run 5 and allow the sites using 4 to still run it. I read about how to do it but would of totally screwed it up.
LW support came to the rescue, installed both the 4 and 5 and now I can select the php version to run from the accounts cpanel.
Took a while to work through it but it's up and running and I'm a happy camper.
That's why I've had my server with them going on 3 years now.
I want to buy a hosting service with following feature

4 SVN
5 Wordpress, Drupal support ( plan to run multiple wordpress and drupal site in this hosting plan)
6 multiple domain name support in one hosting plan
7 a lot of bandwith
8 great customer support, and low down time
I do some research and have a chat with justhost.com and they seem to support everything i need however, after reading some review seem like they try to force you to update to dedicate server when your bandwidth is up.
We are a web company that currently has a WHM/cPanel server that we manage ourselves. However, we are looking for a service that will be on call for us 24/7 in case something were to go amiss and our technical team was not available to restart services, restart the server or do whatever technical troubleshooting was required to get things back up and running quickly.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm in the process of migrating some stuff to a new VPS. Some things I can do myself, some the provider has offered to help with (Future Host), but there are a number of little issues and tasks that I either don't have the time for, or aren't confident in doing myself.
I'd like to 'hire' a freelancer. Can anyone give me an idea what a going rate for doing some general WHM/cPanel tasks might be?
I moved a web site over to iweb.com about 4 months ago. I've found them to be quite responsive to simply queries and issues - quite a change from the previous host I might say. Last week I ran an FTP download to perform a backup of all the material. After about 12Mb, the transfer was aborted and I could no longer access the site by FTP, or HTTP and I couldnt get email. The site is not down though as others can access it, but I cannot access it from any computers on my network (PC and mac). I chatted with support and they said they'd have to look into it - this was last Wed (1/14). I still cannot get connected. Further diagnosis from my end leads me to believe that IP was blocked due to the FTP transfer (I was able to duplicate this from a different IP). Apparently, the problem has been escalated to the sysadms but they are swamped and can't get to my problem. I figure unblocking the IP should be an easy quick fix. Perhaps understanding why it happened and how to rectify that will take longer.
My question to the group is, is this level of service normal for iweb.com, and are my expectations of a quick fix unreasonable?

View 14 Replies View RelatedStay away from Hostsimplex.com. I signed up for the $10 a year special and without checking into the company and I went ahead and registered on August 16, 2008. A couple weeks went by and I wanted to change some information and domain on my website and they wouldn’t let me delete that account and reopen. The reason was is I wanted to reset the stats and other information so they wouldn’t show up on my domain.
Anyway, the support is horrible. All they want to do is make excuses. The website clearly says that if you are unhappy with our service within 30 days you can get a refund. No questions asked. I have been in email for almost a week regarding this issue.
I sent a Billing ticket on September 3, 2008 and to this day… No reply. I called the 866 number… No reply… I try to use the support chat on the website… No Reply! Used the Support Ticket and they won’t help. I used the member forum… It ended up in war with other users. I finally go a hold of someone yesterday and they couldn’t help me because he was a support team member and I needed to talk to billing.
I asked for the Owner and this person told me he was off until Tuesday. I know it is just $10 but I feel like they are falsely advertising the 30 day money back guarantee.
In each of these tickets that I sent I asked to have my account deleted and canceled.
They still haven’t honored my request for that. I also demanded a refund of my $10 and still haven’t responded.
I tried to catch the website and now it is down. It has been in this state since 0200 EST.
Stay away from HostSimplex.com…

Iv herd a few good things about VT6 on here so I thought id give them a try but so far I'm not very impressed! Their support takes days to respond and when they do eventually respond its not with any sort of meaningful answer half the time. I'm on their extreme account. Iv had better support from shared hosting costing less than half as much!
I have a couple of questions about how cpanel is meant to work. I have one main domain on my account and 4 add on domains added on with their own folders. Now are these add on domains supposed to be controlled by the main cpanel account page? because I was having trouble deleting files with the file manager. It was saying that I had deleted the files but when i accessed the account via ftp they were all still their and had not been deleted. And what was showing in ftp was what you could access with the web browser. I then discovered that I could log in to each sub domain in cpanel as if it was on it own separate account. So i have a completely different cpanal control page for each addon domain surly this cannot be correct? I was able to delete the files I was trying to delete by logging into that particular domain names own cpanal like so
[url]
I can do this with each of my addon domains is this correct?
Also is their anyway to edit the php.ini file in cpanel? I simply need to make the session save path writable.
