Botnet Hosted At Wholesale Internet
Jul 23, 2007
Been having an annoyance lately, This kid has been ddosing a site on my server for 3 days. It has absolutely no effect on the server besides filling up iptables rules and annoying the crap out of me with ip ban emails. So not really a problem as far as knocking my server offline but the guy has been trying for 3 days and its annoying as heck.
So I got someone to track the net down for me its located on
208.110.**
port 5050 and port 5520.
I will post the full details if it is ok with mods
So I emailed their abuse the other day, no response, tried calling, nothing but answering machines. Nothing has been done.
This guy must really have some connections inside datacenters because I was seeing where he had botnets on fdc, they got reported and fdc sent him the abuse reports so he could attack them some more!
[url]
Yes this really happened and fdc even protected the guys identity by editing his name and info out of the complaint post
Anyway, I get to talking to some other webmasters, he has had his botnet on wholesaleinternet a few months now. It has been reported repeatedly with no action taken, no one can even get ahold of anyone at the datacenter. So either they just ignore the same abuse report for months or they know exactly what he is doing and dont care. Either way they wont shut him down for nothing,
Ive sent reports to the registrar today, lets hope they are the ones to take action. And hopefully someone who works at wholesaleinternet will see this thread and finally be shamed into doing something. or if anyone knows anyone who works there please pass this on.

Wholesale Internet HAS THE WORST BILLING SYSTEM / CUSTOMER SUPPORT SYSTEM EVER
It has been 3 months and I have yet received my refund. If your server is up then its fine but I have contacted Aaron (great guy) 30+ times but he's always busy
Here's the issue. In ubersmith we have paypal + a spare credit card running. I setup a paypal subscription so I was to be billed automatically.
Ubersmith however was not tracking the subscription payments and instead billed our credit card.
This left me with double the charges for 3 months on my credit card and paypal ...
I have asked for a refund since September and have heard NOTHING.
I have vouched for Wholesale internet plenty but if this does not get taken care of Aaron I will be chargebacking every single charge for the last year ... maybe that'll get your attention
The billing department = Rebecca - a woman who neither answers the phone nor emails

We aquired a dedicated with wholesaleinternet a few months back. Other than slightly annoying but very short periods of downtime several times a week there were no major problems. Then the server became unreachable.
After many hours I finally get a tech response to my priority TT stating a fsck had to be performed. My initial worry was that the HD was failing as huge sectors should not be corrupt - certainly no software was running to cause this.
Over the next 2 weeks the server went down every 24-48 hours with exactly the same problem and the same resolution. Each time it took over 4 hours for a priority TT to be responded to and for the problem to be fixed. 8 hour waits were far from uncommon.
After pointing out the HD worries several times (what else could it be at this stage?) 2 weeks later the girl 'looking after the problem' finally agrees with us and agrees to replace the HD. I drag off any data I need (ie since the last backup) in a brief period of uptime and give her the go ahead. The server goes down again and over 48 hours later they tell me a new HD has been installed.
BEFORE the server went down for the final time we made it very clear that we simply cannot wait any longer and had no choice but to cancel our account. This was ignored and the HD changed anyway. We also made it clear that the huge problems caused should mean that there was no way we should require a month's notice to leave them. The downtime, huge delays in responding to priority tickets and inability of tech staff to recognise a simple HD failure means we need to go elsewhere. The downtime has cost us a LOT of money and several very good google results still have not recovered so the cost to us continues in a big way.
Despite the 2 weeks of more or less continual downtime causing us to have no choice but to switch hosts they now have the audacity to send debt collectors after us for not giving 1 months notice. On cancelling the account my reasons were made very, very clear and that given the situation I would not expect to need a months notice and certainly not to be charged.
So my advice...look elsewhere. There are some very professional companies about with competent tech staff and who give a damn about even their lower end customers.

I've been with wholesale internet services for a few months now and I must say working with Aaron (when available) has been a pleasure. However, working with anybody else on the team...Billing Departement I'm looking at you has been a COMPLETE Nightmare.
I orderded an extra IP Subnet range only to take it days (more than three) and a few tickets later to order. Their Billing/Sales department takes days to answer.
I then cancelled my services and was confirmed cancellation only to find out today that I've been billed and my credit card has been charged.
Not impressed with this incompetent operation. Aaron you do a great job but your team is nothing like you! I have yet to receive an e-mail back from sales about refunding me the money for the current billing statements.
I'm creating yet another ticket now in hopes that somebody there responds.
The server was fine as was the network, never had any issues, but the lack of support for billing was not.

I decided to let everyone know about WholesaleInternet (wholesaleinternet.net) company and how people from this company treat clients.
2 days ago my server was taken offline. After contacting support team, I was told someone was hosting phishing page. However, they didn't send me any email. I asked them to send abuse report for me.
As soon as I got it, I told that I will remove bad site from server as soon as they will activate server. Since then they just ignore all my tickets. Server is down for 2 days, I have opened support ticket and all my requests are ignored. Phone support is total 'scam', because I always here same message 'We can not answer your call' for 2 days.
I understand this company is being managed by single person only, but I didn't believe it's so awful.
My server is still down, and I have no idea what to do next. They even don't allow me to remove bad site or move all sites from server to another provider.
And yes, I also PMed Aaron via this forum, but he just replied 'Abuse has the impression that you are intentionally using the server for illegal activities. I looked at the ticket and I can see why they think that especially when you tell them you will move the phishing site to another server.' Then he started ignoring all my messages too.
What abuse team!? Company of single person has abuse team? Sure... I can't believe that moving site to other server (after removing phishing content from it) is treated as illegal activity by Wholesale Internet.
Well, I lost hundreds of dollars already, and it looks I need to start everything from 0 (because company just ignores me), so the only thing I can do - tell everyone RUN AWAY from this awful provider as soon as you can. Because if someone will hack one of your customer accounts and upload phishing page, they will destroy your hosting without any questions asked.
I will post more detailed review about this company later, including screenshots from my support desk, etc. So if you think getting a server with them, think again!

I purchased server from wholesaleinternet 2 months ago.It was a very huge server and it is running fine so far (Only 5 minutes network downtime so far in 2 months..)
Wholesaleinternet Network is great.
Network 10/10
Support 8/10 (A little bit slow but it's still far better then many other companies plus servers are unmanaged)
Service 10/10
Price 10/10
Aaron and his team provides great service!
I'd highly recommend Wholesaleinternet if you want to buy dedicated server.

Well Using Apache It Can Be DDosed Off Very Easy If Not Setup Correct
Now Thing You Wanna Do Is
Set 25 Connections Per Ip
In Firewall
So That Only Allows Ip 25 Connections
Botnet DDos Attacks Always Use High Connections Like 50 - 100
And With It Set @ 25 It'll Ban IP Faster
Normal User Should Only Have 12 Connections To Server
APache Settings I Would Say How To But I Dont Have Apache Right Now
I Use Lite Speed

Our Security Technician found yesterday a 200 user botnet on a hidden IRC server and was able to quickly email the compromised systems information (just hostname) to our abuse email. So today i spent the last 2 hours sending emails off to web hosting companies, educational institutions and corporate companies telling them that their systems have been compromised, we regulary email out systems we have found compromised. The thing that stuns me is that most of the systems we found compromised on IRC are dedicated lines between 10MBPS to 1GBPS... I found a few hosting companies and will list them so they can be found by them:
lvps212-241-192-85.vps.webfusion.co.uk
wp056.webpack.hosteurope.de
wp097.webpack.hosteurope.de

We're doing some research trying to determine what people would consider to be average, good, great and excellent colo pricing for full rack, cage square footage price and power per amp pricing. We're not looking for comparisons of other offers but rather what people's real pricing opinions are for this type of service. Service would be in a major market and well connected facility with all major carriers available.
Bandwidth pricing per Mbps can be included but doesn't need to be if this would be carrier neutral colo.
So we're looking for:
Rack:
Average
Good
Great
Excellent
Cage Square Footage:
Average
Good
Great
Excellent
Power per Amp:
Average
Good
Great Excellent

Staminus Communications has been hosting a botnet forum, which distributes bots, worms, trojans, illegal clickers, and tons more, 95% of the site is illegal, and is forbidden by Staminus's provider yet they could care less as long as they get there money, I sent an abuse letter August 17th 2009, they even admitted things were illegal on the site, I pointed out several like the Google Adsense clicker bot which is highly illegal and which is nothing close to the other content hosted and/or linked to.
They are hosting unkn0wn.ws they refuse to remove the site or make them remove the illegal content which is most of the forum, which now forces me to send a letter to there provider and the cybercrime which I am now doing.
Now I guess they do not care about what they host, only if the person pays, so I guess I'm just going to expose it here for everyone to notice, because it's just going to get there data center raided over time by hosting illegal content and not removing it.
Let's see what you guys think, or what the admins have to say when they read this post.
What do you guys think when a provider does nothing about illegal content do you think it's the employee's that are at fault or the customer?

Can anyone recommend hosted DNS services that they've used? Just looking for something to use with about three dozen low-traffic domains.
EasyDNS wants something like $300-$600 which is a completely different level of service than I'm looking for. I just want something modest for personal use.

I am moving my shared hosting website to a vps at new provider.
Is it usual to place email server running on the same VPS as my website? Should I worry about email bombs taking out my www or a www DoS attack shutting down my email?
I ask because my new provider doesn't offer email on other own dedicated server. I have to run it on my VPS.

Back in winter 2006 I visited this very forum asking for advice on where to find a reliable and friendly host. I was shown downtownhost by several people on this forum and I was initally impressed when I saw them.
I've posted up two reviews so far of them in this forum, both of which were very positive.
Over the past year I have been on the smallest semi-dedicated hosting plan which I believe is around $60 a month which I'm happy with.
Until that time I was on their shared hosting which was too excellent.
At first if I had a few problems the three guys (there was only 2 at first I think) were on the support desk to help me out.
Speed and reliability are as good as I can hope for. I never have any problems any more so haven't had a chat with the guys on the support desk in ages but I'm sure they'd respond better than ever.
I shall await your comments.....and the monthly hosting invoice that arrives in my inbox tomorrow
