Does anyone know if Line3 are just having phone problems or is it something more serious? The only phone number on their web site is unobtainable and has been for some hours.
Also, they're not answering online support queries.
I've ordered dedicated sever the AMD4200 at vpsbyte last Thursday, exactly a week ago, but status on my client page is still pending, during a whole week i sent 4 emails with 1 response - a promise to set up server in Monday, and that's 3 days ago. Gee i am so pissed off i had to set my project to idle and loose money. Their website is totally outdated to 2008 and buggy as hell, that kayako support thing doesn't work at all, general support is offline 24h, MSN is offline, 1h response means maybe 1 week response if lucky.I don't really grow my money in trees and i really need superfast connection to my dedicated server for reasonable price...
I feel robbed, should i report them to authorities for scam? or they are just out of business?
i just installed rpmforge repo and updated the my vps everything went fine now every thing is fine exept ftp i have tried both pure-ftp and pro-ftp both are not workingh the port 21 is used by xinetd i am not able to find out what to due the ftp installs successfully but after installations is done it give Failed on restarting stopping or starting
WHat can i do to remove this i used the status command to /etc/init.d/pureftpd status Pureftpd is dead this is what i got Pro-ftpd gives error unable to bind ip at port 21
I purchased a plan in westnic.net almost two weeks ago and I haven't received my login/password until now. I kept sending them e-mail using their forms or direct e-mail to sales or support. Nothing. They sent me a temp login/pass that stopped working after few hours and they said that I should received my account details in few hours. I received nothing.
What should I do now? I really need webspace to start working. What do you guys suggest, should I find another webhost service or what?

I have never had a hard drive fail on me, i dont think the I/O on my servers would ever warrant it but im looking to ask people that have had a hard drive die one them the following:
1. Were you ever cautious before your hard drive failure or did you lose data and if you did lose data, did it make you buck up your ideas (i.e do you now have a solid backup plan or do you still play maverick)
2. If you have had a hard drive failure, has it made you, do you think, overly-cautious?
3. Has a hard-drive failure ever swayed you towards the more expensive raptor drives? and if so, why?
What RBL servers and list.domain.TLD is actually curently active?
I have the following in my RBL check, but i can't find the ip addresses for 3 of them. Have they changed there names or what? zen.spamhaus.org Cannot resolve multihop.dsbl.org to an IP address. bl.spamcop.net 216.127.43.94 dnsbl.sorbs.net 203.15.51.39 64.124.52.230 217.160.75.23 cbl.abuseat.org 216.168.28.50 multihop.dsbl.org Cannot resolve multihop.dsbl.org to an IP address. qmail.bondedsender.org Cannot resolve query.bondedsender.org to an IP address
I see a lot of dedicated server companies providing the "same" types of servers but what about phone servers?
I'm looking for a server that can be used as a PBX System, auto-dialer and predictive dialer with a good per minute long distance rate. We're currently paying 3.5 cents per minute and at around 16,800 calls per day (35 calls per minute / 8 hours per day) on an outbound campaign it gets pretty expensive.
If there are no dedicated server companies that can provide this I'm not opposed to purchasing a dialer system and co-locating it. Again, would need a co-location company with good phone rates.
I am currently using WHMCS and am interested in integrating mobile billing (phone or sms) into my payment options. Does anyone know of a payment process that allows phone billing that can be integrated with WHMCS?
I have found an webhosting company which offers on call support in India. I am searching for a good webhost which can provide me round the clock support.I have searched for that company in this forum and i couldnt find the details of it. So can you people help me to find out a hosting company which gives on-call support in India?
It would be good if i can find a hosting company which provide on call support within 5 days.
Is there any service out there that provides a method for a registration to have phone activation codes? Basically the user would enter their phone number as part of a submission form, and the service would phone that number giving a code, then they have to enter that code to validate the rest of the process. Kinda like paypal.
Does anything like this exist, and is it affordable?
Captchas just don't cut it anymore, I'm thinking of consolidating all of my forums/services into one main account system, and use phone activation + a series of advanced captchas or something. This would also make it easier to ban as I would just perma ban the phone number too.
Any other idea to 1: stop bots, 2: perma ban someone? (need a unique piece of ID that can be validated)
I'm thinking to implement a solution for our VOIP system so that automatic calls should be done several times a day and to check that someone is responding or that it's ringing.
We are using AsteriskWin32 for now and for our needs it's working great.
i have read somewhere you can logon to your server via ssh on your mobile phone. Anyone know what software is needed and how to do this? I'm off on holiday at some point and i could do with an emergency backup plan! I use a Sony ericcson p900 (oldschool i know!)
My 2nd question is:
What enables/disdabled php to access files outside of root? On my current vps, i can't include files like using ../ or full paths to files/folders outside of the public web folder.
I have a managed dedicated box in Liquidweb for nearly 1 year and never call them by phone. Don't get me wrong, they have very good server and support via ticket so far until recently the server is getting ddos attack and have to be null route an ip address on the server.
I have a ticket about this issue and communicate back and forth however the ddos attack is very strong and the null route have to be continue. After many hours of null route, I decided to request to remove it to see if the ddos attack have been gone. As usual I submit the request through the old ticket but not getting any response after more than 30 minutes. I think the person in charge might be busy so I lift up my phone and call to Liquidweb for reminder of the message in the ticket.
Surprisingly the person who pick up the phone ask for the password of my account or the last 4 digits of my credit card number. I told him that I don't pay by credit card (I used paypal to pay) and he keep asking me my Liquidweb account password for verification purpose. I was stucked there because I don't know whether it is correct step to giveaway my Liquidweb account password? I finally told him that I will open a new ticket to remind them to reply to the message in the old ticket and hang up the phone.
Any Liquidweb customer here who have called them via phone support? Kindly share your experience here. Is the procedure to get account password for verification was one of the correct steps?
This question is mainly for the client, but anyone is welcome. I am curious how important is phone support when you are looking for a host. Does the host need to have one or not or does it even matter?
I am having a bit of trouble from a guy and he has managed to get my full details from my domain name even though I have them set private, how has he done this?
One of my hosts I am using is Cobrahosts. It looks like that they not giving support anymore, because their url [url] goes to 1 & 1. Also they don't reply to emails I send and their phone number is out of service. I am still paying them and my sites with them are online. Anyone can help me out with a contact number? Many
I was looking at Godaddy's grid servers and it says you can have unlimited concurrent connections:
[url]
With dedicated servers if you wanted to have 2 million concurrent users you would need hundreds of dedicated servers in a cluster, but Godaddy grid hosting can do this for $4.99/month:
[url]
Of course currently give users unlimited compute cycles so if they start charging it could increase the price but godaddy don't charge for ram. Of course if you needed more bandwidth you can buy more.
Sure, Godaddy grid hosting doesn't allow videos on your server(embed's allowed) but you wanted to have a website that was at the top of digg and worldwide media outlets reported it, Godady grid hosting would be great for this.
So i guess if i had to choose between a dedicated server and godaddy grid hosting for a forum, i would choose grid hosting because i can have unlimited users online at the same time and not have to worry about cpu load.
I've a dedicated server at ThePlanet / Servermatrix for the past few years and for the most part the service has been okay. Uptime has been good and support used to be fairly swift.
Early wednesday morning the primary hard drive in my server started dying. Throughout the day various services kept going up and down and overall the entire server was very unstable. I didn't get much movement from ThePlanet's support team - they would reboot the server, SSH and other services would come back online, and so they would close the ticket.
Thirty minutes after the reboot the HD would switch to read-only and stuff would start dying. So they finally recommended that I replace the HD and do an OS reload. I said fine as I had a backup of all of the accounts on a 2nd hard drive.
Well it took until 6am this morning for the OS reload to finally be completed, but when it was done apache was *completely* screwed up. WHM was up and running but if you went to the server IP address in the browser you got an error.
It turns out that something really badly went wrong with the OS reload but it took them hours before they even admitted that there was something wrong that needed more action. It's now 10pm and while email and other services are up, apache is still nonexistent.
When I try to run easyapache it barely starts before it errors out with a bunch of missing dependencies. I cannot instal GD and a bunch of other items, and I keep getting error messages that SSL isn't installed either.
Please visit [url] for help with this error.! No original working apache backup to restore! Executing '/scripts/initfpsuexec'! Executing '/scripts/initsslhttpd'! Compiling report... Sending report (6304 bytes)... If you want to create a support ticket with cPanel regarding this please reference 'BuildAP Report Id': '741873'! Report processed.

I can't even transfer my accounts off the server as that's also broken - I was going to all of the accounts off to my KnownHost VPS but I keep getting an authentication error ("sshcmdpermissiondeny") even though I'm definitely entering the correct root password.
Within the past five days, we've received dozens of phone calls and email complaints about spam text messages. People are getting phone messages that read something like this,
"Gabrielle (different name each time) wanted you to see her blog Gabrielle.flapwhat.com"
The websites point to various Canadian Pharmacy sites hosted in China.
The texts will have a FROM address of XXXXX@vpls.net, but those names obviously don't exist at our company. Most of the victims are on Sprint and now the texts are being sent to Verizon customers also.
We've discovered that Sprint and Verizon have websites where anyone can type in a message to a phone. In addition, Sprint (not sure about Verizon), has a standardized email address for phones that looks something like NUMBER@messaging.sprintpcs.com. This appears to be an open-relay server that can take any from address and in this case they are putting in our domain (vpls.net).
We've talked to the FBI and Sprint. We've also sent a complaint to the Chinese hosting provider, but have received nothing back. Sprint has stonewalled us saying they have no system of recording were the texts are being sent from.
Just a heads up for other hosting providers if you run into this. We've burned many hours trying to stop this and in answering complaints.
Issue #1 Has anyone else noticed that JUST WHEN YOU NEED TO GET AHOLD OF MIDPHASE their %^&*() phone system goes down.
I swear they've programmed the ^&*( thing that way! Either "we're sorry, that option isn't available right now" (which is the Tech Support option) or you can't even get through.
Does anyone else find this issue with them?
And of course, their 24/7 online chat service just keeps on saying "All operators are currently assisting others. Thanks for your patience. An operator will be with you shortly."
Some days ya can't win for losing!
Issue #2 Some idiot on the same shared server that I'm on has done something that has now blacklisted the IP my account sits on and I'd like to know what the normal time is to get something like this taken care of should be.
I was told it would only "take a couple of hours". Well, we're now pushing 12+ hours and it's still not taken care of.
Midphase indicated that it was an issue with another account on the same shared server.
Yes. It's probably my own fault for using a shared account and it's part of the risk I'm sure I take, but my gosh, this sure seems to be taking longer than I expected.
Meanwhile, the Black List gods have my emails held hostage. I can't send ANY emails out from my account because all the ISP's out there show the IP address my account rides on as black-listed because some dufas brain that shares' the IP address must have done something really stupid. Guild by association with the moron!
I am trying to get a feel out there if cPanel users would pay for a service say $5.00 - $10.00 a month where they can call in to a number and have access to their system. They would be able to reboot the server, restart services, stop and start services, get server statistics etc.
A database of open relay email servers, provided until late 2006 as a voluntary service to help email administrators block spam, has suddenly re-activated but is returning every address queried as being on its blacklist.
Administrators of email systems should have stopped querying the database (relays.ordb.org) in December 2006 when it shut down, but some failed to do so. That was no problem until today, queries were simply rejected, but now the address of any email server presented is being returned as an open relay. This results in the querying system rejecting all incoming mails from that server.....
I use WAMP on my XP desktop to test Joomla! add-ons and scripts; as well as other php scripts before I upload to the WWW and go live. I currently use KIS.
Anyway, I installed a trial addon to J! that required a 'key' from the developer and thought that KIS would alert me to the outgoing connection that the add-on was making to verify the key; but it didn't/can't.
I've considered VMWare and Returnil, but am not sure how a VM works so that I would be alerted to outgoing connections from a script.
Just to clarify - I realize many apps have license bots that phone home to verify its a legal copy. I'm not trying to circumvent that. It just that with over 4K of extensions available for J!, I'd like to be certain that once installed, the extension is not reading the member list, etc. and sending that info to who knows where. For example, I paid a small fee for a neat WHOIS script that, come to find out, connects to the developers site every time a query is run. Not saying that he's "tasting" the lookups but, I wished I'd known that before I uploaded it to my site.
I've posted this question to the KIS Forum and have been told it's not possible to configure KIS to operate this way. I found [url]butI'm not sure this is going to do what I need.
