Support Tickets
Sep 29, 2009Do 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.

Liquidweb Phone Call Support?
Aug 19, 2008I 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?
Phone Support For Hosting Companies?

In other words
Can i hire a company that helps customers out with their problems online or over the phone?
Clients: Is Phone Support Important
Jan 26, 2009This 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?
Support also includes billing and sales.

Jan 18, 2009I have a problem with my godaddy account, At this time my credit card is expiring within a month. when i try to log my hosting accounts and domain manager. It says to give a call for Godaddy billing support number. I tried it, but very busy. I sent few emails and no replies yet. So i couldn't access my account. I paid all bills. Luckily i don't have any expiring domains within few months.
Is this safe? because i need at least 2 weeks to get new credit card? When i check my domain by a whois tool it says like "Prohibited", something.
"Registrar Status: clientDeleteProhibited
Registrar Status: clientRenewProhibited
Registrar Status: clientTransferProhibited
Registrar Status: clientUpdateProhibited"
why godaddy is not user friendly like Hostgator. When i have problems in Hostgator, their online support is helpful.
Support Service From IBM, HP And DELL
Jun 13, 2008When buying a server from big companies like IBM, HP and DELL, you can buy on-site support within 4 hours. Does it mean they go to your datacenter and fix your server within 4 hours or is it that they will do an on-site diagnostic within 4 hours and fix the server later? Do the technician bring spare parts with him or does he needs to order them later?
View 12 Replies View RelatedRackSpace: Can Anyone Match Their Service & Support...
Jan 12, 2006We need a MANAGED dedicated server for a client we are developing a website for. They will do most of their sales online.
Here is what we have found: As far as a managed dedicated server, the BEST company we have found that offers 24/7/365 phone support and has their own in-house hardware tech staff is RackSpace.
However, RackSpace is a little pricey (starts at around $400/month).
Is there any other REPUTABLE company available that offers MANAGED DEDICATED SERVERS WITH 24/7/365 phone support and in-house hardware tech support at a better price? Everytime I call RackSpace, I get a human being on the phone...NEVER an answering machine.
We want to put our client's website in the best hands possible.
With that said, are their any suggestions at a better price that match the support of RackSpace?
Thank you VERY MUCH for your helpful insight. We need to launch the site in a couple of weeks.

Reyaltec - Increasingly Dire Service/support
Jan 19, 2009Does anyone host here with Reyaltec?
I've been with them for over 5 years now, but have almost completely lost patience. Since they offer no public feedback, and only rarely update their network status page with actual server problems, I thought it would only be fair to document some of my recent problems publically. My main issues recently have been:
1. Lack of technical support by telephone. They maintain they offer telephone support, and have an option for it on their automated phone system, but every option goes to the owners wife - who is non technical, and gives the response "the technicians are on the other line" every single time! I've challened this, and they maintain telephone support is available, even though it isn't. When I bought my package with reyaltec (most expensive reseller package they offer) they DID offer phone support and MSN support, which has also now ceased. For me, telephone support is paramount, which is part of the reason I chose to host with them.
2. They have had problems with an old server recently, and rather than migrating the server to new hardware whilst the going was good (they said somebody got "half way through it" before he left the company!?) they have waited until the server crashed and became completely unstable. No apology, just a casual 'yeah, we should have done it sooner really' attitude. In migrating to new hardware, all of my clients websites have been down numerous times over the past 3 days, and some of my clients have lost significant amounts of email over 3 days. At least one client has also had website files go missing. I think this is completely unacceptable.
3. My clients and I seem to be their monitoring service. Whenever their servers go down I seem to be alerting them to the issue via my angry clients, which had gone un-noticed. They persist in defending their network monitoring services, although to me they seem useless (e.g. this morning, email was down again for an hour, but reyaltec were unaware until I pointed it out and they restarted the server).
4. I have not had a package upgrade once in over 5 years.
5. The price has become uncompetitive compared to my other providers.
In short, I understand Reyaltec are a small, family business, but their standards have sunk to such levels that I have lost all faith in their service and integrity as a company. They seem to defend their sloppy practices as though standard (is it standard for people to lose 3 days worth of email during a server upgrade!?) offering no sign of remorse or compensation for the major problems faced by their customers. The only real comment on these issues when I've raised them several times in the past is that 'things are improving' which they don't appear to be.
I am looking to move providers, but I host around 40 domains on their shared packages, so it's a lengthy task. Some of the domains also have MSSQL databases, which reyaltec charge to detach should I need to move them to a new provider, so this would be both expensive and time-consuming. At the risk of losing more clients though it's something I will probably need to do.
I'm interested in other people's views on the company. I used to recommend them, but now recommend against them!
GAZZIN.COM --> Real Bad Service And No Good Support And No Refund Either
May 1, 2008i have been hosting as a reseller with gazzin.com on their windows servers for past some years and in this period i suppose they have shifted their datacenter more than twice causing a great problem to me and all my clients.
the latest period of the shift being going on currently i request you all to go through the transcript below which i had with their support center. when we talk about a refund for this downtime i suppose the owner 'PAUL' just stops responding ......
VPS4Less :: No Tickets No Invoices
Oct 19, 2008I have 2 weeks ago bought a VPS. The guy (Sven) told me that i got the the VPS that evening (4 October). At 6 October he didn't answer tickets anymore and i didn't got my VPS.
At 10 October i asked PayPal to get my money back, cause i didn't got a VPS when i payed it. Today i got a e-mail that i got my money back.
A friend of me got a server from Valueserver (same owner as VPS4Less) and had the same as me. He didn't answer tickets anymore, and doesn't send invoices.
Are there any other people who had the same as me or my friend?
GixxerPC Not Responding To Tickets
Feb 8, 2009it has been over 36 hours since I submit a ticket to GixxerPC because I can't login to my client account and I want to cancel my VPS.
I guess they have decided to close their doors to me once I asked for a cancellation because a friend of mine is letting me use his VPS.
I am hoping that this topic will catch the eyes of some GixxerPC staff so they will answer my ticket.

Why Put Edited Tickets To The End Of The Queue
May 27, 2008I just saw in another thread that edited support tickets are put to the end of the queue.
Seems the wrong thing to do.
When I report a problem I often do more research and if I find more detail that will help the support person I add it to the ticket.
If that makes the ticket drop down the queue that is a major disincentive to being helpful

SoftLayer Is Using Tickets To Send SPAM
Sep 2, 2008I don't know about you guys... But when my datacenter opens a Ticket, I drop anything else I'm working on to take care of it...
God forbid someone had reported spam on MY domain, and they were warning me with a server take down notice.
Imagine my surprise when it turned out it was them breaking there own spam policy.
Here's the ticket /SPAM for those interested:

Dear Customer,
Your account has been selected for a special promotional price on our Network Attached Storage (NAS) for off-server backup. This is a great way to insure that your mission critical files and data are kept safe in case of some form of hardware failure. The FTP/NAS storage we offer is basically an allotment of space on one of our shared storage servers. We will provide you with the IP address and login to the space, and you can FTP your data across the private network from the private NIC on your server to this space.
You or your server administrator can automate the process by installing a script/cron job, or by setting up the backup utility within cPanel or Plesk.
Currently your account is eligible to order a NAS account for one half of the normal retail pricing. You will need to be logged in to your customer portal at the following link:
[url]
Enter the following promotional codes to take advantage of the special pricing.
$5/mo for 20GB of NAS: Half20nas
$10/mo for 40GB of NAS: Half40nas
$20/mo for 80GB of NAS: Half80nas
$25/mo for 100GB of NAS: Half100nas
$50/mo for 250GB of NAS: Half250nas
Having a solid backup of critical data is very important. It can save hours of time and trouble for your server administrator in the event the server is compromised, or the hard drive fails. For just a few dollars a month you can rest assured that your files and data are securely stored and your business is safe. How much is your business worth to you? If it is worth more than a few dollars a month I suggest you take advantage of our half off NAS storage promotion while it lasts as this promotion is only good for 7 days!
Dotable Suspends Account Doesn't Respond To Tickets
Aug 26, 2008One of our accounts has been suspended by Dotable.
It is under quota for diskspace and bandwidth and has been paid for in advance.
Dotable will not respond to the ticket asking why the account has been suspended and what we have to do to get it back up.
I have posted on the Dotable forum (in the 'Dotable Support Forum) about this but nobody has replied (I can't link to it because I don't have more than 5 posts).
Has anyone got any suggestions about what I can do to find out why the account has been suspended and how to get it back up if Dotable doesn't reply?
Phone Server
Jan 7, 2009I 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedPhone Validation Codes
Apr 30, 2009Is 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)
Line3.co.uk - Just Phone Dead
May 12, 2008Does 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.
Phone System Checking
Jun 14, 2007I'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.
Access Ssh Via Mobile Phone
Apr 21, 2007i 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.

View 12 Replies View RelatedSPAM Phone Texts Spoofed From VPLS
Apr 8, 2009Within 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.
Midphase Phone System Issues & Blacklists
Mar 23, 2009Issue #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!
