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 reseller account with them, they switched my servers 2-3 times in a year. Fine. but when they switched they lost all my packages,so i have to recreate all them, not to mention some packages i have no idea what's the limits i used. No warning that servers are being switched, they just switch and let me know.
So i e-mailed and asked for my cpanel packages to be restored, this is the response! "This is impossible, sorry. Unfortunately, cPanel will never transfer packages correctly. Please re-create it." So i replied and said what i had to say that this is rediculous and i should atleast given a chance to copy my packages...this is the response i get: "Well, next time we will leave your accounts on the server with broken hard drives. Data was corrupted all the way. You must appreciate what we had done. "
As a WEB HOSTING company isn't it your basic responsebility to take care of the crappy hardware you have?, but not tell a customer they will leave my accounts on broken hardware?
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 Their website is totally outdated to 2008 and buggy as hell, that kayako support thing doesn't work at all, general support is offline 24h, MSN is offline, 1h response means maybe 1 week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 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?
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.
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 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. Verbose logfile is at '/usr/local/cpanel/logs/easy/apache/build.1212079281' ---- seems the yum repo being used has bad files: Error: Missing Dependency: zlib = 1.2.3-0 is needed by package zlib-devel Error: Missing Dependency: libjpeg = 6b-0 is needed by package libjpeg-devel --- -0 isn't a normal package id.
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.
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.....
Allocated 2 IPs for NS1 and NS2. Registered the nameservers with the Registrar. These resolve but any domain using the nameservers (including the server's domain) does not resolve.
Bind is running, according to WHM/Sevices.
Using checkdns.net it finds the NS records but it can't fetch SOA from them ("Connection reset. Probably DNS server is offline.")
I didn't have similar problems before with RedHat/CPanel on a different host.
