wtf where am i

[Darknight]

:cry2: everything I just built has been destoryed in 10 mins by some halfassed company called pixelfxsoloution.com

Wel not entriley I have offerd free domains (witch costs me money) for the downtime. or upgrades witch also cost me money in the long run....

Why is there so many asswipes in hosting and server reselling :S
Sometimes I feel
there is not one person that knows wtf there really doing....................................................... ....................

HOW CAN I PROVIDE GOOD SERVICE WITH GOOD UPTIME IF EVERY BLOODY PERSON I TRY GOING THROUGH IS STUPID.

I feel the only way to overcome this would be buy a datacenter so mabye thats my next move ;)

Ok ima go now.:cry2:

[Keagle]

Uhm, cool. Next time go with one of the good hosts with a good reputation here? :)

Lesson #1.
Server: $500
Domain: $8.88
The look on underg's face when he realises he's been scammed: Priceless


Sorry, just had to :P

[Darknight]

where did the server go??
half an hour and still no server like wtf???
What a bunch of clowns :(

[Darknight]

Uhm, cool. Next time go with one of the good hosts with a good reputation here? :)

I dont want hosting...
I need servers...
And these guys came recommended from another hosting service
And no offence but what host here sells servers with a good rep?
Coz lasttime someone said a server reseller was good 1 - 2 months later there no where to be seen?

[AMC]

If i can assume from this post, that your hosting company has just gone down or closed down, then i can sympathise.

we have had very similar problems with our two webhosts, its a real struggle trying to find a decent resseller or dedi host.

sometimes the best option is to go with the most well known host you can find, problem is then that you barely ever end up talking to an actual human about your problems.

[Keagle]

Look around. I'm not holding your hand all the way ;)

Hm, have you got backups of your site(s)? Also, don't feel everyone's retarded just because you had a hard time with one company.

Just my one cent,

:)

I know the feeling. Surprisingly, a good 80% of the administrators out
there don't know anything beyond using the WHM menu on Cpanel systems
and that's it! Should scare the hell out of you! LOL

(And you wonder why so many hosts have hacking and security problems?)

What really scares me is all these people offering server management
services for other hosts who don't know anything themselves and it is
a lot like the blind leading the blind. :lol:

I've been a programmer and unix systems administrator for more than 30 years
and unlike a lot of these jacks who don't know what the heck they're doing,
I do know how everything works all the way down to the code internals and
where it takes some administrators weeks to find and fix a simple problem,
it generally takes me a few seconds so yeah I know first hand what you
are talking about here.

I am often hired to help various hosts with specific issues all the time and I
would say that 9 out 10 times, I will find other serious issues unrelated to
what I was hired for such as no security, everything in it's default install
state still unconfigured, and the host actually using these servers as
production servers! When I ask about these items, the hosts always tell
me about some 3rd party management company they are supposedly using
to manage their servers and after a bit of further digging, I learn that their
so called "management" company has never even logged into their server(s).
I see this same scenario time and time again just about every single day
and it is something that is really quite alarming!

I am generally of the opinion that hosts should not be in the hosting business
unless they know what they are doing and are experts at it but unfortunately
that sentiment is quite different from the reality of the real world out there!

[AMC]

EDIT: I really dont know much about the management of servers, infact im not great with WHM, I'm sure there are tonnes of features i dont use. The thing is though, i have to agree with amz,
before i do ANYTHING, whether on the net or not, i miake sure i know what im doing. And if i dont, then i will usually find someone who does and wants to help. They should really set up some sort of qualification thing. Does anyone know if the BBB reliability online program applies to hosting. It should, uptime is not a full measure of the competence of a host by any means










let me get this straight, you were buying a dedi?? sorry if im confused

[Richard]

Well don't say you where not warned about pixelfxsoloution.com. They have nothing but a bad reputation in various places.

On your comment about most dedicated server providers going under after the first few months, Galaxy-Solutions has been going for 6 months now, and we have been selling servers since March 2005 on our sister site: galaxy-hosts.com

[Darknight]

Ok let me clear it up
I have a server with them 2nd month after moving from vps's

I reported memory issues 10 days after I got it...

Like i said luckly I can get hold of a vps to cover the ircd clients why i get a new server setup!! and websites dns is the only real issue anyone here that would like to give me a cpl of nameservers for like 2/3 days? I cant access all the domains to change there nameservers so i would need ns1.tasserv.com and ns2.tasserv.com? you will be rewarded in under 2 weeks for your troubles... name a price I cant pay today but i will pay :-) I think iv been around the forums alittle while now you can trust me :P

I have todo althis and redo my whole irc network as well as go to work :S fun fun fun

[Abush]

Try futurehosting.biz underg. I've had a vps with them for 3 months or a bit more and they are real good IMO. I dono how it'd be for a dedi though. I still think it's worth giving them a shot. Very fast (less than 2 hours) ticket response on average at least.

Im also looking at your servers too I swear if i orderd one and you ---- me around in anyway look out :P lol:beer: joking :}

Be advised that the server providers who allow ircd clients are very few
in number and most data centers write the use of ircd specifically in to their
TOS policies and most, not all but most, will terminate your server or
VPS if caught running and kind of ircd process.

A bit up the alley of my previous lecture of host incompetence, many of the
dedicated server resellers don't bother to read the TOS policies of their
upstream provider and tell you you can have ircd when you really cannot!

I have seen countless dedicated server resellers get busted and go under
for this exact specific reason because their upstream provider canceled
all their servers without much warning.

The lesson to be learned here is read your server provider's TOS and if
they are a dedicated or VPS reseller for another company then I highly
recommend you read that TOS policy as well.

To cover your own rear end, you should be sure that the data center
where you are actually hosted allows ircd if that is something you plan
on using on your server account.

[Dan]

underg,
Can I suggest you have a look at jewlzk.com?
I have a dedicated server with them and I must say the service, support and uptime is absolutely brillient.
Have a look anyways. ;)

Oh no this vps is straight from a shell provider so its 100% safe its irc and adult allowed :P

Ok thank you will do :beer:

[Fear101]

sometimes buying a domain is not bad but sometimes it is crapy but it does has it's ups and downs but on the other hand free is you don't get as much service you know what i mean

[Keagle]

underg do you still need a domain? I can temporarily point talkingwow.com to nameservers of your choice :)

[Darknight]

I think somewhere we lost what was really going on,
My server died witch means ns1.tasserv.com and ns2.tasserv.com are dead
I have temp fixed ns1.tasserv.com ns2 is dead but hay 1 makes it work..
Currently im looking for a replace ment server and have a temp vps thats JUST holding all my client :P
I have resolved most issues except for decent stable nameservers but hay its working well enough to last 48 hours why the new server is being setup.

I don't understand this concept of not having DNS servers ...

How can you NOT have DNS servers?

Where is your DNS served from when you create hosting accounts?

You have confused me but..
What i ment was all my DNS was hosted on 1 dedi witch was removed.. so I had no dns for the 20 domains that I was hosting! but i have since resolved this issue and if you look closley all domains such as freakcorp.com end up with sh3lls.net as ns lolol this is where the vps is from
Of course its not my vps I wouldnt buy a vps from sh3lls i tried that once but yeah Im still currently trying to find a good provider that I can trust looking at http://www.staminus.net/ been in talk with them for over 48 hours.

[AMC]

You've lost me here, but it sounds like you have it under control
