"You are not permitted to use any 'break out of frames' scripts on your pages."

Why not? I always have two measures for ensuring my visitors break out of frames:

JavaScript: if(top!=self)self.parent.location=self.location;
HTML <HEAD>: <base target="_top">

And you claim there are no ads!

blackarib

November 10th, 2004, 10:53

Sorry about that, this will be removed from the t&c - there are NO ADS on zhosting, and we have no plans to start putting them on pages.

with windows server again, you will have to ask the server admin to permission-ize all of the files that you usually would CHMOD yourself. That's IF the server admin has Windows Server.

I think .tk domain names went down for a while, it was not a server problem so users' websites were not affected. There is no need for you to CHMOD any files.

Are you sure this is the address of the FTP server? This is often different from that of the HTTP (web) server. Please contact your ISP helpdesk or system administrator for help.

well, its sounds all fine and dandy, but I have a question, where exactly are these server(s) located? It seems like its an out of the house job seeing as the ips are aol, and you need to use dyndns.org, with a real connection to the net you wouldn't need dyndns.org, I could use my dial up at home with dyndns.org and host my own server if I really felt the need to. And what type of connection do the server(s) have to the net?

Well, you can go ahead and cancel my account, "offroadoutpost", because everytime you try to upload into through FTP, the files magically disappear. Really, they do.

Avenger55

They don't disappear, you're just not seeing any files in your ftp client. Click the file manager in the zpanel and you'll see files.

CoffeeMonster

November 22nd, 2004, 16:02

The person runs Windows Server on a 200 GB H.D.D... what else is there to know except the speed? Also, if you use web2ftp.com, you might be able to resolve WS FTP LE's deletion of non-empty folders issue.

prosoft

November 22nd, 2004, 16:20

Well, I was kind of also woundering what type of connection it has, just because its fast now doesn't mean that it will always be fast, there may only be like 250k a second going through it, what happens the second it reaches 1mb a sec.

CoffeeMonster

November 22nd, 2004, 16:23

Yeah, I guess that's in line as well. However, even if you have Dial-Up (like me) a 300 KB file can be uploaded to a 100 MBps server in less than 50 seconds (depending on how fast the server is in terms of multiple user handling).

prosoft

November 22nd, 2004, 16:30

But that still doesn't mean anything, I can do the same thing, 6k a sec isn't too hard to get for my dial up, but, consider housing a server even on a cable connection, around here, 128k upload and 256k download, $100 which comes with the static ip but allows it to be used as a server, that leaves me, at even 5kb per page, 26 people can access that server at once to make good speed, with more then 350 customers, thats going to be hard to keep it that low.

CoffeeMonster

November 22nd, 2004, 18:16

That WOULD be hard. o_O But still, for a user of a dynamic IP server, I cannot say that my connection would be any good in brining down your speed (in terms of joking). But you have to give credit for those A+ guys, they help us out with a lot of this stuff.

And...

blackarib

If the need for a faster connection arises we will provide one, we try our best to give you a good service.

CoffeeMonster

November 23rd, 2004, 12:32

You mean giving a faster connection, as in uploading something? Because if that's so... then we dial-up users won't be able to feel it, as we have one speed going both ways (unlike ADSL, DSL, etc.)

prosoft

November 23rd, 2004, 15:14

That still doesn't answer my question, I'm not worried what we will feel, I'm worried what will happen if my site gets 50 hits every second of the day, if the connection will be able to handle it, they will be able to feel it, because the connection may only be made to support 15 people every second. So the question still stands, what kind of connection do the server(s) have?

blackarib

November 24th, 2004, 04:18

1. If your site get 50 hits a second I doubt you will be using free hosting
2. As we said before, if we expand to the extent that our connection in inadequate we will upgrade it.

prosoft

November 24th, 2004, 08:19

ok, fine, but you would be the first that would not tell of the connection the servers are on, and it wouldn't have to be just one site that has 50 people there a second, it could be done over a span of 350 sites.

prosoft

November 24th, 2004, 15:34

That explains thier blogdns.com thing... the ip address changes constantly, which means it isn't up 24/7, you have to disconnect and then connect to get a new ip as far as I know...

CoffeeMonster

November 24th, 2004, 15:37

If their IP address changes all the time, their host/server is configured for Dynamic IP Classes (such as A, B, C, and D.) If you take A+ or study up on it, you'll know what these classes contain.

prosoft

November 24th, 2004, 16:41

Well, I'm not motivated to take a class just because someone is running a server out of their house.

Prosoft - RE: Post #76
We reboot our servers every day, this is what causes the ip to change. This rebooting is for increased system speed and reliability (ok - it leads to 1-2 minutes downtime while the process is taking place)

Does this take place at a regular time each day? I just wondered so it could be taken into account and posted on the persons site so that users would know.

We cannot give a specific time but it is usually in the evening (GMT), though as mentioned before this causes little downtime.

Sorry, but due to the actions of a minority of people we are closing signups. We know of one user that has now signed up for six accounts. Activities like these will no longer be tolerated and EVERY account they have signed up for will be deleted. Due to us now feeling the need to filter the signups, in future they will take longer to be processed.

You can go ahead and delete my account also, because I've had no luck with your FTP or ZPanel file manager.

Good luck to everyone else, but I wouldn't recommend Zhosting.

Edit: I went to sign up so I could try out the speed of the server, and yes, the server is running quite slow, I have an OC-3 connection I'm using, its still loading the page, so over 45 seconds per page.

Well, an OC-3 connection has a speed of like 155mbs or something like that, so it shouldn't be my line thats wrong, I personnaly think to many people signed up and are using it. So I would suggest a line upgrade.

blackarib

December 3rd, 2004, 09:55

Is this connection on a network, how many other people were using it at the same time? If so you are not nessicarily getting 155mb/s. Don't worry, all users will get to keep their accounts, all it will really mean to you is that the company will have a different name.

prosoft

December 3rd, 2004, 11:14

Yes others are using it, but still, I just downloaded a 174mb file in about 3 minutes from it, so that should still be plenty fast enough to grab from your site at a high enough speed to do something.

blackarib

If it is taking over 45 seconds to load a page this is not our connection, does everyone experience this?

prosoft

December 4th, 2004, 10:03

Ok, well, we would still like to know what kind of connection it is, it doesn't seem to be any type of OC connection, so I would now guess its just a simple cable connection that has like 128k upload and then whatever it is download. So you can only serve 128kb a second. Not a lot of room to become a big free host. But, if you are truely changing hosting companys, the connection should be a better one, but we'll see.

blackarib

December 4th, 2004, 12:03

Sorry, but the recent problems with speed are not to do with our connection, which is only being abut 10% utilized. They are being caused by server speed and we are trying to find the root of the problem, sorry for any inconvenience.

prosoft

December 4th, 2004, 12:14

But that still doesn't mean you can't tell us what type if connection you have for the servers. Any good host whether free or paid will tell what connection they got.

canardpress

December 4th, 2004, 12:20

The site is down half the time, and they don't have a real domain. Doesn't sound like a very good host to me.

December 4th, 2004, 13:17

Ok, thats better, though canard is right, you should get a real domain name.

blackarib

December 4th, 2004, 17:17

Sorry, my bad, I personally beleive you could put much better use to it if you use linux instead of windows, I've found linux to be secure and faster. But thats just me, no, sorry, I don't have any ideas.

Manzi

December 4th, 2004, 17:59

why not continue as zhosting.net

if you dont here are some ideas

omegahosting.net(com)
or
deluxhosting.net(com)
any of these are good but i say stay with zhosting.net because you have name recongnition as zhosting so why not stay

_____________________
also i have a account and the webspace is still a little bit slow but it has gotten better then it was when i 1st signed up one thing i think is many are turned away by the cheap look of the current website make some improvements to better the look

blackarib

December 4th, 2004, 18:22

We had considered this but the names zhosting.(org/net/com/info) are already taken. We could only have zhosting.(biz/cc/ws/tv/nu/bz) and we would like either a .com or a .net domain.

Manzi

December 4th, 2004, 18:24

i typed in zhosting.net and .com no site came up but i guess someone owns the domain...

Silent-X

December 5th, 2004, 03:20

What about something like.. zehosting, or zeehosting.. oO

y04chs067

December 5th, 2004, 06:59

That will be cool.And i really prefer it if you can run a server that can CHMOD files...

blackarib

December 5th, 2004, 07:19

zee1.net - what do you think?

prosoft

December 5th, 2004, 07:34

To chmod files you'll need a linux server...

blackarib

December 5th, 2004, 08:05

Sorry, we have no plans to start using a linux server - may I ask why you want to chmod files?

Manzi

December 5th, 2004, 08:59

na i think zee1.net is not to great because you need a name that says you are hosting or something close to that ....but what does zee1.net mean?

blackarib

December 5th, 2004, 09:27

It does not really mean anything. We are just looking for somethig short and easy to remember.

blackarib

December 5th, 2004, 13:44

Sorry to tell you this but signups are no longer completely instant, you have to wait up to a few hours for FTP accounts to be activated , but this should reamin a far shorter length of time than before.

blackarib

December 5th, 2004, 16:30

Sorry, there was a system crash, it was straight back up again.

Manzi

December 5th, 2004, 16:52

it just did it again

when i was trying to upload a file it would be uploading but when its done there is no file

MarkK

December 6th, 2004, 04:54

may I ask why you want to chmod files?

Without CHMOD half of all php script and other things are useless.

prosoft

December 6th, 2004, 05:22

For example, xoops, you need to chmod some files/directories there, invision power board, chmod a few things there, some of the major scripts need chmod for what I thought was obvious. Now, yes, you can still do permissions on windows, but thier not as great.

blackarib

December 6th, 2004, 10:02

I don't know about xoops but we have several users successfully using ipb, with no reports of any problems.

blackarib

December 6th, 2004, 13:32

We have upgraded phpBB2 to the newest version and have upgraded phpnuke to version 7.5

blackarib

December 7th, 2004, 10:26

We would encourage all Zhosting customers to take part in the important poll we are running in our forums (in the announcements section), you do not have to register to take part.

1idjack

December 8th, 2004, 03:59

just signed up and have been sitting here for about 2 or 3 minutes waiting for the zpanel to load! I have a DSL connection with 2mbs , it shouldnt take this long!

1idjack

December 8th, 2004, 04:07

Just cancel my subsrciption. I have only been a member for 10 minutes and I can already see that this host is no good. What are you guys useing, FischerPrice servers? You get em at wal mart? That was a waste of time. 10 minutes of my life i cant get back!!! lol I suggest all of you stay away from zhost!

blackarib

December 8th, 2004, 11:10

This is a known issue that we intend to clear up this Saturday, please do no insult our hosting when you "have only used it for 10 minutes"

tihomir

December 8th, 2004, 16:39

But the your hosting is slow.... :(

tihomir

December 8th, 2004, 16:42

And unavailable for minutes...maybe hours?!

zhosting.tk is not working neither is z.blogdns.com or blogdns.com

blackarib

December 9th, 2004, 11:27

Sorry, it is working now.

blackarib

December 9th, 2004, 11:48

For reasons out of our control the zhosting.tk domain does not seem to be working, you can use this link for our website instead.

I suggest you go and buy a domain, or at least get a free .info domain..

tmgavin

December 10th, 2004, 09:42

Yea.. good point..

blackarib

December 10th, 2004, 09:46

We already have plans to buy a domain.

canardpress

December 10th, 2004, 09:53

Not to be intrusive or rude or anything, but how much money have you spend so far.. servers, software..?

blackarib

December 10th, 2004, 09:58

Enough

canardpress

December 10th, 2004, 18:02

Well check out quackhost.info, my site. Through friends, family, and bargining I got that up and running for free. You know what your doing and have better resources then me, so use it! :)

blackarib

December 11th, 2004, 13:50

We have now carried out some system maintainance and hope that we have resolved our problems with server speed, please let us know if you experience any further problems.

MarkK

December 12th, 2004, 03:33

Every time I check your site the images ain't loading, I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong, but it's abnormal..

Manzi

December 12th, 2004, 07:54

i dont think the issues with the servers have been resolved sites still seem to be loading slow your support forum was a little faster then before...still got some work to do. i say you email all zhosting users and let them know to back up there files because you should delete all acounts clean out your servers and start fresh...just an idea

blackarib

December 12th, 2004, 08:56

This is not really a viable option but we will soon be deleting inactive accounts and EVERY account of someone we suspect of having multiple accounts - we will be ruthless!

Manzi

December 12th, 2004, 09:02

eh oh well i say start fresh..anew

blackarib

December 12th, 2004, 09:38

The heaviest users are the ones with multiple accounts and we suspect up to 150 multiple accounts that we plan to remove.

canardpress

December 12th, 2004, 11:23

Hey blackbarib, how many serveres do you have? If had a couple you could move the info from one to another, reformat and re-prepare it, and do the same to all. That's what a lot of hosting companies do to keep their servers fast.

blackarib

December 12th, 2004, 12:42

Sorry, we only have one server.

1idjack

December 12th, 2004, 12:54

yes, and that one server is a guys pc in his house. If you check the i.p. you'll see that it goes back to an aol account. Not very professional at all! :shame:

blackarib

December 12th, 2004, 16:35

We offer you webspace (quite a lot of it), we are nice to you, and we dont ask for anything in return - does it really matter who we get our connection from?

canardpress

December 12th, 2004, 17:44

Well that just ins't fari. 32%, from Server World magazine, of all hosting companies are run off PC's. A PC can be a very good server. I would suggest building another one though so you have backup.

MarkK

December 13th, 2004, 06:19

does it really matter who we get our connection from?

Not really but AOL is bad and slow ;)

blackarib

December 13th, 2004, 09:58

We would get a more 'professional' connection but so far we have made a total of £0.00, not exactly much of an incentive. If we make more money we will upgrade internet connection and server equipment but at the moment everything is from my pocket!

Manzi

December 13th, 2004, 10:08

and what is your daily line of work?

blackarib

December 13th, 2004, 10:14

Currently - Zhosting - it dosn't exactly pay well I know. (Have you noticed the donations button at the top of the website?)

Manzi

December 13th, 2004, 15:17

yes ive noticed it... i think one of your main problems is that your main site looks pretty bad just plane gray and black you need a whole site overhaul..... Find a Nice Template And Edit it and people will respect your site more i believe... if you like i could possibly do one for you...?

...and if you say youve spent alot on zhosting but you dont get paid for it and that is your daily line of work then how are you paying for it if you dont have a paying job...

Red Excalibur

December 13th, 2004, 15:24

does this site work for anyone? it keeps telling me it cant connect to it.

Manzi

December 13th, 2004, 15:29

yep same for me... he might be doing more work on it to fix the bug

Red Excalibur

December 13th, 2004, 15:37

its been like that for 3 days though....

blackarib

December 13th, 2004, 16:47

We are already working on a new site that we hope to start using sometime in the new year. If you have been unable to connect to our site for the last 3 days then there must be some sort of a problem at your end.

MarkK

December 13th, 2004, 19:07

then there must be some sort of a problem at your end.

LOL... your reply is absolutely ridiculous as dozens of people have reported the same problem..

Anyway, I've offered this guy some webspace (enough & free) on my server to make things faster for his clients but he would not accept it.

I'll stop bugging this thread now.. :bandit2:

blackarib

Thanks for the offer but as I have already said I am working on a new website from scratch.

Signups will be suspend until about the start of next week, over the weekend we will be deleting unused and duplicate accounts - if I don't think it is a functioning website it will be deleted.

canardpress

Yes, we accecpt websites of any language - as long as they are in no way offensive.

Can i use ur host for e-commerce furfose?

blackarib

December 17th, 2004, 10:43

Yes, you may.

blackarib

December 18th, 2004, 16:22

We have now deleted all empty accounts (471 - why do people create accounts and then never use them???) and signups are open again, sorry for keeping you waiting.

canardpress

December 19th, 2004, 00:54

Blackbarb, I keep getting requests on my site for hosting because your server is slow. Maybe you should try getting a connection enhancer program, or getting a faster connection. Also, I know someone that may be willing to buy you a domain in exchange for ads on your main site, (not the users sites). I really resepect what you are doing.

blackarib

December 19th, 2004, 08:21

The speed issue does not lie with our connection, it is with an unresolved problem with the server.

We have done some tests today and the server is running at fully functional speeds

blackarib

December 19th, 2004, 08:34

Good news, we are in the early stages of planning a system to allow you to set file permissions for your account - we felt this was a highly requested feature and thought it nessecary to add it.

Manzi

December 19th, 2004, 09:31

hmm seems to be a little bit faster

fr33z

December 20th, 2004, 06:17

fr33z

FTP errer !

blackarib

December 20th, 2004, 09:24

If you have just registered then it takes time for your FTP account to become activated. At this time we have no domain hosting support, though some domain registrars will let you forward the domain to your web address on our server.

blackarib

December 20th, 2004, 10:47

NOTE: we will soon be deleting accounts over their limit, apart from this message you will be given NO NOTIFICATION!

what do u mean by that,

i just register then later afetr that a day, why my account wad deleted? T_T

blackarib

December 22nd, 2004, 06:22

It means we will be deleting accounts using over their 1000mb of space. Your account could have been deleted because it was empty.

bardsmanship

blackarib

the FTP address is - ftp://z.blogdns.com - please make sure that you use the correct username and password (case sensitive).

bluxscape

the FTP address is - ftp://z.blogdns.com - please make sure that you use the correct username and password (case sensitive).
that's what it says...that the password and/or username is incorrect. but the ones i use are exactly correct. but i can log-in zpanel just fine.

blackarib

fireball540 - Yes, that account has been created.

bluxscape

blackarib

fireball540 - we have not heard of this problem before, if it continues please contact us with further details and we will try and fix it for you.

bluxscape - you are allowed to install whatever scripts you like on our servers (as long as they are not against our terms and conditions).

fireball540

Aren't .tk and .dyndns.org things free services?

".tk" domains can be "purchased" and used just like any TLD. They also have ".tk" domain names available for free, but you have to use their redirector service (no DNS).

fireball540

I'm still having trouble accessing the site

bluxscape

December 23rd, 2004, 23:00

the servers are down i think. why is it always like this? my last ftping session was interrupted. i went to sleep and when i woke up it's still the same....it's still down. zhosting may offer good hosting but the extreme downtime is turning me off. :shame: blackarib, i appreciate your dedication to the service but please fix this downtime thingy so people will like the service more. :sad2:

MarkK

December 24th, 2004, 05:06

Blackirb, what sort of script are you using to create the whm acount?
I know you are using Zpanel, but are you manually creating the rest? (since Zpanel cannot auto create acount atm.)

fireball540

December 24th, 2004, 09:55

can reach my zpanel but now i can't get in my file manger. The first i saw but I couldn't upload files so I exited out. Then i tried to re-enter and it didn't even load the page.

fireball540

December 24th, 2004, 09:58

what the ftp address for SFTP
And what the Intial Directory when it asks for it on the net2ftp screen.

blackarib

December 24th, 2004, 12:08

markk - I am using a custom made script to add the users to the zpanel and then I have to refresh another script I made for the users to be added to the FTP server.

fireball540 - Sorry, but we no longer run an SFTP server. The inital directory is simlpy `/`

fireball540

December 24th, 2004, 12:25

Now when i click on file manager it says connect find server and sometimes if i press enter nithe url box will bring me to the net2ftp page and that page goes to a cannot find server page too.

blackarib

December 24th, 2004, 17:07

Sorry, we cannot think of a reason for this.

MarkK

December 25th, 2004, 11:11

markk - I am using a custom made script to add the users to the zpanel and then I have to refresh another script I made for the users to be added to the FTP server.

Any possibility of sharing this script with me?
I would love to take a look at it, and perhaps with your permission even use it to provide the users at myfreebbs some webspace.
:-)

noobest

December 25th, 2004, 11:36

hmm when i trying to sign up, the submit button doesn't seem to work

blackarib

December 25th, 2004, 17:34

markk - this script is taylored to our system and is unlikely to work on other systems, also we would have to edit private information out of the script until it would be suitable for viewing, we also feel that this would compromise our system security.

noobest - Are you able to sign in to your account? We had a similar report recently but the account was created anyway.

tch

Hi. I joined up over a day ago and can't log in via FTP (incorrent login/pw). And I get the following error when going to the File Mangager under the ZPanel (which I can log into fine):

How long until it gets enabled? Thanks for any info you can provide.

Hi

I can login to ZPanel and have created 2 databases - checked the status of your servers (up/down) plus some other handy stuff.

But I cannot access the file manager link - user/pass incorrect.

Can I not access here due to the 24hour delay on the activation of FTP acc? (cause I can't logon through that either..)

Ps, I got the same info message as tch.. What Gives..??

blackarib

December 26th, 2004, 07:47

Sorry, it does not usually take as long as 24 hours for the FTP account to be activated but it was christmas day so no new users were added. All of the FTP accounts of users mentioned so far should be created, sorry for the delay.
