- HEADS UP! MoneyBookers steals money!
Hello,My MoneyBookers account suspended and I was asked to send them identity documents. I had sent the docs when I was creating the account, so they know who I am so why requesting docs again? I believe if I send docs now and they unlock my account now, then will lock it again after sometimes and ask me to send docs again and again which is very annoying.I believe this is their trick to steal money from users with the name of security. MoneyBookers is no longer well-managed nor trusted. just heads up.Thanks, - R1Soft CDP backup services resellers?
Does someone know any other company besides fxhbackup and bqinternet that sells backup services based on R1Soft CDP?My current solution is constantly giving broken pipe lines error. I was told this is because of overloaded backup servers. I did had my own CDP server running on the same DC and it worked like a charm, but currently my provider says it will not support it anymore and its terrible slow on his CDP server, besides it breaks backup.Can someone point me one a CDP solution that works?Has someone had experience with Acronis True Echo Server Enterprise? - Ourinternet.us
I just wanted to say how pleased I am with the service I received from ourinternet.us. I bought a package with http://ourinternet.us last week, and set everything up, but due to an unforeseen event, I needed a refund temporarily to pay for something. Their technical support has been great in the short time I've been using them, and they were happy to refund what I paid.People are always quick to criticize but i wanted to take the time to say cheers. - No 1 Fraud company Hostingspace4u.net
Hi, My name is Justine luka and i am running a website. Mr Hostingspace4u.net Admin is saying so many big things. Buti am facing so many troubles from Hostingspace4u.net and Hostingspace4u.net made my life hell. First of all they took money from me for couple of years that is 125 dollers for Master Reseller, I had too many problems when i started. When ever i contacted their customer service they had no proper answers for the down time and slowness of the site. I was fed up and then i asked for my money back. When i asked for my money back they sent me an email that we have worked on your site and its working fine now and we will make sure that it never happenes in future. Now they passed the month time without any problem, After one month when money back period passed they have started their game again. My site is socialnetworking site where user submits their favorite stories. Now what these clever guys have done is they blocked my submit.php file so no body can submit anything. When i contacted thier customer service they have no answer and nothey had no intrest in my problem because they had already taken money from me. They encouraged me for abusive languge and deleted everything from the server. Now they are not intrested in any thing. You can imagine the site which youworked hard day and night.. they deleted every thing without problem. Never go to Hostingspace4u.net they are the biggest cheaters on the web, hes the biggest fraud and Con Man. Ifyou want to ruin your life then go to Hostingspace4u.net becuase they will delete your site anytime. I have moved to yahoo smallbusiness hosting which is best on the web. I am writing this because people can understand and can stay away from these cheaters.Justine luka - Host for video site?
I'm a university designer trying to find hosting for a video textbook. I have about 330MB of videos framed in a single swf/html/js page.Our course is about 300 students, and we'd expect the site to be largely dormant except for traffic spikes right before exams, when everyone will want to access the material.We know nothing about linux images or server maintenance or anything required to use an unmanaged VPS. I'm mostly just concerned about having enough bandwidth not to upset ToS, but I'm unsure of what this actually translates to. Any hosting advice would be extremely appreciated, from specs we should look for to specific hosts. We're lost fishies! - Think its time for a new host
I'm about to come completely frustrated with asmallorange as of late. I've been on 3 different servers and I'm experiencing the same problems: high load averages causing the server to stop responding. This occurs on a almost daily basis and knocks service out for 20 minutes to a hour.Coupled with other problems (My server has been without php for the past 2.5 hours even though I've had a ticket open for the entire time) I think it's time to pull the plug. It's a shame too as I've been with the company for nearly 3 years now.What I need: 1Gig of space and at least 10GB of transfer a month. My site doesn't receive that much traffic: Mainly 300 visits a day with at max 20 visits at a time on my forum.US hosting is a must as well as cpanel.Any suggestions? I want to keep the fees under $15/month. I'm looking for reliability. - Attention: Fake hosting Money Swindlers August 2008

Good day,I never thought that I will be doing hosting research once again, but I guess I have no choice.I will provide with a short review about IXwebhosing.com and why I decided to look for new host as I think it's describes the best my hosting needs:I'm currently running 2 hosting plans with IXwebhosting for the - windows and unix plans.* Hosting 16 sites* 20 SQL DBs* Around the 100 e-mail account activated* Using around the 4GB web space* And the average monthly traffic is 8 GB*******I'll start with the good:* The price, as some people will say this should be listed in the "bad" list, as you pay for what you get.* Unlimited domains (16 dedicated IP each plan)* Unlimited traffic* 5000 e-mail accounts* 100 SQL DB* 100 ftp accountsThough it is much more than what I seek, it still very impressive for you are paying for.* The control panel has many options and very easy to use, I don't remember using a tool that I didn't have there.********But, and there are always buts:The bad:* I'll start with the thing that troubled me the most - SQL SERVER - all my SQL db are located in the same shared(with other IX clients) SQL server, due to the bad performance of the server, I'm getting DB connection errors around 5-10 times a day(while editing or just visiting a site).I'm not using a any complicated SQL apps, just the regular web management tools out there.* support, 24/7 live chat - well that is true, but the problem is that 90% of their representative that helped me out, (and unfortunately I think I met them all), don't really have good knowledge or permissions, and they just "helps" you out in opening support tickets.* server down - never, BUT, had many times that the server was slow.I'm using IXwebhosting as my host for the last 3 years, and believe me that if I had a choice I would do anything to avoid the transferring of 16 sites, but, when the DB is down, the site is down, and it happens to often lately.So what I'm looking for ?as I mentioned before and adding some "spares" my current need is:* windows and unix plans.* 20 sites (domains)* 30 SQL DBs hosted on a strong and fast SQL server* Around the 150 e-mail account* Around the 8GB web space* And the average monthly traffic of 15 GB* good supportwilling to pay between 10-20 USD (monthly)All suggestion will be very appreciated !Thanks in advance,Jamguy - Where can i find the best Webhosting
haay,i am searching for a great webhosting where i can pay with bank transfer..thank you for helping me..i dont want servage.net..but something else..Thanks - I need a high bandwidth host.... i think... what do you suggest?
Hello all,I have a client who has came to me for advice on his web site. I own a dedicated server and manage it using PLESK. I do pretty well managing it but I'm definitely not an expert on hosting by any means. So I need your help.He is starting a new web site and he is going to do radio advertising on a lot of stations and expects to get a lot of hits. The web site seems to be pretty small with only a few pages of text and minimal pictures, so I don't think it will use that much just by the site being so small.But anyway, I want him and me to feel comfortable that the site is not going to go down no matter how many hits he gets. How do I guesstimate this?What are some good hosting companies that offer high bandwidth and protect you from overage charges -- or at least charge little for overages. I'm looking to spend less than $80/month. Also, do you have any idea: How many users will 10GB bandwidth cover if it's only a 5 page site with one picture on each page and 5 paragraphs of text just to get an idea.Thanks! - Unexpected site redirection
Hope someone can help. My site prime357 . org is being unexpectedly, from time to time, re-directed to my host's site DrupalValueHosting . com.It has now been a few weeks and this problem still remains. I have not set up any purpose re-direction to my host site. My .htaccess file has no reference to my host site.My host, the other day, suggested that I change my site, temporarily, to prime357 . net, whilst he (the host) works on the problem as to why prime357 . org is directing to the host site.Re-direction to my host site is still occurring.I established that a few hours ago that someone did a whois on prime357 . org hours earlier and the IP resolved to 67.228.128.242 (which is my host's site). I did the same lookup and the IP resolved to 67.228.230.119 (which seemingly, is correct, is my site).This problem is an intermittent problem and is happening to other customers of DVH.I can't physically check or make adjustments (at least I think I can't). What solutions or what process would one go through to track down this type of problem. Is this a common mis-configuration type problem though I haven't come across it before.Any suggestions appreciated. - adding new account to CPanel
Dear Friends,whenever I open a new account in Cpanel it assigns a new IP to the new host. I want to know how I can change the cpanel settings to assigns a shared IP to the new host.thanks - when should hosting begin?
My web designer is designing my website.It's been months with little updates here and there, so I think he may be new at my type of design but he's doing a great job. My contract doesn't quite say when hosting begins, but I wanted to ask here first to see how others are doing it.Does web hosting usually begin 'after' the website is completed? or 'before'? I don't want to be charged the monthly hosting fee while my site's still being worked on. Thanks. - Any 1 Know Any Free Shoutcast Servers?
