    Mad at webair

    It's time for a little public vent.

    The last days have been hell with them.

    1) I contacted them to fix a problem with a virtual include call in php. I can no longer include files with the virtual method (it was working before).
    So two days ago I must find that my tgp script is no longer working. Checked the file permissions on the server and found that someone had changed all of them for that domain. The file ownerships and groups of my tgp domains are very delicately set up. It took me over an hour to restore all the changes I made, and I still get error messages from time to time.

    2) It takes about two days before I hear back from them when I open a ticket!

    3) More annoying: it seems that almost everytime the tech support is working on the server (that is restarting the server), the times change.
    This causes a lot of trouble on my vbulletin forum.
    I asked them to enter the date permanently some weeks ago (and they said they did!), but it has happened multiple times since then.

    Is it too much for them to take a note of the time before they make configuration changes and restore it afterwards?

    It seems their support consists of only a small handful of people who know their stuff - the rest is a bunch of amateurs.

      they don't need to adjust the time manually.
      They can setup the server to sync the time from a time server
      every reboot.

              I don't think you're intelligent enough to qualify for making an accurate statement on this one. However, do go ahead and piss yourself.

                He's referring to a virtual include, not virtual plan.

                Or was he?

                                        I don't know where you heard that, but it's bullshit.

                                        Downloading from my webair server I get about 800kb/s, that's more than I get from any other sites. Not to mention my webair server is already doing around 25mbps in transfer while i'm downloading.

                                        There is online support chat 24/7 in the control panel area, it usually takes about 5 seconds to get a hold of someone via that. If it doesn't work, pick up the phone.

                                          I use a support ticket when it's minor, if I needed to get something done right away, Gerard has put up his icq for everyone to see, I have Mikes as well. The live chat systems works well, I've used it when helping webmasters set up comus.
                                          Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                          think about that

                                                Thanks boobs!

                                                It's actually quite simple with the new technologies we have employed...all any client has to do log into their proprietary webair control panel, listed there on is your personal account rep upon login click his name and you can chat with him, or even simpler escalate the ticket.

                                                Or call in 1.866.WEBAIR1
                                                Or Live person chat support 24/7 via webair.com

                                                      We've been hosting for 3+ years at Webair with 5 servers and have never had a problem, How can u have a virtual account and use a forum and who knows what else, why not move yourself up to a dedicated and have a great server with excellent support. Ive been able to get excellent support at 5am and have things fixed. we've had 100% uptime since we started with them.

                                                        I tendz to agree...

                                                        It's usually da biggest and da best that get's slack from da ignorant.

                                                        me moms use to say dat anyhow.

                                                        I gots 8+ servers wit dese guys at webair all clusterd up and humming along makin bank for over a year nows. I gots server at most other hosts too. for da service and crew support i gets at webair nothing compares.

                                                        da guys dat have da time to bitch on dis board usally aint making no money anyways. Lesson here? Less talkin mackers and put your time into some constructives. Yappers = slakkers ya biddy!

                                                        I'm not Ali A, not Ali B, Ali C, Ali D, Ali E, Ali F... but... Ali G!
