    If you're running a business, business continuity is your job. You should have more than one gateway provider/merchant processor.

    Did you ever notice: When you put the 2 words 'The' and 'IRS' together it spells 'Theirs.'

      JK, love Mitch, real nice guy!
      We have been working with engineers and data center for 36 hours now with no sleep. Sorry I was not in to answer your call. We have an emergency notification list and dozens of employees in the office other than myself. With nothing yet to report including an eta, there has been nothing more to report. I?m sorry if that?s not satisfactory to you.

        I switched my cascade so CCBill is my primary but 90% of my rebills come from Netbilling.

        Here's a question for you experts though: Is it possible to move my rebills to another payment processor?

        We truly appreciate your business and we have had exceptional up time in the past 20 years. We have not had a long-standing catastrophic issue since 1999. We will make sure everything is done to not allow this to happen again once things are back up. Getting everything back to normal is our number one priority right now as you can imagine. Thank you for your continued patronage.

          It's comical how one of the few solid businesses in our industry is brought to it's knees for the first time in 20 years and every fucking cunt and her warts logs in with posts hanging them out to dry yet a "bro" can fuck people over multiple times and still post here like they're family. Shameful.

          Nothing against you it's just that this situation bothers me and I feel netbilling has earned a ton of good karma points over the years in addition to them being rock solid.
          Thank you Bladewire for the kind words and confidence in us. It?s very easy for people to jump on the board and talk shit when they have no idea what?s going on. I have dedicated my life to this company and our clients and will continue to do so, unlike so many others in this industry.

            Adam - Sometimes a server reboot is required and we do not send out announcements for that which can take 5 minites. When there was an actual issue yesterday and we realized it was not coming right back up, we sent the announcement out. Are you signed up for our notification newsletters? If not, please do. If you don?t know where to do that, please shoot me an email to [email protected]

                        Looks like orbitalpay is coming back up too.

                        Good stuff.

                        I hope people didn't take to bad a hit on this. That much down time could be fatal to a small guy.

                          NETbilling Ben is running some final tests right now but yes for the most part. We will advise more shortly.

                          Thanks, Mitch

                            Very much appreciate this!

                            Will you be sending out emails, posting here, etc. when we have the green light to change join pages back?

                            Also, what's the status on rebills for these dates?
                            When is the last date that's totally OK rebill-wise? The 31st? Or did some of the 31st rebills not go through?

                            Thank you.

                              Also expired username purges for the last two days. Will this be done for us or do we need to manually initiate it somehow in the admin?

                              Thanks again.

                                Rebills are processed in batches, every couple of hours. It will be a bit messy if one doesn't keep their own records and solely rely on their backend.

                                  While this may be true, it's their responsibility to ensure rebills are carried out when they should be. That's why we use billing processors.

                                        So many like myself have survived IBill losing everything, and then a multitude of hosts that have gone down for 24 hours or longer.

                                        This downtime has got to hurt for so many but this has been a once in 20 years occurrence with Netbilling. That says a lot about them.

                                                    Also, what's the status on rebills for these dates?
                                                    When is the last date that's totally OK rebill-wise? The 31st? Or did some of the 31st rebills not go through?

                                                    Thank you.
                                                    Any/all rebills that were scheduled for a time during the outage were queued up and will be run automatically (if they haven't already) as the gateway sees them as past due. If approved, the memberships will be updated accordingly.

                                                    This particular process, which we refer to as the daily- or nightly-refresh, does only occur once per day for each sitetag. So the next occurrence will be at the regularly-scheduled time, but if you'd like to manually run the refresh before then, you can do so in the admin by going "Site Tools" -> "Site Tags" -> click "config" for the sitetag, then click the 'refresh members' link on the top right of the page, and submit.

                                                          It's comical how one of the few solid businesses in our industry is brought to it's knees for the first time in 20 years and every fucking cunt and her warts logs in with posts hanging them out to dry yet a "bro" can fuck people over multiple times and still post here like they're family. Shameful.

                                                          Nothing against you it's just that this situation bothers me and I feel netbilling has earned a ton of good karma points over the years in addition to them being rock solid.
                                                          I could be wrong, but I took his post at taking a shot at site owners who don't have a backup plan for their gateway.

                                                            I think what happened with Netbilling is a wake-up call for all of us to reevaluate our own site backup, gateway backup & redundancy strategy

                                                              The question is, are we going to be reimbursed for the losses?

                                                              It seems that a billing setup of such scale should have it's own backups and redundancy plans.

                                                                It seems that a billing setup of such scale should have it's own backups and redundancy plans.
                                                                Business continuity is your responsibility, there should be no reimbursement. Read section V, paragraph 1 of your NetBilling TOS.
