There will always be haters in the world....you just keep doing what you have been doing and your customers will continue to love you.

    I am sure that your crew will get the other company's shit straightened out soon and have then back up and running in no time.

    GREAT response Tony

      The previous owner and network admin are on site and reporting everything resolved, finally. Clients will be updated further, directly. Given time and opportunity, we will more than make this up to HostHead clientele and build tremendous goodwill for the future.

        Man, come on. They purchased the damn operation. Unless there are some provisions in the acquisition I don't know about Mojo is 100% responsible and at fault. Hosthead is no more, Mojo is. Customers don't give a damn. They want uptime and support. Expect pissed customers when nada is happening.

              The data center is hundreds of miles away from the email support guys according to Brad, so the two things are absolutely unrelated.

              For sure. People promised 99.9% uptime tend to get irate when the downtime extends into hours with no known end.

              Hopefully the future will be more positive.

                    This always happens after someone wins an Xbiz award, kinda like an athlete getting the Sports Illustrated cover and then getting a bad injury.

                              I used to host with Hosthead. Really, really liked the guy that ran it. However, one of his techs made a mistake that cost me money, and though the owner made several good faith offers to make up for the mistake, I was not comfortable there any longer.

                              I get the OP's perspective. No one likes downtime, and for it to happen in the middle of a transition period, with a payment just made, and no ticket response would make me freak too.

                              It sounds like a perfect storm of bad events for until-now Hosthead customers. While there are damned few things in this business that I do not directly control that I would guarantee, I guarantee that if Brad Mitchell had the ability to contact Hosthead customers via email that he would be doing so.

                              Take it from someone who used to host at Hosthead, and now is with Mojohost...you will not be disappointed with the end result.

                                Dear HostHead Customers-

                                Starting late this afternoon, HostHead experienced a network outage in it's Wisconsin data center. We have been working with the previous owner at resolution since the onset of this critical situation and are expecting resolution very soon.

                                We have a significant investment and interest in the satisfaction of every HostHead customer. While today is a bad day for HostHead clients, it is precisely a reminder about why the acquisition of HostHead by MojoHost is ultimately going to pay dividents to HostHead clients. Today's outage is not a result of any errors or omissions on our part, rather, a result of the limitations that have always been present within HostHead (limited staff, inappropriate infrastructure) which we have inherited. We are working diligently on a scheduled timeline to move servers and clients from the Wisconsin datacenter to MojoHost. The critical issue tonight, however, is getting it back online altogether.

                                To answer lauralace's initial question, nobody is "being scammed". We have owned HostHead for more than a month and been providing support for nearly two. With regard to the billing, the descriptor would have historically read 'North Tone' then 'MojoHost' and this month 'HostHead'. With all of HostHead's network down, this prevents us from sending out client emails from their information systems, which, at this time, are wholly separate still from MojoHost until the transition is complete.

                                I will update this thread when we have secured a resolution.


                                Sincerely,

                                Brad Mitchell

                                Yup, blame a no-longer-existent entity to cover your ass. The quote "I never said it was your fault, I said I was going to blame you" comes to mind. A significant outage like this wouldn't have gone this long without communication had HH still been it's own entity. The ball was entirely dropped by Mojo.


                                How does not having access to the HostHead customer database (a valid reason for no mass-email) permit you to ignore tickets sent through the Mojo support channels? If MojoHost customers continued to receive quick support while the HostHead customers were ignored when they contacted the same Mojo support... then that is a sure sign of what you think of HostHead customers.
