Webair, joke of the year - GoFuckYourself.com

verydirtyoldman · 01-26-2004, 09:37 AM

About a month ago I signed up with webair to promote a new site.
They had just been named webhostingcompany of the year so I expected some quality here. I geuss not. Webair has been nothing but trouble for me so far.
In my first week I could not get my website in the air. After a lot of discussions with their technival staff (are you sure you made an indexpage???) they came to the conclusion that because of a human error their was a wrong ip number attached. Some more days and nothing changed so again they changed the ip number. Geuss it was a second human error. Ok..thing went well for a week and then I started seeing 404 errors when visiting my page...and so did the tgp's visiting my galleries. Now I am getting irritated. Called it the helpdesk. First they claimed everything was looking allright for them. I kept protesting but they could not finf any problem. I tried by mail and they kept telling me that the problem was solved. It was not offcourse. Now I just visited my website and I see a page that is not mine at all but somebody else's....looks like my website has been hijacked???

You sir are a liar. There is ZERO way that could happen. Webair have PHONED me at home in England when I didn't reply back to an email they sent to see if everything way ok so I don't believe you for a second.

Your first post being a bash on a company means you have no credibility.

Webair are quality guys.

Have you contacted Mike on ICQ?

Really strange to read something like this. I have a server with webair. 274 days of uptime, and 274 days of no problems at all.

What would your other host do? Stop taking your money and cancel your account? This is business, you can have as many hosts as you like.

webair · 01-26-2004, 09:47 AM

smells fishy to me

feel free to contact me if your account is legit and this complaint holds any water i'll give you a years hosting free of charge

DrtySweeet · 01-26-2004, 09:48 AM

Yes I did try to reach him. Three times on three seperate times. The first two times he did not respond. Today he responded like three messages and then I stopped hearing from him.
I know Mike has solved a lot of problems like this so that is why I contacted him. I was not able to get some action into my problem so I resorted to this measure. Posting it on a board.

i've had a bad experience with webairs tech support :/

GirlNinja · 01-26-2004, 10:19 AM

I know this guy, he's not lying and he's certainly not a moron..

Nasty · 01-26-2004, 10:20 AM

Been with webair for a year, always been top notch, always received excellent tech support, they have always gone the extra mile as far as Im concerned

Platinumpimp · 01-26-2004, 10:27 AM

I am hosting with webair for about 2 months now, and they are absolutely reliable. Never had any rpoblems with them.

Really? Someone has a minor problem with a new company and goes straight to GFY attempting to discredit that company. What do you call that person. A good businessman?

kmanrox · 01-26-2004, 10:53 AM

hehe alteregos of the competition are funny

they don't know how to be slick about it... anyone with alteregos who needs consultation on how to fuck up a company, icq me, i charge $250 / hour...

webair rocks....

FreeHugeMovies · 01-26-2004, 11:01 AM

I have been hosted at webair since the LikeWhoa nightmare. They have been nothing but excellent.

2 months, wow, that is certainly a long time.

Indy the real one · 01-26-2004, 05:28 PM

Hosted at webair for foUr years.
They even called me in Europe to be sure a technical issue was solved.

This story smells strange to me....

jimthefiend · 01-26-2004, 05:30 PM

utter fucking horseshit

Phoenix · 01-26-2004, 05:32 PM

I don't host with them, but i've seen only good things said about them in the past. Perhaps they will be able to figure out what happened and straighten it out.

I read his first post twice (second time because I was more stunned than anything with his intelligence) and you sure he isn't a moron? Some people just type quick and that is why there posts don't come across well....the first post just liked he was an idiot.

tony286 · 01-26-2004, 05:55 PM

I would say one of the continuing facts of our growth has been WebAir and Mike.

webairs attitude about support is the only reason im in business. i couldnt do it otherwise. i can fucking icq or call mike for anything i need, no matter how trivial and its done FAST.

this idiot is a joke.

AliSin · 01-26-2004, 06:04 PM

Problem is now solved.

People should check who they are talking to on ICQ before giving out all kindsa info like domain names and ftp usernames / passwords ;)

Anybody want some free hosting @ webair?

MrIzzz · 01-26-2004, 06:10 PM

its funny how theres sooooooo many hosting companies out there that no one defends. here you see everyone defending webair.

this is just proof of how great webair is. they are topnotch

Sinicle77 · 01-26-2004, 07:01 PM

we have dealt with mike and sagi for about 4 years now.. we have of course tried others b4 webair.. we were not impressed. mike and sagi and the whole crew will pretty much stand on their heads to help someone...
i remember once or twice talking to mike while he was in vegas...and he actually had to leave the tables.. and goto his room to help me.. he did it.. middle of the night.. never complained.. never gave me any shit at all.. well ok.. the usual mike shit lol but if ya know mike.. u kinda look forward to that part lol

good job mike... its been my pleasure to host with you!

no host is perfect, and humans do make mistakes and hardware does fuckup.

but, webair is about the best overall in my experience.

Webair are honest players and long enough in the bizz so they don't need to listen anything from someone who is "probably spamming"...
