WEBAIR - Are these guys for real? HAHAHAHAH
Are these guys for real? This is something I should've been told BEFORE I signed up and transfered my domains over to their servers.

I seriously hope this is a joke.
I tar/gziped my sites from my previous host and FTP into webair. I can't uncompress my web content without SSH! Are these guys retarded? |

You can scan it, and send it in, takes 15 mins for them to activate it. That's less time than its gonna take you to bitch them out
Or you can ask tech support to untar it? is it virtual or dedicated acct btw? Edit: I wouldn't even start bitching if its a virtual account. If I were them, I wouldn't want to give SSH access to just anyone either. |

it is a pain in the arse, but if its a vitual account i can understand where they are coming from, someone could easily fuck up a whole server and they would want to know exactly who it is

I don't see what the fuss is about?
You're on a virtual account right? It's quite normal for hosting companies to ask for faxes like this. Would you like some numbfuck to fuck around on the same server you are one, and screw up without them knowing who it is? Because that would mean your site would be fucked for some time. Works both ways. |

Sounds more than reasonable to me.
Seriously, any host that gives out SSH access to their boxes without clamped down security is fucking nuts. Be happy that they DO ask you for it. |

This is the first time I've ever run into something like this. And I would've appreciated them telling me about SSH verifcation either BEFORE or AFTER in the signup confirmation email. I would've made proper plans before moving my sites over if I wasn't going to have a certain degree of control. |

I thought it was pretty damn weird when they asked me... But it is a shared box and someone with shell access could do a lot of damage if they wanted.
I just took a pic of my license and visa with my digital camera and emailed it over. Shrug. |

Webair is a great host They aren't trying to make you "go out of your way" they aren't trying to "give you a hard time" they simply are trying to follow guidelines Faxing something is very easy... The time spent in this thread, could have been spent driving to Kinko's or Blockbuster Video and using their fax machine... just my million cents

What's the big deal with ssh access? When it's properly configurerd you can't even run "dir/ls" command in sections that doesn't belong you....

Steve was kind enough to at least get my sites live by ungzip/untar my content until I get SSH access squared away in the morning.

But even if it wasn't an ongoing problem: why make it possible in the first place? I mean...why does a dog lick it's balls? Just because it CAN. So there's always fuckers that'll fuck around just because they CAN. Sad but true. But you got the point already  |

Not really a big deal unless you're trying to hide your true identity.
Just because they have your credit card and billing info doesn't mean anything. You could have faked that, stolen it, whatever, the same way scammers generate signups to sponsors with fake/stolen card numbers. If that was the case then whoopie, they'd be out one month's hosting bill, no biggie. But I can understand them wanting verification of who you are before you get shell access to a server that you have a virtual account on. On another note, WTF are you doing with a virtual account anyways? Servers are cheap, get your own and then you can do whatever the fuck you want with the box, AND you don't have to worry about some other knucklehead with shell access fucking up your sites.
