Hostive, WTF is going on there ? - GoFuckYourself.com

Realpascal · 08-19-2005, 08:12 AM

I'v been trying to contact Bryan from Hostive for 3 days. ICQ, email, support ticket, telephone... Nothing. Both the website and support centre are down.
We've ordered a dedicated server there..

Anybody here knows how to contact him, or nows him at all ??

IceMaster · 08-19-2005, 08:23 AM

My site is down. Mysql problems. And their hosting site hostive.com is having the same problems. I sent them an email, i am still waiting for the answer.

No, not cheap asses. I just refuse to pay $250 a month for a server that costs $1000 to buy. It's that simple..

I don't earn my fuckin' money to give it away..

I would send your business to www.Techiemedia.com I have been with them for years. Never anything major and they take good care of you

I assure you this your gonna get a much nicer server there then a server that costs $1000

if you dont want to lease it buy it outright and just pay rack space

simple as that!
www.techiemedia.com all the way!

Tanker · 08-19-2005, 08:44 AM

ohh and see what happens when you pay them less then it cost for them to support your server they dont show up to help you

www.techiemedia.com has somthing like 15 full time techs now I get answers in minutes and I use thier tech support alot I am not technical at all!

SplitInfinity · 08-19-2005, 10:01 AM

Bryan was on a trip last I heard and was supposed to return a few days ago.
I hope the guy is alright. Something must have happened bad for him to not
return calls and stuff... I hope the kid isnt in a ditch somewhere.... He is always
and I mean always online talking to me and others, so this is VERY odd...

Here is the info I know of for him:

Email: [email protected]
Phone: +1.3039155760

Hope that helps.

AdultMegaCash · 08-19-2005, 07:54 PM

With every host you are going to have good and bad times. Trust me we've had them like everyone else. Like Spiltinfinity said Hostive (Bryan) is a great stand up guy who has gone way far out of his way to make sure we are taken care of. I am sure he will have a simple explanation as to why there were some issues. With every host you will have good and bad times. Before you go and bash the guy find out his reasons, and then if he just did not take care of it, then bash away.

simple simon · 08-19-2005, 07:57 PM

Do me a favor go and do a search on Techie Media down and you will find tons of threads with downtime problems. I remember them having over 72 hours down a couple years ago, and many other outages. I am in no way bashing them, I actually like them and they are a great group of people, but they've had their issues, I just did a seach and found at least 15 threads asking why they were down.

Same for isprime, natnet, jupiter and others. No one is perfect.

I totally agree with you. Also if you host with a 1 or 2 man operation you are just asking for trouble....stick with the established hosts and you will be better off in the long (and short) run..

I've been with www.techiemedia.com for like a year now, and I'm more than happy with them in all aspects, price, customer and tech support...man they treat me very well mate.

chaze · 08-19-2005, 10:49 PM

Even the best hard drives fail, the question is if you have backups how often and if they are on another server.

Also I think it's important if the hosting company is there to restore the back ups quickly for you.

As far as networks if you use Verio or Cogent then you just have to deal with downtime plain and simple.

Anyone that says they have 100% uptime is lying, if you have hundreds of servers a hard drive is going to crash and you will need time to restore the backups. Oh and for raid? It messes up more then hard drives crash.

Mission critical is having a staff 24 7 just to restore backups and optimize the servers. They have this for the CA Police database I know one of the head techs there. Raid is outdated, there are better ways to sinc the back ups now without the method itself causing so many problems. In fact they went down one for a alomst a week when raid currupted down to all 5 levels of backups.

He told me the story about how cops couldn't use there computers for the whole time.

Don;t mean to sound like a know it all this is just what I have done everyday for years now. And LOVE IT

Horny Dude · 08-19-2005, 11:34 PM

I used hot with Hostive.com for mainly freesites and never really had any big troubles. But when I went to add some MYSQL scripts they would not work at all, Mike was cool and tried to help out but I was just tried of having to get them to fix them every week. So I moved to a new host.

We have nothing to hide, in fact we will tell every single issue we have ever had to anyone that wants to know.

Just yesterday someone asked over the phone how was your uptime?

I said we have had 100% network uptime this year, true

We have had two hard drive crashes this year, true

Both hard drive crashes where restored from back ups within 20 hours or less, true

I also mentioned we have about 300 servers and about 20,000 domains, true

So if you think one websites and probably a lie is the sum of DWHS you are foolish.

And for your attitude, fuck you.

There is not need to be asshole to me for saying you do not need mutiple hosts.

After all, does the CA police have several data centers? no, but they do back up out of the main data center.

Just like I said, so once again asshole

All I ask is to quite talking shit, just because you have some out of your bedroom hosting company or your freind does.

That does not mean be a fuckin asshole to other hosting companys that work their ass off to pay peoples saleries year after year.

So first off your spamming a thread that has nothing to do with you , then you lie and say you have had 100% uptime..

Perhaps the part you didn't get was . I know some of your previous clients and they all had plenty of downtime THIS YEAR shit for brains...

You could have shut the fuck up and kept some composure but instead you choose to talk shit and now you can reap the benefits of shit talking..

SMOKEY HEREBY ADVISES ANYONE THINKING OF A HOSTING COMPANY TO NOT CHOOSE DWHS , THEY SUCK THEIR REP IS A LIAR AND A SHIT-TALKER. DO NOT HOST WITH DWHS EVER EVER EVER... WORST MISTAKE YOUR ADULT BUSINESS COULD EVER DO
