Considering all the shit that virtual accounts get for next to nothing, would you bother mirroring them?

I couldn't say it better myself.
I don't mind paying $1 or so an IP. I don't mind paying even a few dollars for bandwidth, but other hosts just don't offer what they do - find someone else that offers 100 unique IPs for free, FREE cusomt name servers, SQL, SSI on html pages, and fast 24 hour support.

Unfortunately - they are down too often. Here is the closest match I have found for what I thik is reasonable. greenguy uses them:

The say on the front page you can get extra IPs for $1.00 a month, but when I try to place an order it says $5.00 and they MUST BE PLACED AT THE TIME YOU ORDER. What is the deal with that? Anyway, I am starting to lose track of the hosts I am going through. I see the spam on here all the time, but almost no one addresses the specifics.

I was told by another host (that is mentioned on here all the time) that I could have all the unique IPS I wanted. I added a dozen or so sites with them and told a friend about them He said they told him he couldn't have unique IPs. I looked at the website and it had been changed - no more unique IPs - and worse yet - found that most of my sites were not on unique IPS - even though I was promised the would be. The then became so poor at figuring every thing out - that he had to drop them. I still have some sites there - as the have good uptime and good prices.

Stick with the old reliable hosts, back in 1997/1998 there weren't as many hosts as now.

Everyone is opening their own hosts these days, I am not suprised this causes problems.

And no, I am not going to mention any reliable hosts ;-)

PROHOSTERS GO FUCK YOURSELF!

They have destroyed all my traffic trades... bastards!:boid

Hello Wiredoctor, I have been up tonight on the message boards and I am offering help to people that ask for it. I did go and reply to all the threads with hosting questions or concerns, because that is what interests me. And I am definately not here to bash any companies or SPAM.

I just happened to be up late on a Saturday night and saw a few people are having problems with their hosting company. Some of them even asking for help or where to go. So I gave my advice. We offer great prices, we are reliable, we will help people move files from one account to another, we provide 24 hour customer support. If anyone needs help, send me an email: [email protected]

Here is the answer to yoru question:
Our providers are Level 3 and Cogent. We are on a multiple Gig-E backbone. Almost all of our traffic goes through Cogent and we use Level 3 as the backup. We host a lot of the freehosts out there on our backbone.

Pimpshost,

So Cogent bandwidth is good?

We use UUNET, MCI WORLDCOM and IBM-NET ourselves and are very happy with them.

There is a big price difference between Cogent and others, there should be a reason for that?

The thread 'Hosting that meets my requirements'
May have been a good opening for you to spam your host.

But this tread is about the status/details of a host that is down.
Not people asking for a new host.


Yes you are.(see above)


Not on this thread.


Again...nobody asked for it here.



There it is again!

Looks like it! Smells like it! Taste like it!
Its Spam!

Well, I am on a virtual plan so I don't have my own server and it isn't a huge account either.

Just as theWatsonian said, I used prohosters for a bum load of free and AVS sites. I never used it for the TGP stuff I do..I used Oscer's host for that and never had any complaints. So, I don't use a huge amount of bandwith with them. I guess I am at about 20-30gb on that host. In addtion I use them because I have a lot of domains..both for adult and non adult projects and it is invaluable that I can just tell them to add a domain and they do and there isn't a charge.

See, until recently Prohosters were very reliable. Then they started having trouble a few months ago when they had that big outage. I mean, their own site is down so I doubt they are sitting around with their thumbs up their bums doing nothing. Also, in the past when I have needed help them have been right there to help me.

Yes, I am worried about my traffic. I am worried about the status of my AVS sites. If they get removed from the AVS systems I really dread having to go through and check to see if they are still there. Not to mention the Freenetpass premium sites that took ages to build and I had just started promoting.

I have been looking at some other hosts but I am going to give them until monday to be back up and to tell us what they are going to do to #1 make sure this doesn't happen again and #2 compensate. Especially as I just paid my bill.

If your such a good quality standup host..why change the name of your company?

Yeah I am pretty small and only use there smallest account.

I think the biggest pull of prohosters for me was the free ip/domains.

The other hosting company I use charges $10 a month per ip :o(

So prohosters seemed like a logical choice for starting new domains.

But it has really turned sour here lately.

Prohosters is back up again, but read only. No word yet on data loss.

Cool! At least the sites can be accesed now.

no, no ftp access to remote files. not yet.

Yeah... What I was trying to say was that surfers and spiders can get to it now. :)

Now I need to go change some links back. :(

During the transfer to the new array a lot of files got corrupted, the cgi still do not work and the php is all messed up...
frankly that's unacceptable... shit.

I still can't update files. A couple of my sites are missing the damn index page and htaccess is not working.
:mad:

Asking support to a Prohosters tech (Dan), after a whole day waiting:

desktop>> any news?
Dan>> i do not have access to help you
Dan>> sorry
desktop>> uh?
desktop>> what does it mean?
desktop>> hey I have been waiting here for houtrs
desktop>> hours
Dan>> I do not work here anymore
desktop>> is it a joke?

:feels-hot

Was it a joke?

Mumble grumble....


:waaaaahh

They just sent me an email saying that they are not responsible for any lost data.

:ticking

I have just discovered that they don't have any backup.. cool!

:ak47: Prohosters

What did you expect for 15 bucks a month?
:helpme

:feels-hot
or
:waaaaahh


I'm confused.

:helpme

I pay more than 100$ a month... sometimes much more, it depends on b/w

:ugone2far

and yes, I was on water... my fault...

I'm sorry. Too bad no other host will match PH's deal.

basically they don't give a fuck about their customers, I have seen techs banning customers from their irc channel for asking support, incredible...
