Thank you Mike of WebAir for calling it a night while my servers are still offline
It means a lot that you can say just say "email support@webair" for further help and call it a night while two of my 3 servers are currently offline.
I'm losing money and customers are complaining but as long as you can get a good nights sleep then everything is absolutely perfect! While i understand sleep is very important and everyone should get some i would be in your debt if you could find a couple of minutes to spare out of your busy day when you wake up sometime tomorrow to help me get these machines back online. They have now been down for 3 hours and i suspect they will be down until atleast tomorrow morning which will be atleast 12+ hours worth of downtime. Once again, i know your sleep is more important than helping a customer out so when you wake up in the morning please get in touch with me. |

Last I checked Mike wasnt the one who would be working on the servers at the datacenter anyways? Am I missing something. The correct people are in the right places. It sucks and if my server goes down i'll be pissed ...but coming on GFY to vent...

Seriously, contact their support. They can probably do a better job than Mike. I doubt Mike's working onsite this late anyways. Call or use their online support system.

pretty funny responses...but if and big if.... if that is what mike said ... it's a horrible response from sales guy.
the better response is "i'll call the support guys - make sure they have your contact number and they will call you as soon as it's back online and/or give you an update shortly as to what's going on with the boxes and how they are going to fix it. if you don't hear from them with in an hour - give me a call and i'll wake up and bug them" Lots of hosting companies out there ... webair is just one of them. if you need recommendations... it won't be hard to get some suggestions on this board |

Why does everyone always assume that just because they have "great" support from a company that everyone else is getting the same support. That's funny.

Mike told us to move servers within a week after we defended a friend at another major, reliable hosting company, we moved over to NatNet within 24 hours and told Mike exactly where he could shove his hosting. It was the best thing we ever did, real 24/7 support at any time of the day or night ![]() Regards, Lee |

First off, I've been with webair for YEARS and unlink you trolls and your virtual accounts i have dedicated machines totalling over 2TB worth of storage.
Second. I was getting a fast busy signal when i was trying to call their tech support. I couldnt get through. Now, while live support might be ok for you idiots who dont manage your own machines and cant figure out how to add a new virtual webserver without them holding your hands this problem was beyond anything tech telephone/live support could have handled. I know this because ive been with the for years. The only tech i trust to actually know what he is doing is sagi. And he is one of the main reasons i stay. I know if i break enough balls and my problems are being dealt with he will get on it and get shit done. Which he is. I spend a nice chunk of change with webair every month, probably 100x more than what your virtual troll users do. I expected mike to at the very least say "Let me get sagi in touch with you" and not for me to have to go out of my way and hunt him down. I surely didnt expect him to vanish for the night after telling me to email "[email protected]". Especially when he knows that my issues were beyond what those idiots could resolve. It's called taking care of your customer. Something Sagi is doing |

Honestly though, I can't see myself going to Mike (or any owner) when a server crashes for the hopes of reaching support. I'd just go to support directly. I've dealt with brian and Sagi in support and both of them are quick and competant. Never had any problems otherwise with webair.

that's BS, if your server is down, support should stay up all night to fix it. a client doesn't need to beg to have their site up

Both primary drives in both machines died. Sagi is on it. This isnt an issue telephone/web support could have resolved. The reason this happened is a whole different story but one which isnt part of this thread. |

Over two years ago, I got several great listings, and a hun listing, on a saturday night. Actually, I think it was American Thanksgiving Weekend. My server was briefly pinned, and then it crashed. I ICQ'ed Dweeks @ swiftwill.com at 12 am Pacific time. He ICQ'ed me back immediately. I told him what happened, and he ICQ'ed me back. What was odd was he was typing like "r u ok? wot wrng" and such. 30 minutes later I'm back online. He happened to be out with some people at 3 am or so Eastern time. He was typing shorthand because he was trying to type in a dark club on his cel phone. He rushed back to the office, got my box back online with more ram, and went back to his drinking and partying. From that moment forward, I knew Swiftwill.com was PIMP. Fuck yeah. |

Do you really want to play the guessing game at 1:30AM while everything you have has been offline for hours or do you want to get your shit back online? I could have emailed supported IF my email server worked but that is offline. I could have used a hotmail account but i dont remember my webair assigned username. Then there would have been more delay and wait time while we send emails back and forth to figure out who i am. where my servers are, what the problem is and how we're going to resolve it. |

I'm not interested in other ISPs so dont bother pluggin them as it wont get you far. If i am going to change hosts i will shop around and not do it in a thread as such.. its just tacky.

The real problems will start when you try to cancel your webair account. Several phone calls and 2 months later if your lucky like me

Is Mike the tech support there now? Or the boss. Surely you would want to speak to tech support and not the boss(salesman) when you have a problem with your server? Being as though they have tech support working 24hours a day you havnt been exactly left in the lurch have you?
Maybe your time would be better spent with tech support working on fixing your server than posting on GFY how a non tech person at webair has left you to deal with tech support over a tech issue ![]() |

truth is webair's main virtue is excellent connectivity at a good price.
and pretty good reliability. but i empathize with "drama". because every single time i've had a problem with my boxes i've had to notify webair tech support and tell them my boxes were down. i run servers alive monitoring software---it pings my boxes every 2 minutes, and makes my cellphone ring if pings aren't returned. stone age monitoring technology that any good host should use---and yet every single time my boxes go down i have to notify the host that they are down. if webair could improve anything, it would be in-house monitoring. |
