Webair down for anyone else? - GoFuckYourself.com

pocketkangaroo · 08-30-2006, 05:21 PM

Not that it's breaking news or anything, but anyone else having issues with sites on Webair?

BoyAlley · 08-30-2006, 05:29 PM

My stuff with them is still up and running, as is their domain.

FetishTom · 08-30-2006, 05:40 PM

Down - usually happens 3 to 4 times a week so business as usual!

Timbo · 08-30-2006, 06:10 PM

We're up

FreeHugeMovies · 08-30-2006, 06:11 PM

I'm up =]

Hunter_ST · 08-30-2006, 06:12 PM

They're up...

Boobzooka · 08-30-2006, 06:20 PM

No problems here.

squishypimp · 08-30-2006, 06:20 PM

up for me dawg

Basic_man · 08-30-2006, 06:21 PM

Up here. You should buy a high speed connection :P

OG LennyT · 08-30-2006, 06:24 PM

I have a virtual account that just had some downtime..... last night, sql8.webair.com was down..

I had adult sites with them for years with no probs but now I run a mainstream site off a virtual acct and its shit so far... whats up with that?

I still love webair, just venting a little.

bknoob · 08-30-2006, 06:28 PM

virtual private servers are the worst to manage from a host's perspective. They always cause little problems here and there. Sure the profit margins are higher than a regular shared hosting account but the issues that come with it are not worthy imo. Hosts should stick to plain shared accounts and dedicated servers

If you have a vps with them, maybe you should think about upgrading it to a dedicated instead.

free4porn · 08-30-2006, 06:31 PM

guess no place is 100% up!

I have a dedicated server and virtual accounts. From a business stand point, it doesnt make sense to start a website on a full blown dedicated account.

Maybe hosts just need to get with the program, as I have had virtual accts with Webair in the past that rarely had downtime.

Almost all my new sites start on virtual accounts. I also have a lot of blogs and such that I don't care to host on a dedicated or VPS. Once a site gets big enough that it brings in enough money that I can't afford downtime, I move to a more stable host.

It's so obvious from the wording of this first post that you have an ulterior motive.

If you think webair is that bad then just move to another host and quit your bitching.
Of course if you did that it would defeat your real purpose here wouldn't it?

8 sites hosted on a dedicated server with webair.

All my images are broken !

It has been like this for 3 hours now

But I have to say that this is the major problem happenning since 4 years...
They are usually top nutch

yeah his motive is just to let othesr know what a bad host webair is, is it true his site is down? yes.. is it true alot of people think webair sucks? yes! is it in bad faith to let newbies know this is the worth hosting company? NO! whenever ppl's sites are down and complain here you think they're makin things up and yeah im a former customer webair just sucks .

GrouchyAdmin · 08-30-2006, 08:05 PM

Not anymore.

OG LennyT · 08-30-2006, 08:10 PM

You want to know why hosts should get their acts together with virtual accts?

You never know when that virtual could turn into a full blown cluster of servers.

I know if my host doesnt care about my virtual because 'I'm not spending enough' than guess where I upgrade my shit down the road?

something to think about

I have no ulterior motive. I was asking if anyone else was down on Webair or if it was just me. It seemed they had a problem with sql8 database and I didn't know if it was an error on my end or global.

I like Webair for the most part. They are affordable, have great customer service, and for the most part are up. I'd recommend them to people who want to throw a lot of smaller sites on a shared host.

That is not my motive at all. I was getting weird database errors and such that I had never seen before. Then sites loaded real slow, then not at all. I was just asking if this problem was a major one. The problem was fixed and that's it. They have great customer support which is more than a lot of hosting companies can say.

You know that webair has support tickets, support email addys, live chat, techs on ICQ, and a toll free number you can call to speak with a tech right?

So if your site is down why aren't you availing yourself of all of those tools webair has given you instead of trying to make them look bad on a message board?

Ulterior motive? Yep

UniversalPass Pete · 08-30-2006, 10:05 PM

I've only used their live chat and wasn't getting anyone at the time. As I stated, it wasn't a big deal, and simply a thread to see if anyone else having problems too. My programmer was having trouble and I wasn't sure if it was an issue with a script he installed or not. I was not aware of the secret handshake oath of not letting anyone know that your hosting is down.

Although I haven't had the best uptime with Webair, they have always had kickass support and have ironed out issues I had in a timely manner.

My motive was to find out if anyone was having weird problems too. I would argue that those with ulterior motives are those that are paid by a company to promote them.

my sites are currently online like always

baddog · 08-31-2006, 01:11 AM

I would be willing to bet that they have more than one server so it is possible one might have a problem while others are fine. You should probably be talking to them.

DateDoc · 08-31-2006, 01:11 AM

where is webair responding to this? are they all sleeping well? no 24/7 monitoring of boards? b o a r d t r a c k e r would perhaps help them!

And for the record, I would much rather someone called and woke me up than post it on a board, hoping I see it.

Agreed but i guess no one called or sent them the thread. Lots of webair props in here but no one sent them the thread/telephoned them?????

GrouchyAdmin · 08-31-2006, 01:28 AM

When I was a webair customer, I'd call them to let them know on nearly a thrice-a-week endevour. "It's down again. Yes. It's still completely oversold and crashed again. No. Get it back up so I can wait 30 seconds for a file, if possible. Yes. No, it's not working. I don't care if it's pinging. Hit a web page. Yes, I know it's not pinging now. Please fix it."

About four hours later, they might reboot it. Then, they'd start randomly yanking cables out of their switches like crazed baboons.

I don't blame WebAir for this. I blame Mike for lying to me constantly that he would do something about it for about two months, until I finally gave up and moved. Smoooth sailin'

I guess I never stated that my problem was resolved. I think it was a sql server down which caused my sites not to be able to connect to databases properly and punch out some funky errors on any custom scripts. Eventually everything went down but it's all back up and running just fine.

Who ever implied that virtual customers were not as important as dedicated?
