Hostive, WTF is going on there ?
 

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 ??
:helpme

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.

When did you email them ??

serves ya right for being cheap asses. Heres a clue, the top 3 in the biz

ISPrime
Techie
NatNet

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..

Yesterday.

Exactly 8chars

I would be going nuts.. I'm having second thoughts here..

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!

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!


Tanker

Thanks, Tanker. I'll have a look in their direction..

Now your not earning any money with servers down :1orglaugh

Learn to read. We ORDERED a server..

BTW, why would you find other people's bad luck amusing ?

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.
(No sig here because Bryan is good people)

I think DWHS would at least be in the top 3, after all we have had 100% network uptime this year and use redundant premium bandwidth tat has NEVER been over subscribed.

ohh boy since when a host is just the hardware used on the servers...you got it ALL and I mean ALL wrong...

say what? ohhh boy some of you guys are a real piece of work i tell you :1orglaugh

who? :1orglaugh

Exactly...he could had said top20 but even that would be stretching it :winkwink:

Your starting to piss me off, you think because you are a forum you be stupid and get away with it. The fact is we all know your a dumbass that doesn't know anything.

The fact is and everyone knows is that read your posts is that you nothing more then asshole.

Get lost :321GFY

oh boy

you don't WANT to hear my woes with hostive

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.

this thread is a testament as to why you stick with quality hosting outfits that host some of the absolute largest players in the adult arena.

www.isprime.com
www.techiemedia.com

and so forth. :winkwink:

never even heard of you, in fact i know of not a single site that's hosted with you.

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.. :2 cents: 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. :2 cents:

show me some isprime down threads please?

I have always heard awesome things about ISprime, you'll find tons of people giving them praise, and I know first hand that their tech support is as good as it gets. But, as I've said no one is perfect.

There are a couple threads, I'm to busy to search more.

3rd link bogus and the others are from 03, so 2 years no downtime? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

So in two years another company could not build itself up?

I'm not here to battle, I can care less to be honest.

But no one is perfect.

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.

:1orglaugh He told me the story about how cops couldn't use there computers for the whole time. :2 cents:

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

You forget that bandwidth cost money????

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.

hmm better quit while your ahead. A little birdie i know hosted at dwhs. I could share his experience or you could shut the fuck up and stop spamming your company in a thread not asking for your crap.
