Virtual servers down with cologroup?
 

I've been having troubles all day and now it seems that the virtual servers are down. Anyone else here having this problem?

This is my second day with them. I'm getting scared..

You get what you pay for.
You want hosting for like 20 cents, you can't expect solid uptime.

My own site is down less then 30 minutes per month, but I pay more for bandwidth.

My server at cologroup is up

grrrr, my second day too

My virtual account with them was also down. I called and they said something about server upgrades, and that the downtime would be minimal. That was about 45 minutes ago, and my account is now back online.

Why don't you icq their tech support before posting this on webmaster boards?

Yeah, it's up. It's been up and down all day long. I really hope that this is a temporary situation. The reviews have been really positive and that's why I jumped in.

I really hope I didn't make a mistake.

:(

I did ICQ them, I talked to Jason himself a couple of times, he told me it would be fixed in 15 mins. And a couple of hours later it was still up and down, and up and down..

I wanted other people's opinion. Because I have sent a couple of tickets to tech support and didn't get a reply. The 1st one I sent about the problem was this morning.

mines up....

Cool, mines up also.. I'm crossing fingers right now.

I really hope everything's going to be fine. :)

Judging from the coincidence that this is in fact my second day with them too, they must be busy with an upgrade as Jason told me on ICQ.

My server is up and pushing 6mbps right now, but I have a dedicated server. Virtual hosting is crap, get your own box!

makes you wonder why these companies don't have a page that shows if there's any upgrades scheduled or downtime thats currently occurring.

i mean fuck, it sux when your site goes down. especially when the possibility of getting blacklisted on sites can occur.

It's low buget hosting... Yeah, you pay 2 cents a gig or whatever, but there are no admins and no guarentee of uptime.

Doesn't surprise me your sites are down.

Up and running fine here.

This is not really a true statement. If a server thats being used as a Virtual server, meaning there are a few different sites hosted on it, is a quality built server, and good quality bandwidth, then it's no different if that server is yours alone and you have a few of your own domains on it. Virtual servers are only bad when a host tries to overload it with to many accounts doing to much traffic. This can also happen if the server was just dedicated for 1 site only. So it's not if a server is "dedicated" or "Virtual", it's more a function of how you admin it and what it's actually being used for.

dumbass.

So it's not if a server is "dedicated" or "Virtual"

good point

"It's low buget hosting... Yeah, you pay 2 cents a gig or whatever, but there are no admins and no guarentee of uptime."

Cologroup gives me insanely cheap prices per mbps and extremely well built colo boxes for the most cheapest price i have ever paid.

Remote boot, 24 hour support via their #800 or icq, its incredible.

I have never, NEVER had better prices on b/w and colo server rental ever. Their service is top notch.

I stand behind cologroup, they are one hell of an awesome company.

i just hope jason knows how to drive a lamborghini manual

for kmans sake :)

hehe

Virtual Hosting Server had problems for the past 2 days, I posted that on another thread as well. We've been working on it and doing upgrades and part swaps.

It is alright you posted this on GFY, because I was considering posting it myself in its own thread. Just wanted to let everyone know what was going on.

So basically, you should not see any more problems from the server. Also, to avoid this we are making all the virtual hosting clustered as of this weekend. Meant to do it last weekend, but it just did not happen.

If you see any hiccups tonight, let me know because the issues where all worked out from what I see now.

And Bash, it's not low budget hosting, we have a lot of serious customers on our server that make a living doing what they do.

It is good value hosting and the problems come far and few.

yeah

i make some decent pennies :)

Give me a fucking break...

I figured I add this piece, since it is pretty obvious. The Internet connection at our office is flipping out. Connectivity has been up an down, so that is why I am not on ICQ. It keeps crapping out. Once it stablizes, I will be back on the normal 20 hours a day that you are used to seeing me.

Also, Myles, our main tech, had a problem with his computer, so we had to re-install a new system on it. Took all day yesterday, but now it is back up. So, for the past 2 days, the virtual hosting service and support has not even been close to what you can expect from us.

We got the virtual hosting problems worked out and support should be back to normal this evening.

Just thought I would let you know, as our goal is to delivering outstanding support and service, and I don't feel we have met that in the past 2 days.

If you have any questions, just call us at 408-209-8949 or 858-456-7378. Thanks for your patience in dealing with the hiccups. I will definately make up for it.

Give me a break. I'll give you a free account on our server if you ICQ me. You can test it out and tell me if it is crappy or not. That way you wont be just talking out your ass!

jason don't waste your time

everybody knows you are top notch :)

now go fix some servers superman!

Why do you spam here constantly? I never see the big hosts spaming.

Your a hosts that's only been around a few months using a questionable bandwidth provider and all you do is hang out in this board and spam your banner.

Your shits down your customers are complaining and your still in here trying to sell your shit every chance you get.

Pimphost, I have to agree with Bash. You do spam like crazy. Every thread about hosting and even not about hosting all you do is spam your cologroup??....Can I ask you if you got your sales training selling used cars??

stop jumping on him because he sells a good service

shit i don't see that many hosts pushing 800 - 900mbps that hang around here and care about it's webmasters.

you guys really need to care less, it's like you are in love with him but can't have him or something :)

No what you don't see is the big hosts spamming...Thats what you don't see.

he is not spamming

he dosen't need to spam

it's most of his clients who like his service that go and give the good word. i haven't seen him start a spam thread ever.

good services should be known, and he runs a good service, that is all.

you don't have to care so much, shit, don't read the thread :)

who really cares anyways, not me

you should be happy you have the gift of life, and stop whineing and bitching over small shit

There are more, many more...

when the thread gets locked, it's spam

so listen to your gods boneprone and lensman :)

Jason is a goddamn champ. I know who i'll be getting my box with :thumbsup

If you care so little, then why are you posting about this so much??..... You sound like that guy Rollin2 who used to be here??


Thanks RK for finding those:thumbsup

Well i couldnt keep my big mouth shut. I have to chime in and say that i HAVE seen many, allegedly, big hosts spamming here. BTW i defnitely consider Cologroup a big provider. I happen to know quite a few FreeHosts who have SEVERAL dedicated boxes at Cologroup. Surprise, they aren't lacking freehost sign ups. Give him a break! Jason didn't even start the thread, he was just responding. Imagine the hell he would have caught if he didn't respond. Thats my:2 cents:

How can you accuse pimpshost of spamming when this is a thread that was started by someone else and just happens to be about cologroup?

If the thread is about cologroup and pimpshost (being the owner of cologroup) replies inside this thread....how is that spam?

ENOUGH............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This thread is worthless at this point. Cologroup had a few problems today thats it. He explained what happened, so nuff said.......All hosts have a hiccup now and then, there all human, and servers are just machines..... Leave it at that.:winkwink:

askmomma

you really are walking on a thin line. and your comments are total shit. get a brain. and who the fuck is rollin2?

Like said above, this thread is done. Colo said what they needed to say in a professional manner.

...

2nd time i agree with Wiredoctor today........something is not right!

Ok, I started this thread, I will finish it.

pimpshost, many thanks for the explanation. I really appreciate it.

Ok, discussion over.

Thanks.. :)

I don't know if askmomma ment it as such but I would take a comparison to rollin2 as a major insult. Rollin was the guy who fucked over Shemp and DTK and others.

well i never fucked over that person and i am no rolling so that is definatley not me.

anyways, i am out, leno is on soon :)

Still having trouble?

Uh?! Why did you bump this old thread?! LOL. Maybe you missed the other cologroup threads. After all the drama, I left them 3-4 months after. It was the most horrible hosting experience ever.
