A big FUCK YOU to e5Hosting!! {{DRAMA}}
 

Hey thanks for taking the box down that I've been on for the last year or so with out backing it up first. Oh and thanks for making sure I was getting the emails "warning" of this "migration"

One thing that kinda confused me is that since when do virtual account holders need to move their sites when YOU want to move them to a new box? Isn't that a simple thing to do since you're the admins?

Again, thanks for costing me several sales a day and hundreds of hours of hand writen blog entries.

Fucking assholes.

Oh and if I'm ever in NJ you can bet your ass I'll be taking you up on that offer.

i stick a sock down my pants yo... the ladies think i have big weener

major hosting drama?

you should have been with:

www.webair.com
www.tear2hosting.com
www.dwhs.com
www.oc3networks.com

never used'em but thanx for the warning

Webair..... got'em not too happy but no real complaints
Tear2 - Canceled
dwhs - nope
oc3 - nope

I like petite asian ladies. :)

Sounds like you got seriously fucked. I share your pain.

I've been with Jaguar PC for over a year now. No drama at all and excellent support 24/7 (fast, and I mean FAST ticket response time).

www.jaguarpc.com (no ref)

Really professional... :disgust

BTW, you should charge back every single penny you ever paid them. They had no business fucking with your hard work like that, ESPECIALLY after taking your money.

Oh please, someone ban this guy! Pretty please with a cherry on top.

i thought you were a sigwhore without any sites? what do you know about hosting?

He doesn't.

I would suggest emailing [email protected] and ask for a comparable offer.


~Ray

don't we all :pimp

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I would suggest the above is ignored.

LOL :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Pot laughing at kettle? :)

Can I help make you happy?


:)

Tell your tech guys to actually fix something that I've brought up with them numerous times maybe.

What happened there?

Hosthead would love your business Spermy, and will do nothing but prove it.

shitty virtual hosting and strange memory/latency issues with the dedicated

I had one blog going down form number one on yahoo to page 20035 or so because of my host, since then I donwload the contents of my blogs at least once a week to my HD + I save every single post in a txt file as well

yep I've lost many a posistion due to hosts fucking around.

I save locally in a TXT and then send it to a Gmail account, just to be sure. I also do regular db backups via mysqldump.

Don't want to get fucked.

I will talk to someone in the am ok hun?


:)

Sperm and Antonio... you guys should also be using some type of back-up service as well. Even if your host is at error, there's always the possibility of hard drive failure where once again you'll lose everything. Back-up service is VERY important and quite affordable. Think of it as insurance.

If your business isn't worth insuring, is it worth having?

ty :)

and Sly, I agree not having the back up service was a bad idea :Oh crap

The host shut down his account and fucked up everything on the server. What makes you think they wouldn't have fucked up the backup as well? Sorry, but to me this was an intentional move.

Um... I think you're missing the overall, broad point I was making.

No, I'm pretty sure I got it. Just saying, if they don't respect clients and their content, why would they respect their backups?

So they were moving you to a new server, but just trashed the data on your old server and said to reupload everything yourself?

stick with webair :)

LOL, dude, I don't know anything about E5 aside from they were hitting GFY a while back with some pretty low prices. For all I know they were operating out of some guys basement. This has been quite the trend over the years, low prices lead to questionable service. Anyway, thats a different discussion.

You are probably right. They may not have respected back-ups. My point was: Sperm had no copies of his site, anywhere, and he really should. Thats all I was saying.

I'm sad to see you just leave like that; I wish you would have written me a message. With the 'managed by yourself' option from Tear2, as long as it pings, we assume everything is working fine for what you are doing - because, well, you opted not to have a managed server.

As I had mentioned over ICQ, we were going to move you into a better machine - you and Kris had the (now) oldest systems and we wanted to get you 'up to speed' on the latest and greatest of the lower end $100/mo systems.

However, I know many people who are happy with OC3. Good luck, man!

:thumbsup

A cron job every midnight would have emailed you your uptodate db every day ....
Still doesn't excuse this fuck up.
I migrated virtual accounts ( 200+ ) from one box to the other, then got everyone to check, then changed the dns, but still had the "old"box untouched for 2 weeks... some clients appreciated this, allowing them to recoup their Horde emails and so on ....

from what I understand, it wasn't a 'migration' issue - it was a hack???
at least, that's what I was told..

I lucked out - backed up EVERYTHING a week ago.. it was almost a premonition..
first time I did a full backup of ALL data in 9 months...

Is it simple to set up a cronjob that does a mysqldump and then scp's the backed up file to another box? How would I handle the user/pass prompt of the other box?

Cool add me to ICQ.

Damn simple.

There are several tutorials for doing 'just this', but most are geared towards rsync. I prefer rsync, but hey, if all you want is your mysql, this should still assist you.

tear2hosting i cancelled a while ago, and they still bill me.

look into rsync ... maybe you could integreate that command in a cronjob.

edit: hadn't seen post above me on that... :thumbsup

rsync is your friend ;)

i simply can't understand webmasters who get their sites hosted with hosts that no one heard of .

There are only 3 hosts i currently trust
rackspace.com , isprime.com , verio.com


verio are the most trustable network company in the world , i host my shit with them directly , never liked resellers either.

I had to talk to both Dave and Jim to get the rebills to stop on the virtual account... Probably going to get rebilled on the dedicated I canceled as well :(

Fris please email me: jim AT Tear2Hosting dot com or ICQ: 333-300-283

Spermy we spoke earlier today and I assured you that everything was taken care of. We always make right on any issue.

Jim

Yeah I'm not too worried about being re-billed. Even if it did happen you guys would fix it asap like with the virtual thing :winkwink:
