I am a little confussed.

While visiting the Like Whoa website, I see they are very secure and located in the FBI building in New York.

Would someone please correct me If I am reading this wrong. Does the FBI own or operate Like Whoa?

http://www.likewhoa.com/hosting.php

Their web site states - "Advanced Physical Security. Like Whoa's brand new, wholly owned Generation 5 datacenter provides both physical and Internet security for your business. The security of our datacenter is maintained by digital video cameras, as well as a card-key access system that is required to obtain admittance into our facilities. Every Web server is physically locked and rack-mounted to prevent the disturbances of seismic activity. Our datacenter is located in the heart of New York City, at the headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Investigation."

The above is from http://www.likewhoa.com/hosting.php

The only advanced physical security I saw there was the big steel door that everyone went through. There were no hand scanners, no security staff in the building outside the half asleep guard at the front desk for all the clients that were in that building.

The customers servers were lying about. No cages to offer, no doors on the racks of customers colo gear and the best part was that I walked all over the building and no one asked me for any identification, now thats security!!!!

this is the second time they lose there servers and have to move,

the last time, was oh about 2 and half years ago,

and well, I hosted with them after that fucked up,

and I left after repeated downtime,

look when you are down for more than a day, or something,

and its not explained by routing problems or hardware,

then get the fuck out, there is no reason ever to be locked out, turned off, droped from your provider, or any of the crazy shit like whoa gets in to,

they are dead beat liars,

I have 1 full day of downtime and I left, that was like 5 months ago, the last time they fucked up

I really cant beleive they still have customers and even after this, they will still have customers,

open your eyes, they are liars and thieves,

PS, call visa adn tell them you lost your card, and they will send you a new one,

dont let likewhoa bill your ass,

they got colections on me but they will never see a dime,

they owe me money for the damage they did to my business,

PS when you leave them they will tell you what they really think of you, and lay it heavy on you,

but liek I said before,

fuck like whoa

thank you
Only reason for all locks outs and services being turned off was for one reason only. Non payment.

Of all the other hosts that are mentioned on this board, how many of them have been turned off or locked out this many times as LikeWhoa has?

Did you actual visit like whoa?

Are they really with the FBI like their website say?

when i saw their site for the first time yesterday, it looked like one of those Template Masters templates of web hosting companies.

There are numerous tennants in that building. The FBI is one of them.

LWI had a 2,000dq ft suite for colo inside Network Plus's facility, that's all.

No offices there, no nothing.

well at the time,

I had one server with them and they had gone like 6 months without down time,

adn well I had hosted with a british guy who colocated with like whoa,

and when likewhoa got locked out the last time they said it was the other hosts fautl and braged how I hosted with them but was paying a middle man,

and well at the time my free host had been fucked over by servenet.com

so I moved my free host to likewhoa,

and then flashhost and maxim have network fuck ups,

so I had enogh of that shit adn moved to like whoa,

and then I had everything with like whoa,

I should have gone with isprime at the time,

I also had some stuff with swiftwill.com

then liek whoa fucked up, some more bullshit downtime,

so I moved it all to swiftwill, but I have a server with hahahahahaha also,

see ive been through 9 hosts, and my site is never down,

in most cases you will go down a bit and come back up and you can move dns in 24 hours, and be on another host,

I always got one foot out the door when hosts fuck up,

but actually right now,

of all the bad hosts I had, like whoa takes the cake, for lying and bullshit,

and my current host,

swiftwill.com over 1 year and no downtime yet, so Im very happy,

IM a loyal customer , no one wants to move hosts ,

but you have to be ready to jump ship, when the shit hits the fan,

other wise you go down with the ship, ive never had more than 24 hours downtime, on vidsvidsvids.com

in over 4 years, because I left and watched my own ass,

look if anyone is still hosting with like whoa, wake up adn move your ass,

pick from

swiftwill.com hahahahahaha.com and isprime.com for cheap reliable managed services,

thost are the solid guys right now, who are not fucking up,

it was stan and nick, on icq and on the phone,

also cheap rates, and good icq tech support,

and script promises,

but what I actually got, was lies, repeated downtime, a useless free host script, and bullshited,

and then a colection agency on my ass,

so again, fuck like whoa,

LikeWhoa is down for the count thanks to Tukhman's mismanagement. It is off the net and never ever coming back.
Anyone who wants hosting fast just let me know. I am
able to retrieve your equipment 24 hours/day, I'm only about 10 miles from the facility and I have bandwidth etc. here no problem. I may be able to buy out
the server your site was on if your were on their equipment.
If you are on their equipment act fast before he sells it to someone else. No, I have no clue how much the servers will sell for. I would suspect that $10,000 is above the price for most of the equipment and that $1000 is below.
Ony the man himself knows pricing.

Have you ever tried to get cell reception inside a bombproof facility with blastproof doors? it doesn't work so hot.
This is typical at all colocation facilities -- what the building doesn't stop all the EMF from thousands of switching power supplies will. Even 802.11b wi-fi has issues in that environment.
oh, don't forget the cages -- lovely antennas for all that rf noise.

No, the real question is why the hell is everyone calling him directly?? why doesn't the company have a call center to take messages and answer standard questions not to mention
have access to the server status so they know where your stuff is at?
you know, like a real business. Deal with a REAL hosting center sometime -- not this adult stuff, someone like Sprint or UUNET.
Do you think you get to call the VP of hosting at UUNET to ask where your server for your e-commerce site is at?
No! you get to call the NOC -- maybe not even, maybe a call center that dispatches calls based on issues (network vs. system vs. billing etc. etc.).
You can't run a company with hundreds of servers as a one-man band or even a trio.

This is complete and utter bullshit. I've been picking up servers from Nick pretty much every day for the past few days. You need to get in touch with him, his permission to release the box (usually he will verify the ownership), and letters of authorization. If anyone REALLY wants their servers picked up, hit me up, and I will be more than happy to accomodate you. ICQ is below. Thanks.

You are picking up people's equipment which they own.
It is the people who are on equipment they do NOT own
that are going to lose their data. It is that equipment which will eventually be liquidated. I never aid nor implied that Nick will sell equipment which does not belong to the company.
If you supplied a server or bought one from LikeWhoa, you'll get it.
I can get stuff out and up on the et for anyone who wants.
Just because you have been picking up servers doesn't mean
you are the ONLY one who can do so.

If I get enough people together at one shot I can even get a cage at the same facility and turn up connectivity in 36 hours.

Is anyone watching ebay et al to see if LWI is putting stuff up for sale yet? someone should search to see if there's a seller id already set up and let the rest of us know....
