My experience with Webair
First week:
- At least 5 hours downtime - Support wasn't able to fix stats problem (Contacted them a few times) - 30 days money back guarantee is total bullshit ("I will look into the account note any issues with the server in the past 3 months, and look at your support tickets log...If there is reasonable cause for a refund I will credit your account." Good thing this was for a small mainstream project and I just tried their smallest virtual plan and I didn't buy a dedicated and moved all my stuff there... |

I'd hit up Mike - he should be able to help you out. I had been given the wrong server and Mike had it fixed within 8 hours with even better specs than I had ordered, on top of a service credit an awesome price on that server and the follow-on that I am ordering.
I've got servers with 4 different companies at the moment, Webair is by far the best.

We've been at webair for years now.. can you believe we run all of quickbuck on a 9.95 a month virtual server? ;-)
Seriously though, we have something like 30 or 40 servers at webair and while they have their weak points like any company they have always been there and always been on the ball with any problems. We have tried every other major host out there but we still come back to webair. |

I've been using them for years now. I'm buying ANOTHER box from them this month. I'm not saying they are unbeatable, there's lots of good companies, but I've never had a real problem with them at all. We are talking years with a capital Y at this point and mb's of sustained transfer being, err, sustained by them without fail. Heh heh

Was with webair for 3 years with 2 boxes, and it was mostly good. Support was average, not too many mistakes were made, sort of what you would expect for a cheap host. I wasn't too unhappy with my experience for what I paid.
Though when we tried to upgrade the boxes (being 3 years old and paying way too much), it all just became too hard and responses to our requests were few and far between. So I cancelled the 2 boxes and moved. As far as cheap hosts go webair is ok. Though don't go thinking they are a nationalnet or isprime etc. ![]()

Why are all these bash Webair threads starting? At least do it when there isnt a huge show going on halfway across the country right now. I have never used them I dont know, just a valid point.

The boyz at webair are a good group. Take it from someone that is in the hosting business, they have always been helpful.

![]() Really, I'm sure Webair is a good server provider and host, but come on. Every time somebody says something's wrong, the replies are always 'contact Mike and he'll fix it for you'. So, basically, Webair is a one-man band huh?

And just to show what sheep the Webair crew are - Webair recently advertised a European 'Special', with specs like:
Pentium4 2.8 1Gig RAM 5mbps for $199 I said this was extremely expensive for Europe, since one of Europe's largest providers were offering far better, eg Dual Opteron dual core 2 GB RAM 100mbps for the same price and I was shouted down for being a troll. Sure, it was a bit of a hijack, but I didn't mention the hosting company and was just trying to point out what level European hosting was at and for what price.

Dude, if GOOD European hosting was that cheap every company from adult to the fortune 500 would be hosting over there. They aren't because it's not.
On another note, Over the past 6 years I have been around this board I have noticed that some hosting companies use the dirtiest tactics to smear other hosting companies. They are like women. Catty, sneaky and all around hateful when it comes to competition. Only the hosts are like this on this board. So when you start to see random snipes just popping out of nowhere about hosts you kind of chalk it up to the way some folks in hosting play the game.

Pete shut the fuck up... you don't have 10-15 dedicated servers on webair.. maybe your parents have 10-15 dedicated servers on webair.. and you just control them.
and btw.. what the fuck is 10-15 servers? you don't even know how many servers you have over there? way to stay on the ball champ |

I have a box with another host too. They have the BEST support I've EVER had with a host. Each company has its up and downs. But in the grand scheme, they are both great hosts.

Overall they are very good BUT Their junior tech are just shitty !! Support ticket is horrible, they don't read half of it of your complain, they ask you questions that they woudn't have too if they read correctly. Not even able to fix stats problems and small bugs. Solving issues is not what matters. Answering as much support ticket possible is their main goal. Here is an example on how they read : Me :ok... you can't solve my problem, please provide me Brian's email (He's a senior tech, very competent) WEBAIR : [email protected] Me : Ahhh common... I want to send an Email to Brian. WEBAIR : He's not available right now. Me : I don't want to talk with him... I want to send him an Email. WEBAIR : ... ME : So ? WEBAIR : [email protected] Me : Thanks ! Guess what ?? It was not even his correct Email address !! |

Well, the one I was on about with the price has a lot of peering for transatlantic, but no more than redbus or cogent. They are excellent intra-europe though, which is what I use them for. It all depends on what you want european hosting for.

320GB/month, yes
But operates on the 95th percentile for burstable billing

Can't help raise a cynical smile at these terms budesbabes
![]() It would be nice to see the adult industry dump the "stand up top notch guys" bullshit. There are no "stand up top notch guys" anywhere - either in this industry or outside it. Companies or "guys" are "stand up" as long as they can be bothered - and being human, they all fail at some point. "Top notch" is called getting the service you paid for - hardly celebration time. This is not mean't as a reflection on Webair or any other host - it applies across the board. Everyone is "top notch" till they screw up - that is inevitable - then it's time to not waste words and move on.

Ah... They got some nice shades of blue paint down your local hardware store. It's best to get a color chart and hold this up against your monitor to establish the right shade. Personally, I've found a small tin is more than enough - it's sufficient for ten coats.... Damn.. this thread is getting like a top notch resource for webmasters... uncommon on GFY...

I don't have much experience with webair, but have bought content from a company they host, and I when downloading the content it was the fastest transfer I have ever seen.

![]() OK.. Simplified version - 1 MBit = 320 Gigs of BW, so... your 1600 Gigs is going to equate to roughly 5 MBits. Amazing Dreamhost are not giving hassle, but who knows, it may reflect the numbers of accounts who don't use any bandwidth. Now... Webair are threatening to offer you a dedicated server for $200/month with your BW - but changes are it would need to be more to handle traffic peaks - so $8/month and a willingness to take the rough with the smooth sounds not so bad ![]()

I've never had a real "issue" with Webair. If I'm ever down... I'm back up in seconds. On a dedicated P3... no probs to date.
Thanks Webair! |
