Webair, huge respect and thanks
 

So my server HD's (yes, all of them) broke the other week and webair feared that all my data was lost. Being a lazy dumbass I did not have a backup plan and only old local backups. I thought that it was all gone and that I was going to have to rebuild everything but the webair guys told me to give them a few days to see what they could do even though the prognosis was quite bad.

Said and done I waited for about a week and yesterday I got the message that all my data had been saved and that I could continue my operations as usual. I did not pay a cent for the service nor did they have to do this. During the anxious days of waiting for the result they also kept a great communication going letting me know the progress and setbacks as they happened.

They basically did a full data recovery which would have cost me a great deal if I would have had to send the discs to a company specialized in that kind of thing.

Just wanted to let people know what webair goes beyond the call of duty when it comes to satisfying customers, at least in my experience.

Big thanks guys!

Shill... How much free hosting did they offer for you to post that?

Glad to see a success story, hopefully many more follow :thumbsup

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

None. I give credit where credit is due.

anyone have an issue with wordpress and webair vps?

Anytime i update a wordpress blog on it the site goes down for about 2-3 minutes when i click publish


support says they fix it doesnt get fixed

i would move but the headache to move everything would be insane and im a small customer so no host will move all my sites for me

No, haven't noticed any problems.

Yeah, Amerinoc will move you no problems.

What gave you that idea?

Have you tried escalating it or emailing your rep? I had the same problem once but cc'd my rep and he made sure it didn't happen again..:2 cents:

Using Cpanel? Its as easy as entering a few fields and clicking a button.

Using RAID 1 + remote Amazon S3 backups is proper way of keeping backups of importatn things...

So you rent a server from them, and their hard drive breaks. Then it takes a week to fix and you say its amazing?

You're lost....

Ever rent a car and have something break? Every rent an apt and have something break?

I had all my laptop drives die recently... I am running SpinRite on the main drive for 560 hours now, and supposed 2,137 hours to go (stuck on some really bad sectors right now, will decrease back to normal when it gets back to good sectors)... But yeah, over 3 weeks and still under 20% recovered. It takes awhile, depending on drive size and damage done. I have 3 more drives to run through after this one.

Honestly which other host is paying you to slam Webair like you are? You live close take a tour of the DC in Garden City ....

Secondly yes they had support issues but Mike has and is fixing the ship up as I have seen and for disclosure Yes mike and the staff there are long time friends and even I had some issues at times with them but mostly cause I am a demanding prick heheh

Carry on and happy passover

Why would I need someone to pay me to bash them, and why single me out, when I am far from the only one that calls them out. They did a good job of ruining their own reputation. They dont need my help. I did not single them out as a host, more so that i singled out the OP for sounding like a retard. He was in another thread where someone complained about Webair, said they are amazing, then started this thread with old news. Why did he not start this thread when it actually occured. Why did he wait until there was some negative thread about Webair to start a positive one?

When you rent equipment from someone. It is their equipment and it is there job to fix it. I have been involved in the hosting industry since the late 90's and anyone who I have worked with or worked for. Would say having a client down for a week on your rented equipment is not good business. Same goes for treating small customers like shit, which is always a big complaint about them on here. I know where there facility is and that it is nice. That doesn't mean anything for the quality of service. It really just kind of blows my mind sometimes how naive people are about quality of service. You had some issues and worked through it.....to me that does not make sense. You rely on these people to run your business. When I am running a business there is no excuse for anything less then perfection. How many signups do you lose with an hour of downtime? Are they willing to reimburse you for it?

The hosting company in my sig pays me per signup. I do not know who owns it or anyone who works there. I just have had good experience there and they pay a good amount per sign up. I hope people signup so I can get paid. I will also help lead them in the right direction if they want some words of wisdom. They probably dont even know webair exists.

You on the other hand, are buddies with these guys. Therefore I am quite sure you get preferred service when it comes to support. If this was not Webair and it was some other hosting company that made the same mistakes. I would call them out as well. I have nothing against them personally or as a company. No one ever has anything good to say about them except people who get free hosting or have paid sig's. As I said. If this was Joe Schmo's Web Hosting that the OP started this thread about. I would have said the same comment. When you have so many customers, you are bound to not make someone happy. But I think its gone past that already. There are plenty of hosts out there that are never down, that are completely redundant, that backup there data, and that have great customer service. There is no need to settle. You are willing to stick it out because it is your friend. That is not the case with everyone.

Happy Passover to you as well. I am surprised you are not in Miami with the rest of the NY Jews :)

I just got my server upgraded to the Cloud! few more bells and whistles, liking it so far

will look into them.

I asked a few places and when they found out i didnt need a dedicated box i was kind of just ignored.


Never emailed but hit my guy up on icq and just never got anywhere
edit: just realized my contact on icq is actually mike rather than a normal account rep. Who should I go with to see about getting something fixed?

thanks for SpinRite .
i am amazed to see , what it can do.

Certified Hosting will move everything for you. I cannot say enough nice things about them.

I will openly admit that Webair approached me years ago to support them here. They offered me a free server in exchange for promoting and defending them on GFY. Specifically, Mike made this offer. I had recently purchased another affiliate program and decided to transfer the sites to that server until I was ready to revamp and put them back online.

I made a couple of nice posts but stopped and pulled them out of my sig the second they lost my entire members area.

The hosting companies currently represented in my sig have been solid for me and neither of them have ever asked me to defend them, post on their behalf, or cause problems for any of their competition. What they have done is provided great service, minimal downtime, and simply proven why they are better than most.

On the other hand, the OP of this thread has changed his screen name due to his poor history on GFY. Anybody that trusts him or his opinions is asking for trouble. :2 cents:

Aaron, who was The Duck? On mobile PITA to search.

The problem is they offer only dedicated servers for at least $250/month

Read this thread.

I wouldn't call that a problem.

If you want virtual machines from a solid company, try ezp.net. They are pro-active, respond quickly to support issues, and go above and beyond to assist with things that most dedicated hosts would not give you the time of day on.

Need something larger but not a dedicate box? I've had great experiences so far with PhoenixNAP.com's cloud. I decided to try it out because CCBill has been so generous to the adult community over the years, I wanted to kick them back some business. So far, no regrets.

Buy a cheap vps with 128/256 ram and a decent amount of disk space and make an external backup everyday.

Understood.

Kandah, our resident shady content guy who believes we are controlled by reptilians.

Are you saying that we aren't?

I didn't think they existed until I saw this, wait, are you a reptile?

nice of them to help you out like this

That's funny. Even if they give away servers for free they can't keep their customers :1orglaugh
Idiots.

Kandah.
A total loser and as all losers here, a lunatic conspiracy theorist.

Yea he sounds like a real winner. I guess birds of a feather.....

AaronM you are sad man. Are you still holding a grudge against me?

We have never done any business together ever, he just plain does not like me. Your behavior is similar to that of a teenage girl, just pathetic man. I feel sorry for you.

Also coming in here and admitting that you took bribes to lie to the members of gfy and to lure them into buying something? Great for your credibility man, good stuff.

Piss off you dumb fuck.

Anyone sense epic irony on this one ? :1orglaugh

Sounds like a usual webair success story.

Wow that's a blast from the past.

A grudge? No, not at all. A grudge is something personal. What I hold against you is your inability to properly run a content company, selling non 2257 compliant content, and most importantly, selling adult content with children in it.

How about you take a minute to read what I posted? I never lied about my experiences with Webair. Yes they did try to bribe me to do so but my support stopped the moment they fucked up.

Twist my words if you like. Everybody here can see what you did there. I have no need to twist anything I have to say about you or the host you're sucking off. The truth is bad enough.

You are fucked up.

Provide proof that I have ever sold adult content with child models. That is absolutely disgusting and I despise you for accusing me of it.

I do not think you realize how serious of an accusation this is you dimwitted imbecile.

I have sent a report to the admins so that they can decide whether what you are doing is good practice on this forum.

Make sure to send a report to David Icke as well.
