Hi all,

I'm a webhost based in india
After going thru the WHT i decided to go for a dedicated Cobalt with rackshack . Unfortunatly when i tried to order my dedicated the following message appeared

HTTP Error 403
403.6 Forbidden: IP address rejected

This error is caused when the server has a list of IP addresses that are not allowed to access the site, and the IP address you are using is in this list.

Please contact the Web server's administrator if the problem persists.

I'd tried using 4 different ISP's but it always gives the same message..???? what could be wrong ...did they blocked the complte IP range of all the 4 ISP's I'm using or is their some other problem ??:angry: :angry: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling:

Rackshack has been having problems with their order scripts. They may have it corrected now, so I would try again. If not, send a note directly to the sales staff. Rackshack's sales staff would be more than happy to set you up via email if you cannot use their scripts.

I ordered online without any problems. Rackshack support has a lot of praises and negatives on these boards. You may want to do some searching or find other Rackshack clients who are not based in the US and get their opinions.
