I don't think the 2048MB of ram applies to this offer still. I placed an order for this special on Saturady but put in the wrong billing address. The order didn't go through, I called on Saturday but had to contact them again today since they didn't reply. They just reversed the pre-autohrization which should take effect tomorrow. Looks like i won't be able to get the server now that the special's over.. :bawling:

ALS
04-19-2004, 07:31 PM
I'm pretty sure if you can prove you placed the order already well before the specials end you should still be able to get it. But of course thats up to SM.

The TC server is still a great deal if you are able to afford it. :)

The person I talked to in chat today was pretty helpful. She even faxed paypal a letter to help get the pre-authorization lifted sooner (it was a paypal debit card I used). It just said to enter the address, not billing address so I put the wrong one in. :)

I'll try to chat with them tomorrow when the charge gets reversed and see if they will help me out. But the special listed above is incorrect, the 2048MB of ram doesn't apply to the brand-new special (i just checked on the website).

ALS
04-19-2004, 07:49 PM
No that special doesn't apply any longer Jeff will probably fix that when he gets back.

They are pretty helpful and understanding thats why I say they will probably honor your order with that special but again thats up to SM.....I can't speak for them....I'm just a client.

Correction on the Total Control Special it is not for the RAM. It is just for the free control panel.

Sorry everyone.

Thank You

Is this free control panel for the life time of the account, or is it only free for x amount of months only?

Yes, and is this offer still valid if I re-order a server today that I ordered two weeks ago when I was trying to get this same offer.. boy guess you guys didn't want my money then, but now is ok...

YourHost
04-22-2004, 11:23 AM
The offer is good for new server orders only.

The offer is good for as long as you have the server and remain current on your bill.

Thank You

From my experiences about 24 hours, 48 was the longest I've experienced.

Open a support ticket. I dont thing sales can help ;)

YourHost
04-23-2004, 07:47 PM
Sales can help. It could be he does not have the access rights to add the service. He could be logging in as a user that was not set by the customer correctly.

You can always open a sales ticket

Thank You

I ordered one - thanks.. This was on the 20th though, and its not up yet. Hope they get around to it soon, it has been almost a full workweek - a lot longer than the 24 hrs we are used to...

(yes they did have to connect it to the same vlan as my other server, but how hard can it be ;) ).

edit - about 20 seconds after posting this an email arrived with my login info! this was re-sent from this morning, so I must have lost some mail somehow.

blush - and thanks ;)

The free File Tranaction Hub ...
Is that also a special for this week only as is the Control Panel ?

And this might seem like a silly question ...
Is it possible to order a free control panel as per the special and not install it, at least not right away ?

Thanks, Frank

Seems to be getting busy over there. Hope I can still get in under the wire...

The 'quote' sheets keep timing out. Somebody really needs to b-slap the person who built them anyway - they won't accept the perfectly legal 'dash' character in the host name. Who's responsible for THAT snafu? Hope they're pushing a broom now, someplace where they can't do any damage. :)

Ohh this just sucks!

I just ordered a server on the 16th and this deal comes out on the 20th. $20 monthly cpanel fee is a hefty sum in my currency :S

Can you extend this offer for a day or so? I just saw this and is definitely very interested. Thanks!

Also what is the difference between ThePlanet and SM?

ServerMatrix is a division (or as they call it, "satellite") of ThePlanet. Same network, same datacenter...

Crap how could I have missed this..

I already have a server with servermatrix and I am wanting to upgrade it to a larger server and would have done it as soon as I saw this post..

Crap, crap, crap. :(

Not to add insult to injury (since i didn't manage to complete the deal either...) but they never said anything about being a new customer.

Here's a quote from the original post:

If someone is interested, i want to transfer my SM server (you wouldn't have to pay the $99 setup neither the extra $20 monthly for Cpanel)


i've had a SM server for almost 2 months, in which i haven't been able to use it as i wanted, and the parts that worked could be something i could host in a shared server. I sent the cancellation and they said i should have done in 7 days in advance (so on saturday and not today).

the server features are these:

2.4 GHz celeron
80 GB drive
512 MB RAM
1000 GB bandwidth
Cpanel and Fantastico included
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3
Urchin 100 profiles
5 IP's
10 mbps uplink

I paid $99 for setup and is $79 montly (usually they charge $20 more for Cpanel/WHM monthly)

if someone wants it, would make me happy).

Thanks.

Has this offer expired?

I would very much like to go with it, but not only is it not working for me, but the prices on it don't even match the pages it links to anymore.

Again, I should stress that if a company posts a deal here, they should keep that dealupdated, or remove the information, or at least provide a link to a page on their site that lists the current deals. This could easily be deemed false or misleading advertising.

(Yes it has expired, but PLEASE edit the original post!)

Bah, I was really excited to move to ServerMatrix. I guess not now that they upped their prices.
