If its not directly ezzi's responsibility to give you support then you shouldnt be using them but your own reseller instead.

Server4Sales offers Free Server Management, I saw that on an offer they had here, let me dig it up....

These servers are located in Ezzi Newyork Data center.
Unmanaged. Basic Support and upgrades/security patches kernel updates etc can be provided for NO additional cost.

AmD XP1700 , 512MB RAM, 40GB HD , 5IPS , 2000GB Transfer , 100Mbps port , Price= $60
AmD XP1800 , 512MB RAM, 40GB HD , 5IPS , 2000GB Transfer , 100Mbps port , Price= $60
AmD XP2100 , 512MB RAM, 40GB HD , 5IPS , 2000GB Transfer , 100Mbps port , Price= $65
OS=FreeBSD,Fedora,RedHat
Cpanel = $25 , Remote Reboot = $10 ,Windows WEB=$25,STD=$35


First off, Server4Sale gets Special prices from Ezzi.net. Why do they get this better price? Because Server4Sale must take care of their customers and Ezzi won't have to pay someone to help you, in this way Ezzi makes money and the Reseller makes money but they have to support their Clients.

First mistake you did was Contacting Ezzi, Since you got a Server from Server4Sale where is their "24/7 LIVE CHAT with our Dedicated Managed Server Department Techs." that is directly quoted from their Offer from Ezzi ;)

I don't see why Ezzi is bad because you contacted them and they didn't wanted to help you since your 24/7 Server Reseller should help you instead of them. :rolleyes: IMO

i am not using any management service
but server4sale helped me too much thumbs up for them they are good company

i just asked resolver config problem to ezzi

think like that management or unmanagement is not important

i dont know how is your management goes but when you start a job and broke it you need to fix it this is that easy

i didnot want to ezzi to manage my server thanks i have lots of friends to manage my server.(one of them will fix again)

but what i want to say if a company behaves like this
like acccusing its customers being liar or cheater
it is not acceptable.

may be it can be normal for you but i never be accused as a cheater in my life.

and dont tell these things like unmanaged i had dedicated servers since 98 and i have 10s of them now also.

i of course now difference between managed and unmanaged but when you got a server and it dont resolves you can easily ask your provider what can be the problem

p.s the password i have given between this transcript donot work(dont waste your time to try it:))

A mod should just close this thread before it gets out of hand.

Making reviews is one thing. Slander is something else. Ezzi has nothing to do with this thread..

Server4Sale can help you in this case. The problem you have is that Resolv.conf in /etc/ is not correctly Configured. Ezzi is not like Ev1 that *MIGHT* help you.

I understand but if Server4Sale helped you in the past whats the problem in asking them to fix this "stupid" issue. Seriously, Search around Ev1servers.net Forums about Resolver.conf file and you will know what to do, If S4S doesn't know tell them to dig that up too :D (jk)

Besides, Resolv.conf is inside your server configuration, Ezzi is an Un-Managed Server Provider, they only give you the Network, The Hardware, the Power and you must sail by yourself. It is not Nocster.

You must contact Server4Sale for all issues, not Ezzi. Ezzi has Server4Sale as the customer, and can only do things with their authorization. I'm sure that Server4sale can fix this issue for you very quickly.

I dont mean to sound rude. But perhaps if you spoke english fluently, you would have gotten across the message a bit clearer to the tech. Granted his last comment is inappropriate, the rest isn't too bad. You're contacting a company that has nothing to do with your account for assistance (you're not even their customer), they've given you assistance, and apparently troubleshooted the wrong item (looks like they were mucking with your named config). This obviously wouldn't have happened if they had understood your request the first time through.

You spoke my thoughts porcupine, very well said. ;)

Had I been "Chris" of ezzi, I would have exploded at the end at such a disrespectful and, yes, rude customer who expected me to help him until hell freezes over, not to mention he was not my direct customer.

Perhaps you should try to get your message across better, as it was very hard to even understand what the whole point of this thread is, not to mention I don't see where he was rude, but I do see where you were. ;)

Yet another misinformed and, ironically rude customer. How many must we have around here? :D

Wow..... Didnt realise this will turn out to be like this... Well let me get few things straight.

From the start. This client has more then 1 server from us. (nocster)
Clients requested for DA @ Ezzi, we told him already it wont be supported by us. nor ezzi however he still wants it . Well installed etc etc.
Client contacted us this morning DNS is messed up and dont like to resolve and has a very important domain which is already propagated to these ips. Ok I asked one of my Managed Dept tech to see if he can help him... (not guaranteed) Well cris (one of OUR server admin) did IM with him and resolved the dns issue.
I was off after handing him over the client contact info as i had to go some where. Now i got back there was an email from CHRIS explaining that one of the client contacted and he has that issue and he try to accuse us for messing up DNS etc etc. I simply reply him I dont expect EZZI to help them besides REBOOT and SPeed issue from live chat. And this client already had DNS issue (That was before i talk to my admins and client). Then client msged me and i asked one of my admins to work on it again and he fixed dns issue and at the very moment working on resolver issue. I was just told by them its fixed. Problem was empty /var/named/root.hints file.
Any way all the issues are resolved.

Francisco: Just FYI our managed servers department is COMPLETELY different then standard server and have seprate helpline then our standard. I cant say much about it here cause of the rules.... But that does have its own COST :)


In the end i think the client is at fault here. However the last line by CHRIS is not so Professional...

However the last line by CHRIS is not so Professional... I would like to say that Chris did his job. The way i see it Chris was not rude, he was stating his opinion in relation to the situation. Chris's job is here not to be abused. If Chris knew from the very beginning that zagadka was not a direct customer of Ezzi.net he would of not helped zagadka.

And in the end zagadka would of come on these forums with another thread saying something like Ezzi.net techs are stupid they will not help me out.

Come on people get a life.

yeah, I must also agree..... Ezzi.net should not be blamed for this as you bought your server elsewhere.

The only problem I see here is that the thread starter should not have been contacting EZZI to begin with, as he is not an EZZI customer. It also appears that Chris went above and beyond his responsibilities by trying to fix the issues after being given the root password. The only blame here rests on the thread starter.

I believe the thread starter should post an apology, and the name of the thread should be changed to more appropriately fit the situation.

I also agree with the last comment Chris made before closing the chat. ;)

I second this.

The following should also be duely noted:
- The thread starter has hid his name from being posted (that is why we keep having to call him "The thread starter" :P).

Also, this thread should be closed, either that or the topic should be changed to "Go with Ezzinet because their support representitives don't take crap from people who arent their direct customers and go complain to the support representitives then come post on WHT for sympathy" (Too bad it's a little too big :P)

Chris has always been helpful to me. He is a good guy. I seriously cannot see him saying the last line although I do sympathize with him in this instance.

sounds like another case of someone not knowing how to manage the server and because of it, blaming the company who strictly outlines, unmanaged. go and spend more than sixty per month and get some management, otherwise you can't complain.

I Speak to Chris constantly, and he is anything but what you have described. He is always willing to help me regardless fo what my questions are.

I also resell EZZI's services, and none of our clients go to EZZI for support.

If you resell someone else's services, you shouldn't expect your provider to support your clients, and your client's clients etc
