anybody hosted their dedicated server with webreseller.net?

how good is their support?

I have been hunting for their server for the last 2 weeks but it always sold out.

They absolutely kick ass. We got a P4 server and it was set up within 24 hours. They responded to problem tickets in a matter of minutes. Overall the machine is working extremely well and their speed is fantastic.

helpful, great network and fast server. They tried their best to help you, but sometimes when dealing with ensim webppliance, their support cannot satisfy me... i know that's not their fault though :)

I'd like to get a box from them and mirror another server for backup purposes. Now if I could only figure out how to mirror accross datacenters. :)

Heres an idea for you aussiebob:

Create a crontab that gzips/tars all the folders u want to mirror (probably /home & /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf), then get the script to ftp the zip over to the other server, which then 2 hours later executes a croned script which extracts the files to its local disk.

TADA mirroring via any datacentre

Id laugh so much if you actually implemented this ;)

Whats the new special and can plesk be an upgrade?

We can not mention what the specials will be, but if you wanted to upgrade to plesk there would be a fee involved, not sure what that will be...

We are not offering systems without a control panel as of yet..

I have been with webreseller for over 4 months. They have been great. The support is always there when needed. Any queries are always answered in a timely manner. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone looking for hosting.:D

hope this helps

Not a problem.....I wouldn't think it would be offered without a fee to upgrade to Plesk. I just wanted to know what it would so I could think on it....and have my mind made up when Plesk is being offered. :)

Okay, I just got my P4 server from Webreseller. The server and the network are very fast. I contacted support several times about DNS configuration and installing kernel and software updates. They got them installed within 24 hours.

One thing that I don't like is they don't provide MRTG stat like my other server providers do. I mean how hard it is to install MRTG? Without MRTG, how can I check my actual bandwidth usage? Well, I hope this would change their mind :)

all i can say is that webreseller is a top notch hosting provider. I do not have enough good things to say about their staff who really helped me out when I was in a bind. I agree with twrs though and wish that they would install mrtg so we can monitor our traffic because I'm not sure how reliable the stats are in WHM. But if I had to make the decision on what hosting provider to choose, it would be webreseller all the way.

Good luck in whatever decision you make.

It is very easy to install a MRTG graph on your own for future reference. Though I do think it would be a added feature.

For the past month, I believe it's 100% uptime...

So far for me it started out great.....about 100% but I had to server down times.....once during the week....somehow (this is what I was told)the power for my server knock loose....after I talked to support through their Live Support....it was fixed in about ten mins.

Then another downtime......and after I tried to reboot and that failed...I put a support ticket in and in a matter of 15 to 20mins my server was back on running great. I didn't get from them what the problem was but this was on the weekend a Saturday as well.

So about 99 to 98% uptime ...so far.



Hope this helps.....
