Anyone here using them? I have a reseller plan with them for 2.5 years now but they've recently been sold out to another company and I can't get a service ticket answered. Anyone else having any luck?

How long have you been waiting for a reply? Loretta 03-29-2006, 11:33 PM 13 days:bawling: Swelly 03-29-2006, 11:42 PM ouch that is quite a long time, have you tried calling? Do they offer a number to call or is it just email and tickets?

Maybe you can contact the "mother company" directly and ask them to help you out?

Funny, the domain's whois lists a fake phone number. http://www.whois.sc/vshosting.net kevn@hosterdirect 03-30-2006, 10:41 AM Do you know who bought them?

BrettB 03-30-2006, 11:48 AM Not always, although not having a working number can be troublesome (and may indicate that they're running a run-by-night host), but since you have been with them for 2.5 years, I doubt this is the case. As sugggested, try contacting the company who bought them (if known) and make sure that you do have working, recent backups just incase the server goes down and/or you need to move to a new host. ldcdc 03-30-2006, 01:26 PM All I conclude based on the fake phone number is that they don't follow ICANN regulations, which is not among the things one would expect of a host. I can understand forgetting to update the phone in case of a # change, but to willingly put a bogus number there... NotAfraid 03-31-2006, 06:08 PM Sounds like you'll be packing and moving to a new host. Good luck in your search! |
