Hi Microfx,

I have just checked, everything is working fine, and I have received a few orders. Please hit the back button if possible, and make sure that you selected a plan, filled in all the required information, and clicked on the box for our TOS, SLA, and AUP. If still any problems, please e-mail me directly.

thank you,

what are your bandwidth providers?
how does your network look like? ;)

best regards,

I just wanted to say that Matt is a stand-up guy to work with. He is a hard worker and does what it takes to make each client happy. You cannot go wrong with NAC bandwidth and a good guy behind the wheel like Matt.

Good luck to you Matt and Congrats!
:D

Alareach,

Thank you very much, I hope I can live up to those wonderful accolades, I'll try my best.

BigWill,

Network page will be up shortly. The bw providers are 2 many to list, it's over 70 peering providers, going through our network. The URL, which will be up in an hour is http://dedicatednow.com/network/

Also, to those of you AIM'ing me, and everyone e-mailing me, I am leaving for the night, so I'll be back in the morning.

Thanks,

Will/do you have toll free support number?

so it's Pwebtech bandwidth, formerly known as DJCN? ;)
that'd be a nice mix!
best of luck for your offer.

best regards,

Looks like a really good offer.......

There is a number for only emergencies use but not for standard support which is email only, atm.

Price for extra GB usage?

Do you allow adult content?

IP to trace and ping...


Cheers and good luck

price per GB
1 is $1.50/GB
25 is $1.25/GB
100 is $1.10/GB

Yes, we allow legal adult content.

209.123.73.3 is a good ip to trace to.

I agree with Alareach 100% on this. My next server will be from Matt and DedicatedNOW.

Hi, may I know if these servers are fully managed? (am I asking for too much :D)

Way too much :D

But... ask and ye shall recieve :stickout:

James

There really is not true definition of managed so I will will say if you need support, email support@dedicatednow.com and you will get supported for 95% of your issues.

Just a NOTE: All the PIII we are currently going to be putting up for this special are PIII 1.2Ghz not PIII 1.13

Those are some awesome plans you have there :)

I'm curious if you have the option of possibly installing FreeBSD 4.7 or Red Hat 8.0

Also, what are your prices on selling CPanel licenses without a server (if you do offer this service).

Yes, we can offer FreeBSD and or Redhat 8 but a setup fee will be incured with those configs. As they are not part of our automated setup system, and will take some time to configure and install. For external cpanel liceses please email matt@pwebtech.com for more info.

Thanx

Greetings,

I placed an order for one of these babies, lets see how it turns out :D Pwebtech seems to have a good reputation, so that put a little faith into my purchase decision.

One thing that worries me is the lack of a reply to the order I sent in. Even if automated, it gives me some peace of mind that they received my order or that I didn't just send in my CC information to some (sl)hacker.:crap:

Anyway, regards.

-K2rbka

Haha, no, this is a rough order system, and isn't fully user freindly yet, i.e. replys that we recieved it, etc.. etc.. Soon we will have a rackshack like auto setup system

Is this the Matthew McCormick from Dialtone/Burst? Wow!

Yes, it is.

What is your hourly rate for tech support, if it's something not automatically covered? For example, if I wanted Imagemagick installed, what would you charge?

Something like that we wouldn't bother to charge you for installation. It is 3 rpms really easy we even have a script which you can d/l and have it install itself.

Support out of scope is $75 an hour billed in 15min inctrements 30min min.

How is billing done? If I order today, am I billed on the 8th of every month, or do you prorate then go by calendar month?

You will be billed monthly the day your sever goes online.

In case it wasn't mentioned remote reboot one time fee of $50.

Forgive me, I'm a novice. But does that mean that if my server is frozen and I can't get into WHM to reboot it myself, then you would charge $50 for the reboot? Or would you only charge to reboot if it wasn't inaccessible? Or is this something else entirely?

Also, I have a question about the additional RAM fee. Is the one-time fee (with no set-up fee) only applicable during the initial setup of the server ? Or if I order the upgrade later on, would there be a setup fee along with the one time fee?

$50 one time fee enabled you to power cycle your box to fix that frozen server anytime day or night without having to call or email us.

There is no charge for reboots ever.

Ram is either onetime or setup and monthly. The pricing is listed on our website at www.dedicatednow.com/dedicated/

Very nice deals!

I want to ask some questions about the bandwidth:
- is the 500 GB bandwidth based on actual usage?
- is it fully burstable up to 100 Mbps (uncapped)?
- is MRTG stat installed?
- is this DCJN or NAC?

Actual usage, fully burstable to 100Mbps, MRTG can be included, but we are workign on a killer managment application which can do alot more than just MRTG :) Also it is DCJN, which is basically NAC Transit with some minor differences. Still has all 100 Plus peers which is what makes NAC great!!

Thanks for the quick reply! :D

Is there any test file available to test the download speed?

speed.dedicatednow.com/uumap.tar.Z

Thanks for all of your information. I've just placed my order :)

Order recieved, thanx..

We will be contacting you tomorrow or saturday.

Originally posted by SuzanneB

I got a file not found! Is the URL correct?

try mehost.com/uumap.tar.Z same network

Sooner or later will you be able to provide bandwidth usage stats by the MB/GB? Something that works though, unlike RackShack's :p

We can do that right now.

Do you setup software RAID1?
How much is onetime fee / monthly fee?

Nice offer:))))

and the website is very nice...I suggest to build a forum where members can exchange ideas etc

:)

I have read, understand and agree to all terms stated in the TOS, SLA, and AUP. (Required)
(Order will not be processed unless this is checked)

Your SLA and AUP pages are down, how can someone agree to that?

Hi, pages are back up now.

Thanks,

Thanks for the test file. I can get 1.2 MB/s from Verio. That's as good as I can get from my Webreseller server. Very impressive.

Do you also provide other OS and CP's.
And what about the upgrades....

i got 4,6mb/s from servint ... very impressive ;)
though your only 10ms away :)
if i'd need a dedicated right now, i'll get get one from you ...
but maybe in the future! :)

greets,

Pretty good results, except from Rackshack :confused:

Do you also provide other OS and CP's.

We will install RH 7.3 by default, any other OS installation would incur our standard hourly support charges of $75 per hour billed in 1/2 hour increments. As for Control Panels, we are only offering cPanel at this time, but you are always welcome to install the CP of your choice.

Thanks,

Could you answer SuzanneB's questions, please? I want to know too.

-Eric.

Is it possible to get some small 9GB SCSI 10K RPM disc instead os that 60 GB one? Or I'm asking for too much?

Certainly, my apologies, the additional services, including RAM, HD's, remote reboots, etc. those prices are constant. Should you order the upgrade later on, you will have the option of either a one-time fee, or a setup and monthly fee, the choice will be yours.

Please use dial up with the modem 56K :))

astraler2k, I think all servers will be ready on Nov 15th (next week).

This the best offer I have seen for a while......... made an order for plan 2 ...... :D

from the ad.


We are currently accepting pre-sales at this point for a release date of 11/15/02.

Hi,

Before there's any misunderstanding, these servers will not be setup until the 15th. Prior to the "pre-launch" special, we had a few customers, that assisted us, and took boxes, so that we could coordinate mass production / support / and all other necessary departmental functions w/out hindering our level of service when these servers are released. I have made some exceptions to deploying servers early if people are in binds, and have to move, however, I cannot guarantee early delivery to anyone prior to the 15th, other that to those who have contacted me. On the order page I also had it noted that these servers would not be delivered until the 15th, JIC anyone had missed it. If there was any confusion, please contact me directly, and I will try to assist anyone that I can.

Thanks,

Yes they are real good packages.....Plan 2 being the best. :)

Great offers. Just ordered one P4 box.

-Eric.

If I place an order now, will I be billed only on the 15th?

I just want to be absolutely certain and make sure I'm clear

If I purchase a server today, I will not be billed until November 15 (when I get my server), correct?

As far as I know, you will be billed on the day your server goes online.

Excellent, I'll take your word for it :)

Correct, you will be billed the day of or the day before your server goes online.



Originally posted by JonL

I placed my order last night and received this email from Matt this morning:

This is just a reply template I just wanted you to know that we
have received your order, and that we will be billing these this morning to guarantee your server setup, if there are any problems, and we will contact you immediately. You will receive an e-mail later on once your billing account is setup and active, with a user/password. We appreciate your patronage, and look forward to serving your hosting needs. All servers will begin the monthly recurring billing upon setup. Future orders will be billed and setup within 24 hours, but for the pre-launch special as noted, they will be setup for the 15th. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly.


I'm ok with this, and I realize that there will be a little bit of confusion when starting up a new service. But I thought I'd mention it so everyone can be prepared for charges.

That email didnt really make much sense to me. Seemed like he was contradicting himself!

Can someone from dedicatednow/pwebtech clarify the billing issue? Thanks!

SuzanneB, just so you know we are trying to get most of the boxen that came in yesterday up tomorrow. We are going to try, but that is why we said the 15th ;)

I ordered a server, but your page still shows 18 servers remaining, so Im wondering if my order went through?

Can you confirm?

PM me with your name. the ticketer is not automated yet.

How hard will it be to get an add on drive and the remote reboot later. I ordered a server this morning to get in on the no setup deal but will not be using it really until near the end of the month. Once I start putting customers on it I will want a back up drive added and the reboot.

It will be very easy to add those features later, just email sales@dedicatednow.com and matt will assist you in getting that going when you are ready. Your server will be down for about 15min, while the ugprade is performed and the server is moved to a rack with remote reboot.

Super.. I also sent you guys an email on colo pricing and aa couple of other questions, the form on the web site would not work. So if you run accross that please give me a quote.

What's with the [$299 $0 Setup] line? Is this some shady way of screwing you later on saying there is a $299 fee that you may get hit with? If it is $0 Setup, then just put [$0 Setup]. I was going to order, but I'm very uncomfortable with that line on the form.

NP

Norton - the $299 is the "regular" setup fee for the servers - but for their grand opening they are having a no setup fee special - hence the $0.

The way I read it is there is normally a $299.00 setup which has been waved for this special and once the number of servers avaliable reaches 0 on this pre opening offer it will go back to the $299.00 setup.

I am sure Matt or Jayglate will correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think there is anything shady going on.

Pwebtech has been around a while they do not do business like that.

Is the P4 using DDR or SDRAM?

well I'd really sign up immediately... if the IP addresses were not so expensive :(

I know you have to earn some money but really.... is there no way to get cheaper IP addresses? some competitors (which have a good reputation as pwebtech in here) do offer unlimited free ip addresses (I have to fill out the arin form).

Are you going to change this policies... or will 10 ips cost $5 per month... always?

thanks!

I've ordered a server and was wondering, am I suppose to recieve a confirmation email? :confused:

These ip's aren't expesive some competitors charge you $1 per ip with arin justification, we are charging $5 per block of 10 with ARIN justification. realalien, it seems this offer is coming to a close pretty soon, as we have already exceed the amount of servers we were going to offer at this price. So by monday, if you havn't acted excpect the setup fee's to return.

No, you are not supposed to recieve a confirmation, confiramtions will be sent out manually when matt comes back on monday.

Yeah, IPs are expensive but then again they're cheaper than some places like rackshack. I wish they were free though, like a lot of other places.

Well, a P4 server with 500 GB quality bandwidth for $119 with free setup. I guess they have to make some money, too :)
50 cents seems fair to me.

Yeah, $75 for a class C block is not too bad.

Yea, I wouldn't mind paying 75/month. I'm actually considering it :)

Hi,
Could you please list all software versions with all options that will be installed by default?

CPANEL ?
Linux ?
PHP ?
ISAPI Module
Not in SAFE_MODE
With zlib
ImageMagick?
MySQL ? with phpmyadmin?
mod_gzip & PHPAccelerator if possible ?
PostgreSQL ?
Perl ? and Mod_Perl ?
Apache ?
Sendmail ?
ProFTPD ?
Bind ?
GnuPG ?
Mailman with Majordomo?
Openssl ?
Frontpage ?
Imap ?
gd ?
Python ?
Python2 ?
Tomcat ? with JDK ?
Webmail ?
Stats ?
Imagemagjik

Please list others not listed ?

Also, do you offer help in moving our files from our old server to this new one?

All the below come standard with cpanel except

Imagemagjik
mod_gzip
tomcat

All of which can be installed easily. Cpanel has updated the move script per our request, and is now more functional than ever we would suggest using that with our guidance.

Man you are fast!:eek:
I have never used Cpanel so I am not familiar with the move script, can you explain?

Also, can webmin be installed along with cpanel. I am familiar with webmin & could use it for referrence(see what cpanel is doing)?????
I have ordered by the way! Plan 2

Ok, so you currently are using another platform? Say for how many sites? I wouldn't suggest webmin and cpanel, webmin might interperate things not well, never did it, maybe someone has an opinion on that. But depending on the complexity of your current infrastructure, the move might be free or might incur an hourly fee, please email matt@pwebtech.com, to discuss further.

Done!
Thanks,,,,,,,,

he he! yea I just ordered one of your servers too! Looking forward to getting in there. :D

I reckon Cpanel is the best I have used so far. Better than Plesk or Webmin by miles. It is ideal for newbies and those who aren't to familiar with NIX. Has every function you could want, and it seems to be good and stable and pretty secure too. I recommend it, and I only ordered my server through dedicatedNOW because they use Cpanel.

This is a great deal. I just hope it's all as good as every one is making it out to be!

After a month of being messed about by others, I hope this is the one, and I might be able to start getting some work done again, instead of sitting arround waiting for non existant servers to be setup, and then haveing to chase arround for refunds.

Your demo url isn't working, Could you check on it?
I would really like to see a demo of the cpanel.
Does it have admin, reseller & domain adminisrtator panels?

Go to www.cpanel.net they have a demo of cpanel there, but I don't think they have a demo of Web Host Manager which comes as part of the package.

And yes it has admin, reseller and client. Web Host Manager is the admin panel. From there you can set-up reseller panels and client panels, and you can make your own custom skins too I think, if you can be bothered.

what would the regular setup fee be for the servers?

According to their website $299 & $399......

Hello,

Is there anyway that we can pay for the block of IPs just one time? Like a one-time fee or something??

i noticed that all the serious / bigger web hosts on here are not taking this deal up.. wonder why ;)

ordered a p4 just now :)

You look to have a very strong network.

Do you setup the name server config? I ordered it with WHM/Cpanel and I'm not sure how to setup the name server stuff in WHM. Kinda new to dedicated servers.

How is the offer still going?

Can you clarify the "paid support" to do almost everything (even stuff RS support does for free)?

How long to setup?

On the nameserver issue. Can the domain name be paired with the nameservers?

example: thisdomain.com for domain

and nameservers

ns1.thisdomain.com
ns2.thisdomain.com

3 IP's in total using 1 domain name

On a side note, I did put an order in for a P4. I'm currently a reseller with another company that I've had very good service with, but feel it is time to move to dedicated, and your price beats theres, and I have heard good thing about pwebtech over the years on this board, and on SitePoint, so we'll give it a shot.:)

Thanks

Do you offer any firewall services?

We will support 95% of our support issues, paid issues are similiar to rackspaces paid issues.

Thanks!

That is exactly how it is done. Thanx for trying us out.

upon signing up, are you commiting to a certain contract legnth for these prices. All seems great, but with new company I hate to commit for 1 year if I am not sure of the quality.

Thanks,
Rob

Well,

Blind faith.

pweb seems to have a decent reputation but I couldnt seem to get any answers for a few questions... so I ordered on the basis of the "good word" of users in this forum and the info provided in this thread.

I'm confused about a few issues but hopefully answers will be forthcoming as we move towards setup.

Crossing my fingers when it comes to a business decision is not a move that is comfortable for me...I hope this goes well.....:)

if I choose cpanel, how many domains I can host?
or what kind of the license. how any doamins?

You can host unlimited domains/sites!

cool.
I have joined, when I will have a reply?

Probably by the 15th if there are no delays!

You can use webmin or hsphere provided by us, or you can instlal plesk, or ensim yourself.

There is no contract period, and we are hardly a new company. We have been around since 1997, which is older than most of the companies here on WHT and in this industry.

Thanks,

Remeber all Monday at noon est time. No more orders for free setup will be accepted. Any orders placed after that time will be charged a setup fee.

A quick question, is it possible to install Plesk (with my own license) with this server?

Yes, you can! But Im not sure if you want them to install it and/or whether they will install it for you. But theoretically yes, plesk can be installed!

Yes, it is.

I want them to install Plesk 5.0 on this server and after it's ready, I'll just log-in and install the license myself and do the rest. So is this possible, Jay?

Maybe, we dont' have the binaries to plesk 5.0 But we will see what we can do .

You can simple download from plesk.com :D

Will someone with absolutely no experience with either linux or dedicated servers be able to use the server without paying extra for support?

sorry for not reading everything, perhaps you did already reply to this question. is there a minimum contract time?

note: your formmail script is not working ;)

I believe there's no minimum contact time. It's a monthly basis.

If you have no experience with linux or dedicated servers, then a dedicated server is not for you. Support comes for small issues, but you're generally expected to know a little bit about linux when you order an unmanaged server.

There are plenty of resources available to get you started on linux and server management:

http://www.linuxnewbie.org
http://www.linuxhelp.net/guides

A search for "Linux Help" on Google should also help you.

:D

Good Monday Morning All,

Confirmation receipts have been sent to all orders received from Friday afternoon until today. We appreciate all of the patronage shown by WHT members, and look forward to working with all of you. If you have not received a confirmation e-mail this AM, please e-mail me directly.

Thank you,

Matt / Jay,

I was about to order my box but i saw ur post saying the $0 setup was over. I want to order but could not afford to pay $299 setup, pls let me know if u have one for me.

Viv

Jay,

I did place my order as i could see "Pre Sales Offer - 5 hours left".

Pls contact me.

Thanks,
Viv
Thank you! Your Order has been sent! - If you chose Paypal or Check/MO Payment options.. a sales rep will be contacting you shortly for further instructions.

Jay,

Are the HDD prices for getting a secondary HDD installed?

Can i get a secondary HDD at the same one time price of $140 if i decide to upgrade this sometime down the line.

also you demo link is non-functional.

So noon is the cutoff for this wonderful special ?

Yes, you can choose either a one-time fee, or a setup and recurring monthly fee on HD's. These will be available in the future, and do not necessarily need to be ordered at the initial time of setup.

The 12PM EST cutoff time is final, basically giving me time to reply to all sales inquiries from the weekend. We have anticipated the volume of sales, and all servers will be setup by the 15th as promised, but the sale pricing definitely ends now in 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Thanks,

Quick Update,

the $0 setup sale is over now. We will begin accepting orders for fulfillment on 11/18/02 as we are working on all the orders that came in for this grand opening special. Thanks to all for your input and feedback, and we look forward to assisting you in the future.

Sincerely,

Matt,

I got your confirmation email, so i hope my order with $0 setup is in there.

Viv

Hi

Will you have a support forum in this new WebSite (Dedicatednow.com) for your clients to talk, exchange ideas etc.?
I think that would be great ......

thanks

:)

Just wanted to verify if you received my order?

A support forum would be great. I think it would also lower your support work as other DedicatedNOW customers could help each other ;)

Semaj: I believe you should have recieved an email.

I just made the deadline. I really look forward to working with Matt again.

I hope there wont be any delay in getting the servers now! Id hate that especially since Ive already been billed!

Don't worry, I believe they're going to do their best not to disappoint their pre-sale customers on their grand opening on Nov 15th :cool:

Well in two more days we will know. Right?

My CC was also billed for the server, but I also received a email explaining what was to happen.

Who sent you the email? I haven't heard anything except for the first confirmation email. What did they say was to happen?

John

I got the same Initial email as you. I think

I just checked my CC and it hasn't been charged as yet.

John

Hi All,

Just wanted to clarify some things real quick for everyone. Servers will absolutely be deployed on or before 11/15/02, as we will do anything and everything possible to make certain there are no delays.

We are working on a support forums, as a lot of people have shown an interest in this, so we will happily comply, it just may take a few weeks to setup properly, but I will notify all clients of it when available.

When I received orders (except over the weekend as I was not here) I replied back to each order individually letting people know that we had received the order. Upon setup of servers, welcome letters will go out, and you will have your login information to the billing systems. Inadvertently, I sent out a message that people would get their billing info first, but that won't happen until the server goes online.

For anyone who PM's me, I apologize, I have not had time to go through them yet, and have been answering e-mails and AIM's most of the day, please e-mail me directly at matt@pwebtech.com so that I can assist anyone with questions.

If I missed anything, please do let me know.

Thanks to everyone,

Really? I was billed on the same day I ordered or the very next day.

I got a confirmation email after ordering, but I haven't been billed yet either. Maybe they process the payment when the server actually goes live. I have sent an email to support a day ago, but no reply yet. I really do hope that I actually have got a server coming!! :confused:

I figured out what happened, there was a problem with the CC, I guess I entered the number wrong and the billing wouldn't go through. Talked to Jackie in Billing and she got it all fixed.

Hope to have a server by the end of the week!

John

Sold Out?? No way...I want to get one.

Pay $299 or $399 setup fee and you can get one.;)

-Eric.

Glad to see others in my boat....I was under the impression that I would be billed when the server went on-line....instead, I was billed the day I placed my order....no problem, it just had me worried for a moment.....Just out of curiousity, when will be billed next month...on the anniversary of the order or the anniversary of the servers going on-line?

Well I am just glad that I have been billed now. I was woried it might not go through and that I would loose my server! It's unusual to be glad that I have been billed!!

I imagine they have billed us before setting the servers up to avoid getting stung. Makes sense. I should think the rebills will be "on the anniversary of the order" or the first billing date. Give or take a few days.

Well the box should be ready tomorow if not before. I am looking forward to it! :)

Yeah, I'm also excited to get the server :cool:

It's been a long time since I haven't tried CPanel, so I hope it's much stable and reliable now.

Well today is the 14th... meaning Friday is the 15th.

Time is drawing near. Excitement is mounting.

Deer Season opens on Friday ... WAIT

Im confused.. hunt or wait for server...

Hmm think I will wait for server.

:)

LOL

I hope it is going to be worth the wait!

I am getting so excited my colostomy bag keeps coming loose. I am getting skid marks in my vest!! :)

No go hunt! But dont forget to carry your laptop and bluetooth enabled cell phone. :D

Hey guys,

Would just like to say that i am looking forward to being neighbors with you all in the new DedicatedNow venture.

Good luck to Matt on this new line, and hope we can all build a good community on the DedicatedNow site when it is all made available to us.

Yep I will drink to that.

Have HP laptop, Motorola Cell, and .44 Marlin hunting rifle.

Wonder how I could explain that to the friendly DNR Officer.

You are testing some top-secret software that works much like a fish finder, but finds deer....and makes sure they are legal.

Will I be able to give the cpanel interface to our clients with this dedicatednow server?

Originally posted by gilberto_a

Yes, if you opt for the cpanel control panel for an additional $19.95/month.

I would like to know what your setup fee will be after the 15th and when you expect more servers.

Originally posted by ozdesign

$299 and $399 respectively as given on their web site!

Thanks lezzer. I am also waiting that why I asked. I can't wait to have this box.

The excitement is building... I don't know how much longer I an take it :D

lol

They told me all boxes will be up at the latest by 9 PM EST tonight!

Thanks for the info, WebHozt! :D

Anyone know off the top of their heads what 9 PM EST is in GMT? :rolleyes:

Thanks Jim. Looks like another late night then. :(

Bummer, I was hopin it'd be up before 8:00EST tonight... now i'm gonna be worrying about it while I'm out @ a party :( ... oh well, more excitement! lol

We are going to start sending out welcome letters with your box info. PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOGIN TO THE BOXES UNTIL 8PM OTHERWISE YOU CAN CAUSE HARM TO THE INSTALLATION AND INCUR A REINSTALLATION FEE OF $300.

$300? Thats steep! :(

BTW 8PM what? GMT? EST? CST? IST?

Yeah its steep we don't want you to mess with the boxen. And 8PM EST STD TIME.

Thanx All.

This is confusing. Why not send out the login information after the servers are ready to login to?

I guess it is 8.00pm EST as it is now 9.00pm GMT. Now I have to work out the time difference so that I don't incure a wopping $300 charge!! :confused:

Sure hope they mention that at the top of the emails....how many peeps are gonna come back here to read that.

Originally posted by wsdhnet

I think they have enough common sense to do that! :D

E-mails were just sent out to all clients awaiting their servers alerting them to this important information. They will receive this letter at or before they receive their welcome letter. As expected we sold an enormous amount of servers, and this has turned into a team effort to get all boxes up as promised for our launch date. We well exceeded the initial product offering, but because of the response, we allowed the sale of a few more. It would take too much time for one individual to send out letters once all boxes were complete, and we wanted to give customers a chance to update their registrars ASAP with any information they needed to. I also sent out an update letter last night explaining the situation, and that customers would be required to wait until a specific time to login to the boxes.

If anyone has any questions, please contact me directly.

Thanks all to your continued support,

Sincerely,

We are sending a mass email out to all clients now.

hmmmm I don't argree with this msg :D I will login server anytime I get info in Welcome letter :beer:

At $300 a pop I think it would be a good idea to agree with it! :dunce:

Got my email!

Many thanks to Matt and Jay. Looking forward to a long and successful relationship.

John

Yes I will second that. (if no one else has beeten me to it!) I look forward to logging in in a few hours time. So near, yet so far!!! :yawn:

I have yet to get any email either confirmation, billing or login .....
Please let me know something.......

You should contact Matt directly via email and he will get it fixed for you.

John

I got mine earlier... I'm so tempted to login hehe... Oh well, only 2 hours 45 minutes and 40 seconds to go..

You should contact Matt directly via email and he will get it fixed for you.

What Now?

I had a similar problem a few days ago, so I emailed him from another address, and he replied saying that he had already replied to the original address a couple times. So it might be worth sending him an email from another domain email address. Just a thought. Good luck!

Well, maybe Matt or Jay will see your post and find out what is wrong.

John

Just wanted to check... Has everyone received there login information yet and waiting to log in to their servers?

My login info hasnt arrived yet. :(

Am staying awake though until i can check it out... it will be 2am here in the UK. lol

If you have not recieved your welcome email .. please email support@dedicatednow.com
with your name and your servers name.

Hi Jay

When everything is ready, please let us know here. That would help non-US customers login to their boxes without worrying about $300 reinstallation fee.

-Eric.

well only 50 mins to go then. They did say that everyone would have got thier login info and welcome email by 9pm EST / 2am GMT, so if you haven't had it in 50 mins, I would get in touch with them.

I think I will wait until after 2am GMT just to make sure I don't get that $300 bill chucked at me! Maybe they might send out an email and give the ok to go aead.

Well not long now. Wonder if I can stay sober!! :buck:

Personally, I never do anything to my computer after 9pm. Everytime I have screwed up a computer it has been after 9pm when I am tired and not paying attention.

I can wait until tomorrow...

John

Yes avoid logging into a remote server when you are inebriated or stoned! That's a good bit of advice, but sadly if you are reading this while inebriated or stoned, you are unlikely to remember it! :homer:

Isnt it time now? I tried to ping the server and I keep getting either 100% packet loss or 50% packet loss at best! :( Havent tried logging in yet, just thought Id give it a little while more.

5 minutes past 9pm eastern and my root pass doesn't work :eek:

My root pass doesnt work too! Also it is very slow, I type root for username and had to wait for about 3 whole minutes before it prompted me for password. And after that password wouldnt work! :(

Not looking good!

Yea, my ping times are pretty random hehe. 85ms, 95ms 120ms...pretty big range...

My CPanel login doesn't even exist :(

Matts not online! Ive sent an email to support! Hope to hear from them soon!

Originally posted by JonL

Yup, looks like cpanel hasnt been installed yet! I dont care about that, I can do it myself as long as they get my IP added to darkorbs valid license db.

It's possible the servers aren't quite ready. They might not have changed our root passwords because they are working on getting our servers up still and they might not have installed CPanel because like I said, they are still working on the servers. Just my thoughts ;)

Hmmm not good. Just getting a DNS error. Maybe they aren't ready yet. :crap:

Yeah, looks like they arent ready yet! But it looks like theyre working on the issue since now I get an average of 45-55ms ping times. Going for a cig break, hopefully all will be ready by the time I get back!

Yes, my pings are much more stable, 85ms and 84ms :)

Yay! progress ;)

Nah, I chain smoke! :( Been without one since 8.45 PM EST and seeing the servers arent ready yet, might as well.

I'm getting pretty ansy myself as it's almost 30 minutes past 9pm eastern. I was really excited too, kind of killed the suspense :stickout:

I'm not too worried because I don't need my server right away but I would like to get in the instant it's up so that I can secure it properly because I'm paranoid ;)

I chain smoke too. Is this a common thing with people who lease servers from dedicatedNow?

I am a bit woried about this. Still not getting in. Maybe it is because they are just getting going. Or.... maybe we have all been done! I bloody hope not!! :bawling:

Yes! They work now! Yay!

Not mine. :(

Sorry :(

Just know that they ARE getting them up so have hope!

9:50pm and I get DNS error when trying to connect to my Server.

Hmmmmmmm

I was able to get in and cpanel also looks installed, but they screwed up the partition structure, even though I had specifically requested custom partitions! :( And I had paid for an additional 512 MB RAM for a total 1 GB, but my system shows only 512 MB total. :(

Hope theyll fix all this soon!

Mine is up an running and I am going thru WHM now setting everything up.

I am sure yours will be ready soon.

Man it does not take the hack robots long does it?

I'm in now :)

I also wanted to install Tomcat (for JSP). What is the best way to install it, I know that cPanel as some options for it, but wanted to know what your experience has been. What is the easiest way, basically.

I would suggest you create a separate thread in the "Technical" forum for such issues!

Can't get into mine. Will try in the a.m.

Anyone know if they installed firewall and chkrootkits?

John

Can't get into mine either.

They missed the target date (opening date ?!).

Do we get something back in return? ;)

Nope, they had a user called "jason" though :eek:

:confused: :eek: :rolleyes:

who else still does not have access. My ping times seem good, and cpanel and WHM answer, it is just not accepting my password.

Thanks,
Rob

Im in.

Good Pings!!!!!

I like it so far.

Thanks

I'm not in either....can't get WHM to come up. It is something with my home ISP...dedicatednow.com won't come up for me :(

Looks like there is an outage in Illinois....

I received my login information about 10:30PM this evening Its now 12:15 AM on 11-16-02 and still isnt up, they must be over loaded :(

Tom

P.S

I will update all when it goes up but Im going to bed now so will check in the morning

Woohoo....our servers are up ;)
