Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Dedicated Server : The Hivelocity Nightmare - Service TERMINATED for SPAM

[ALEXEI_M]

<QUOT> Based on what I see from the OP and your own thread, they provided you with several months notice/attempts to work with you.

Regarding the "bad experience" with Hivelocity that you posted, it seems that they went above and beyond what other DC's would've done to get you your data...<sarcasm>yep, a real bad experience there</sarcasm>
</Quot>


Yes they inform me . But they did not gave me time at least 4-5 days to investigate my issue.

If it takes you 4-5 days to resolve an issue like that, you are going to have this problem with most hosts. It should take 24 hours at most and if it took 24 hours I would probably be angry at my administration team that I'd be paying for, for taking that long. I think your review has done you more harm than good. 4-5 days is putting numerous other clients that are on the same network at risk. Let me know to never use a provider you sign up for.

Good luck finding a host that will give you that much of a time frame. 24 hours seems to be the max that I normally see, and from what I see in Hivelocity's Legal documents, several areas indicate that your service can be terminated immediately in these cases (With no refund).

I quickly scanned the AUP and found two items that just jumped out at me regarding this post...and this is without even reading through the legal terms in the ToS or etc...

4-5 days...sorry don't think so. You should review the AUP/TOS/Master Agreement or etc before picking your next host and adhere to their rules.

It is indeed frustrating, and a very hard situation to be coming at.

I haven't got any refund either.

You're saying you were an innocent victim of the OP that was hosted on the same server as the spamming VPS and the OP hasn't provided you a refund? That's worthy of its own thread.

I understand how you feel op, but if you had a sysadmin he should be able to find the spammer and blocked it. either your sysadmin us not qualified enough or he dosent even know what he is a doing.

why would you even un-suspend the VPS? like other said you could had just mouted the files and look into it.

for me i would suspend the vps and terminate it, such spammers will not be allowed in my server

See my bad experience with Hivelocity

I didn't read all of it, but if your wife and kids are depending on one box, you've got your priorities wrong.

My take-away from this thread is that Hivelocity sounds like a stand-up company.

If you sign up a ROKSO spammer and don't immediately pull the plug on them when notified of such you have no one to blame but yourself.

If it takes you "4-5 days" to deal with a spamming customer? Your "admin" should probably find a new line of work.
