    REVIEW: 24x7ServerManagement.com - My Bad Experience

    Normally I don't even bother with telling my bad experiences...they happen...and usually its miscommunication etc
    In this instance, I think its just piss-poor management and a lack of quality control.
    This individual/company is obviously a broker. Charging primarily US people and then offloading the work to the cheapest person overseas.
    Depending on how much money they need determines how much they charge.
    Here are some snippets of previous conversations:Friday, August 15, 2008 15:54 PM] I GROW Your Biz: do u install codecs?
    [Friday, August 15, 2008 15:54 PM] SrvManager: For streaming server ?
    [Friday, August 15, 2008 15:54 PM] I GROW Your Biz: uh
    [Friday, August 15, 2008 15:54 PM] I GROW Your Biz: i dunno
    [Friday, August 15, 2008 15:54 PM] I GROW Your Biz: ffmpeg
    [Friday, August 15, 2008 15:54 PM] I GROW Your Biz: etc
    [Friday, August 15, 2008 15:55 PM] SrvManager: We can install ffmpeg and other required codecs etc
    [Friday, August 15, 2008 15:55 PM] I GROW Your Biz: how much?
    [Friday, August 15, 2008 15:57 PM] SrvManager: $80to Install ffmpeg with Mplayer + Mencoder, LAME, MP3 Encoder.
    so....80 bucks to install ffmpeg...aug 2008...i got someone else to do the job.[Monday, September 22, 2008 10:42 AM] SrvManager: $50
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:42 AM] SrvManager: We will get the server harden
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:42 AM] SrvManager: and find out all the suspicious files
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:48 AM] I GROW Your Biz: yah but 50 bucks for one time?
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:48 AM] SrvManager: yes
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:48 AM] I GROW Your Biz: doesnt all that come in monthly packages
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:48 AM] I GROW Your Biz: sorry i thought you were a diff company
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:48 AM] I GROW Your Biz: there is a guy that offered me 50 a month
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:48 AM] I GROW Your Biz: to manage the server
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:48 AM] SrvManager: ok
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:49 AM] I GROW Your Biz: i thought you were 24x7servermanagement
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:49 AM] SrvManager: I am from 24x7servermanagement.com
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:49 AM] I GROW Your Biz: lol
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:49 AM] I GROW Your Biz: then why you trying to trick me? lol
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:49 AM] I GROW Your Biz: u told me $50
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:49 AM] I GROW Your Biz: to do all that
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:49 AM] I GROW Your Biz: when i first got the server
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:50 AM] SrvManager: I am not sure if i had a talk with you earlier. I am not remembering exactly
    THAT should have been my clue...not to trust them, try to sell me a service for one time, that could cover a month for the same price![Monday, September 22, 2008 10:50 AM] I GROW Your Biz: ok well what is your monthly plan for 50 a month cover?
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:51 AM] SrvManager: Yes but it does not cover ffmpeg
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:51 AM] SrvManager: fixing service and securing is covered
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:51 AM] I GROW Your Biz: well i suspect after you fix the server, ffmpeg will install
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:52 AM] I GROW Your Biz: but you said it was 50 for one time
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:52 AM] I GROW Your Biz: not for the month
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:52 AM] I GROW Your Biz: and thats what i dont understand
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:52 AM] I GROW Your Biz: why you are telling me somthing different than your site and your posts
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:52 AM] SrvManager: One time charge was for finding out the hacker
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:52 AM] SrvManager: Not for management plan
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:52 AM] I GROW Your Biz: your management plan covers that
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:53 AM] SrvManager: If you are looking for management plan that is good enough
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:53 AM] I GROW Your Biz: Re-secure a server after intrusion
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:53 AM] I GROW Your Biz: why would i pay 50 for one time, when i could have it the whole month long?
    [Monday, September 22, 2008 10:53 AM] SrvManager: Once you order you will have to post a ticket
    based off of that conversation, I hired them for a month of service...supposedly they fixed the issue
    so that brings me to my lasted "experience" in which i asked if they could do FFMPEG install
    WOW... HALF PRICE....PLUS they will configure the server AND install PHP motion...for HALF PRICE! wow! $40 is less than a month of server maintenance, or a ONE TIME configuration, or FFMPEG install by itself..what a deal...right?
    WRONG!
    needless to say as per this post: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=737775
    they screwed it up, then lied about it. Had the nerve to say I was impatient and they COMPLETED the install (must be user error).
    here are the logsAYPAL DISPUTE===
    From Buyer - Need Promo, LLC
    11/24/2008 19:28 PST
    i paid specifically to have ffmpeg installed, and i was told it was done, only to find out it was not.
    THen when i complained i was told it would be taken care of, but then got a message that they tried 3 times and could not do it and were going to talk to an administrator...I do not get responses to my messages.
    I want my money back as this was a rush and had to hire someone else to do this for me.
    From Seller - Geeks Solutions

    For your Information ffmpeg is installed and it should be working fine, Its just not activated as php module, Also you need to keep this in mind that we have also installed phpmotion and server setups. If you do not know how it works then you need to ask your admins. However you attitude is little rude and no patience i am sorry for that. We are refunding your money back.
    Thanks
    From Seller - Geeks Solutions
    11/24/2008 20:54 PST
    refunded back
    A Refund was issued.

    As of 11:206 AM 11/25/08.... the "phpmotion" site does not work, ffmpeg does not show in the phpinfo page of installed modules, and I hired them for this days ago? Yet "I'm" impatient? when is a reasonable amount of time?
    I know how php motion works, you upload a video and it converts it to flv and makes a thumbnail image...thats not happening on the installation....and server "setup" was non-existent.
    In effect they did NOTHING
    Don't waste your time with this group unless you have something really simple for a hobby server...if its production or a company or for clients, my opinion is you should STAY AWAY.=======MY IM log of the event:

    Wow nobody is going to read this if your money is refunded and we know we did our job well but your are really impatient and bad attitude is what i can say. Sorry but i still stand that the job was done correctly except for ffmpeg-php which we were looking and you filed a dispute without any issue.

    8 hours of no response from a 24-7 server admin???
    ...after telling me YOU would get back to me..and DID NOT?
    how long should i have waited for your FIFTH TRY at getting it installed correctly...the logs clearly show, you didnt get it done properly...yet you try to insist "it was done"
    I think people will INDEED read all of that...AND look at the TIMESTAMPS...and I hope it makes them think twice before using you.

    It suprises me to see this negative review thead about 24x7, all my dealings with them have been very pleasent and I would be happy to recommend.
    I didn't bother reading all the chat logs but it looks like you got most of the work done and a refund aswell which seems like a good deal to me

    We are not dependent on your recommendations and You can make any excuse you want to after getting the work done. Well thats a very smart act after getting your server setup, Fixing all sorts of issues , Then changing clients details from your client area, you finally make a chargeback with paypal. Sorry but this not how it works. you have to provide the other side of the situation as well.. Make sure you also mention what things we worked for you if you want to put a honest review. Best of luck.
