Problem in Semoweb vps
hi guys.. i had a vps problem in my vps in semoweb.com
i was purchased in semoweb.com a $4.99 vps.
then i got their vps this may 16 and it works fine and i admire their support, the days pass by but i got june 2 semoweb support staff Dustin Cisneros send me an email that someone was doing spamming in email using my vps IP, and they suspend my vps account,
i replied to them and hoping that it will reactivate again my vps and give me a temporarily suspended but sad to say its permanently suspended my vps account.. almost 2week that i only used my vps and now i cannot used my remaining days. im just wondering if its a same policy on some vps provider?.. im sorry guys im just a newbie in vps but i have bought vps in quickweb they suspend the account but they reactivate again if there is a valid reason... but now.. its my lesson that i want to share for some of newbie like me in vps..
thank you i hope some of you guys give me a tips and teach me the right vps ..
here is our conversation with the Staff:
CLIENT: hello there i notice my vps was suspended can you give me the exact ip address of my my client that give spamming in our vps?..
ok i will investigate regarding to this matter.. please apologize i did not read regarding spamming and i will do my best to prevent so it will not happen again..
thank you..
Staff:
We cannot unsuspend it how ever heres the report.
Type: spam/abusix
From: "no-reply@abusix.org" <no-reply@abusix.org>
[noreply]
etc..........
Client:
hi there do you mean my vps account it will not be reactivate?
this is sad to say that happen to us. i advice my all clients about this happened and warned all them for spamming messaging.and i am revoking for reactivation hopefully so we continue your good service to us. and i am hoping also..
i will support you regarding to your concern but give me a chance to used my vps again because we have a remaining days to use it. and hopefully to continue your good service to us..
thank you..
STAFF:
Correct the DC advised us not to unsuspend you will have to reorder and put some type of email limit and monitor to avoid such things again.
CLIENT:
hello there what do you mean with DC? and in order to unsuspend my account we need to reorder vps again? we need to pay it again? please clarify us.. thank you
STAFF:
The DC is the data center supplying us with their network they mentioned we cannot unsuspend this vps.
In order to have another vps for production you must order a new one and use that and closely monitor your users.

the end...
thank you WHT..

This procedure isn't a bad behavior - spam is a very cost intensive risk to your hoster. If their IP-Range/Ips get blacklisted they are nearly useless and it costs a lot to get them removed from blacklists.

I think most VPS companies will suspend/terminate your VPS with no refund if your VPS is sending out spam.
Re-activating your VPS only allows more spam to get out.
I don't really see Semoweb doing anything wrong here...this is standard procedure when dealing with Spam.
It's unfortunate but Spam/Phishing/Junk mail is really hurting service providers. It can't be taken lightly anymore by the provider because a provider can have HIS services cancelled/terminated if they receive too many abuse complaints.Last edited by KiloServe; 06-03-2011 at 04:52 PM.

Sounds like a really bad case of spam but at least they're letting you sign up again for their services.

Semoweb is doing their best for a client. Did you read, "Correct the DC advised us not to unsuspend you will have to reorder and put some type of email limit and monitor to avoid such things again.
So he gets a second chance, with restrictions. With many budget hosts you'd simply get the boot.
Well done Semoweb.

Well I don't see anything wrong about suspending an account for spam specially a vps of 4.99 it will cost much more to clean the ip from blacklists later on, sure there are better ways to clean that same vps and reactivate it but is an extra work that at the end is better to create the vps again.

Hello,
I'm really sorry that our services did not work out for you, We do take SPAM very serious and in any case where the DC "Data Center" informs us that we cannot reactivate a vps due SPAM we will follow their instructions as we don't want to unsuspend your vps and have the whole node suspended due to your failure of properly managing your end users which resulted in SPAM.
You are welcome back at any time as mentioned in the ticket and take it as a lesson learned how you need to set email limits when you have end users as well as monitoring them.
There was quite a few complaints regarding your VE this is why action was taken.
Once again my sincerest apologies action was taken but I'm sure you can under stand why its important to have a clean network.〓〓 RackNerd LLC - Introducing Infrastructure Stability

you are getting a second chance, my suggestion is signup for a new VPS with them and keep monitoring you VPS for Spam.

You should get a managed VPS to prevent such problems if you can't do it yourself. If you want to solve it yourself there are a lot of tutorials.

it seems, that semoweb being an ethical and legitimate host had offered you an another chance to start once again with them however, in case you are not familiar with server management process you ought to hire someone or opt for a managed vps with semoweb.
