Crap, if it is down how do I figure out when it will be back up thanks.

[zaclegend]

hello? anyone gona help me please

[BPrintz]

Site appears down here as well.

I did check however and the server itself is online, FTP seems to be up. There web service must have failed, do you have a number or e-mail you can use to contact them?

A personal suggestion would be to login and backup all your files from FTP right now incase something worse happens.

Edit: I pulled this e-mail from a 2003 copy of their site, maybe it will be still active:
Vincent Elisan, CEO
vincent@jv-hosting.net

And even more from another site:
Vincent Elisan
vincent@jv-admin.net
+1 858 395 3763

it has been a couple of days anybody heard anything yet?

[vividk]

I have been trying to get in touch with Vincent from JV-Hosting, and NOTHING. I have emailed (main site is down so I suspect server is down) and I have called him and left a message. NOTHING.

I have SIX sites hosted by JV. I have been a customer with them since about 4-5 years and this is the second time that I have has problems like this. If anyone has any information. please let me know.

vividk--only the second time? I've been with Vincent & Co. for maybe a year or two less than you have (at least three years, maybe four), and this has happened twice now in the past month alone!



Just thought I'd sign up for an account here and chime in as well--I also have two different web sites hosted with jv-hosting and haven't been able to get to them for several days. There was also an "outage" a couple of weeks back, I think, that lasted for several days.

jv-hosting is DEFINITELY a "you get what you pay for" sort of deal.

I just hope everything comes back up long enough for me to get my database tables, download a full copy of all my files, and get out of Dodge and find somebody else.

I've been less-than-thrilled with Vincent, to say the least. The fact that his billing system makes you essentially "overdue" the day your bill is due is somewhat bothersome as well.

At any rate, I guess we'll have to just hang in there and see how it goes....

I had outages before, but I was able to get inn touch ith Vincent. However, for a year and a half I had a site hosted there that I was not updating and I don't know about outages. I started using them again early last year and other than some minor issues with billing I wasn't too bothered with them. I recently paid for additional hosting and I am definitely not getting my money's worth...You are right this is the 2nd time this year with no communication or anything from Vincent. I hate that I paid for hosting that I cannot use.

However, hopefully I can get my databases like you said, andd then I am GONE!

[griffeymac]

It looks like we're back up--better start downloading those files and database tables....

Best of luck to you, vividk!

Imagine that--it looks like we're down AGAIN.

And the main jv-hosting page comes up blank with only

<?
echo "web5.ltbx.com is alive";
?>

if you view source.

What the heck is the problem? How difficult is it to keep a web server up and running for more than a few days at a time?

This is getting to be ridiculous...

G.--

[vividk]

Still down. When we got back up I tried to back up my sites and it went down in the middle.

This is so unbelievable. I just freaking in late November. Now I am out of money and my sites.

[griffeymac]

And we're down AGAIN.

This is it. Assuming it ever comes back up I'm doing a database dump of my blog and getting the hell out of Dodge.

This is ridiculous. How difficult is it to keep a LAMP server running more than a few days at a time?

If anyone out there reading this has stumbled upon this thread while searching on Google, please avoid jv-hosting.net like the plague that it is.

My jv-hosting.net hosted website is up, but I can't login to Cpanel. I want to grab my database files, but can't get to them. Anyone been able to get to their files?

[RobertMaltby]

The site seems to be back online.. After taking a look at their packages, I noticed the "JV_Unlimited" plan is sold out.. Unlimited Space / Bandwidth.. That is a potential problem right there..

Once upon a time, I thought that getting an "Unlimited Hosting Plan" was good for me -- Heck, Just spend $25.00 /month and host all of my sites.. but then I started to see alot of downtime and over-loaded servers.. Which is why I now have my own dedicated servers to host my sites as I prefer quality not quantity..

If you guys are looking for a change, I can provide you some temporary space to keep your sites online until you find a new home.. Just let me know.

Thanks,
Robert
