Travis,
Well I'm sure I can go back to other LiquidWeb threads and find others where people were told their server is under attacked. It seems whitevitz here doesn't believe there would be any reason for his server to be attacked yet a tech told him it was DoS. So can you tell us if it is truly DoS or not?0

RossH,
I guess I didn't understand your first posts, I didn't think I had to say this, we do not tell our customers information that we do not believe to be true. We would never tell someone they are under a DDOS and work w/ them to repair it if we didn't believe that information to be accurate.
All I can go by is what the tech has reported in the ticket conversations to the customer. They are saying that it appears to be a DDOS and are continuing to investigate it with the customer, perhaps after further investigation the find another root cause, I can't possibly comment on that since it's in the future. This customers server is getting flooded w/ connections which appear to be maxing out his firewall at some random times periodically. The networking team and supervisory team have been working on this customers issue since May 1st when it began appearing intermittently.
The customers server has not been continuously affected. It has been online and accessible the majority of the time. We have mitigated issues on several occasions and are continuing to monitor it. - That is why I'm confused w/ the continuing thread.
If you have further questions you can email me directly and I'd be happy to give you a call. Good talking to you again.Travis Stoliker

Hi Travis,
I posted on WHT to share my frustration of my servers being down for 7x hours with members here. I didn't expect nor did I ask for a response from liquidweb.
I can assure you, I have responded to the support ticket or called dedicated support directly when I was trying to get the issue resolved as fast as possible during the downtime.
No bashing here as I know liquidweb is trying to resolve this problem as fast as possible. I created this thread as an intention to share my frustration of my server (my business) being down for so many days. Not frustration of the support I received from liquidweb. You guys have been a great job keeping me updated with the status.Last edited by whitevitz; 05-06-2008 at 01:06 AM.

Hi Guys,
I have just canceled my servers from liquidweb.com
Basically, my servers were only working from May 6 - May 9 this month on liquidweb. So I had to moved to another web provider. I asked for refund for the remainder of this month along with the SLA to compensate with the downtime I had experienced.
They stated that it is against their TOS to refund the rest of the month for me and that really left a bad taste in my mouth. Are you kidding me? Websites were down from May 1 - May 5. No advertising revenue and 20% of my clients left me due to the downtime. Now no refund on roughly 1000 dollars.
I was still planning to get a server from LW as redundancy, but seems like I have to scratch this plan now. Completely unsatisfied experience at Liquidweb for May 2008.0

If you do move to another host, and you are getting attacked you are probably going to have the same problems as you did with LiquidWeb. Do you know what kind of attack you were getting? Was it an HTTP flood? Was it maxing out the port? These are some of the questions you should find out before you buy another server with another provider and have the same problems as if you are getting hit hard you might find you need to host with someone like Staminus or AwkNet.
I'd encourage you to seek more information from LiquidWeb about these attacks and let us all know so maybe we can suggest providers that might be able to help you.0

Oh well, hopefully you'll be happier with your new server provider, sad to hear it went so bad with LiquidWeb.

The speculation is getting a little out of hand, even for WHT.
I'm sorry that problems occurred with this customer. We care very deeply about our customers, I believe a more thorough search of WHT will demonstrate that.
Be sure to contact me next year when we'll be in our 12th year.Travis Stoliker

I highly doubt that....
I am disappointed in your somewhat ignorant response. If you really cared about your customers the way you claim to, you would have refunded the client for the rest of the month or at least for the downtime, considering he/she has been nothing but understanding with the issues it seems.0

I have been a customer of liquidweb for close to 2 years and I feel sad that it had to end this way.
I was left no choice to move my websites before my business completely falls apart.
I do not think the attack was directly to my servers.
I was really hoping they would refund the rest of the month to me since they should have understood my standpoint as a customer.
Oh well. I would still like to thx every liquidweb system administrators that have helped me in the past 2 years.Last edited by whitevitz; 05-09-2008 at 10:23 PM.
