webthosting has not restored my site yet
I am hosted with Webthosting.
& my site is down since 20 days.
They had some major downtime of 1 week last month from 12th june.
& after that they have to recover all data from their server.
They have provided me a full back up on 22nd june But what i can do with it?as they have not restored my site.
I have tried to reach them via tickets but their support time is avg 1 day & with full of nonsense reply.(dont even care how to support via tickets)
I am following a ticket after 1-2 days & they are saying dont bump your tickets
Really disappointed so creating a thread here.
Plz avoid this hosting.0

20 days? Wow! I think that if you have been down for 20 days, it's time to look for another host.

20 days is simply outragious... 1 day, heck a few hours isnt reasonable either... get a new host and get them to restore that backup. change your domain nameservers and your good to go, just choose a host wisely.

If you, as said; where provided with a full backup, nothing is stopping you anymore in moving to another host; which from the sound of it is your only and best option. There is no way anyone should accept 20 days of downtime. Although, it is of course possible the backup generated is corrupt and cant be restored; in that case i hope you made your own backups as well (which any host would recommend you to do in any case!).
bumping a ticket thread after a few days is not a bad thing to do either (unless you do it every single minute (yes there are clients like that) or when told something will be fixed on a very specific date and time). Personally i do not find it bad when a client bumps a ticket, it means the communication was not clear enough towards the customer on when something would be fixed/solved.» cPanel Servers in Europe: Strasbourg (FR), Haarlem & Amsterdam (NL) & Kent (UK), USA (Los Angeles, St.Louis), Asia (Singapore) | Follow us at Twitter: @040hosting

I would assume the fact that they made a full backup available to you, and are failing to respond to your tickets would tell me they actually want you to go elsewhere.
Do you have a large / popular / resource intensive site? Any known reason why your site went down / was taken down?0

Its sound like you should try to look for another host. I hope you do have your backup in your hand. So search for another host and try to get your refund back from your previous host if you are applicable for it according to their TOS. Best of luck for your next host and getting your refund back.

I was another customer that was down and not restored. Support took days to respond and did nothing. I haved moved to a much more professional host who knows what they are doing and responds way quicker. DO NOT give these guys your money!

Same here they are no more responding via tickets.
Their phone support is a BIG Joke.
Everyday they have something wrong like power cut,hard drive failure(most common), time out errors etc.
I am also going to ask for refund.0

We really have little to do about hard drives or power.

Your file is not corrupted, only it can not be restored by new/inexperienced people (through clicks from the WHM). If you find an experienced provider they will surely restore the files. You can also try one of our US based servers which have higher performance.

Actually you do - this is where your choice of a data center comes into play. If you choose a poor DC you will offer at best poor service. If you choose an amazing DC you will offer at best amazing service. You are only as strong as your weakest link.
This is basically the same thing I said above. I've never seen a *whole* backup file corrupted but I have seen it where the server creating the backup didn't fully package the account and some files are missing such as the ones required to tell cPanel how to restore your account.
Let me try understanding this... "Our non-US based servers are low performance, you may try one of our higher performance US based servers." ... Am I understanding your statement correctly?0

The US datacenter has a better response time than Leaseweb.

So what you are now saying is:
"We provide better support to clients hosted in the US"???
That could also seen inversely as:
"We don't care enough about customers hosted outside of the US with us to provide good support to them"...
Am I misunderstanding what you are saying?█ Michael Denney - MDDHosting.com - Proudly hosting more than 37,700 websites since 2007.

webthosting is horrible.
please look through the forums regarding webthosting.
in fact, i'll show you some threads about this company.

they overload their servers with so many clients.
one time, there was a load of 15.21 for me. not once has the load been less than 2.00. that is RIDICULOUS.
they have horrible support as well.
they would rather answer questions on these forums, rather than answering in their support ticket area.
these forums are their first priority as they do not want to have a bad reputation but they already do have a bad reputation.
i STRONGLY ADVISE you to stay away from this company AT ALL COSTS from my personal experience.Last edited by hypebeast; 07-04-2009 at 01:26 PM.

For load less than 2 get your own dedicated server.
"one time, there was a load of 15.21 for me" Even if you see it once a week it is quite normal. I have personally seen our servers serve apache connections quite fast for up to loads which *appear to show* around 100 in cPanel. A single untar command only can make a load above 20.
You open a dispute (there was no refund button in paypal) (some thread you link to) and expected us to refund on top of that and now you are bumping all threads without any reason. Did you want us to pay you from our own funds?
Opening a port 3306 is not something of very high priority that should be done immediately.
@ MikeDVB
I meant datacenter response time, they do not take days to replace HDs or such which makes higher uptime.Last edited by bentink; 07-04-2009 at 01:34 PM.

You probably managed your dedicated servers that you say Load 2 to be ridiculous? Edit the cPanel core files and make it to show 0 always.
We have testing boxes where I saw the load to be 100 when apache delivered pages fast. You are more concerned about what it shows in cPanel rather than the speed at which your site opens?0
