ServerMinds (and then Graxis review)


Hi,

Just wanted to share my experiences with ServerMinds and then Graxis.

Timeline, with email headers and comments.
1 July 2009 - New Dedicated Server Information

13 July 2009 - [Ticket ID: 281684] Server down
*** This was resolved on same day, there was an IP conflict, I was assigned a new IP on the same day.

31 October 2009 - [Ticket ID: 438506] Server seems down
*** Resolved same day -> "Looks like the power cable slipped"

9 January 2010 - Serverminds ANNOUNCEMENT: Pending shutdown and of all dedicated server customers SOON! PLEASE READ!
9 January 2010 - Serverminds shutdown UPDATE - PLEASE READ!
11 January 2010 - Serverminds UPDATE - PENDING SALE - SHUTDOWN *NOT* HAPPENING TONIGHT! PLEASE READ!
*** So... this was when ServerMinds told everyone that they had 72 hours to move stuff off the servers before the DC was going to take away their internet connection

11 January 2010 - Important information from Graxis, Inc.
13 January 2010 - [#RAZ-156158]: Serverminds are acquired by Graxis, Inc.
3 Feburary 2010 - Information from Graxis, Inc.
*** Some kerfuffle with the whole transfer process, needed to re-sign up control panel, etc, etc.

5 Feburary - Server Move - New IP allocation
5 Feburary - [#JRX-501358]: Re: Server Move - New IP allocation
5 Feburary - IMPORTANT: Wrong IP Information
7 Feburary - [#BKC-305082]: Server move
8 Feburary - Server Relocation Sacramento
*** Another IP change, some confusion

6 March 2010 - Network Outage
*** "Dear Clients, We are experiencing some network difficulties at the moment. This outage is affecting ALL servers in the enterprise."

13 May 2010 - Ending Sacramento Facility Services
13 May 2010 - [#PSG-756558]: Ending Sacramento Facility Services
16 May 2010 - Confusion about server move
*** I was told that the service would be shut down in 2 days - "There seems to be some confusion about the shutdown of our sacramento services. All services in Sacramento will be shutdown in 48 hours from now." - 48 hours later, nothing had happened.

7 June 2010 - Cancellation Request Confirmation
*** I requested cancellation via their portal - "This email is to confirm that we have received your cancellation request for the service listed below. Product/Service: ServerMinds Dedicated Server"

1 July 2010 - Customer Invoice
*** Somewhat confused, invoicing me for product that they had received cancellation instructions on.

3 July 2010 - [#RXD-817618]: Contact Form: Cancelled my product and is still getting billed.
*** Went to their contact form and filed a pre-sales ticket, since the support ticket system gave an error with a php error.

3 July 2010 - First Invoice Overdue Notice
4 July 2010 - Second Invoice Overdue Notice
5 July 2010 - Third Invoice Overdue Notice
*** Yeah, so... not sure here.

The service is actually offline at the moment, I think it went down sometime in June, I stopped following it after as I had migrated everything off it.

Doesn't surprise me. One of our new customers was given 36 hours to find a new colo facility or become a customer of the datacenter that Servermind was using at about triple the cost.
