Loosing Love For Weloveservers

My relationship with WeLoveServers.net has started when they had taken over the small cheap web hosting provider called Tugu hosting. I make two posts about them before, one was WeLoverServers is Having Server Problems. and other one was WeLoveServers.net Customer Support is Good. Well sadly I can say still their servers are pretty bad.

There are good things about WeLoveServers. Their customer support is pretty quick and nice for a cheap vps provider. Also their prices are amazingly low even for a budget vps provider. That's the reason why I ended up buying even another server from them few months backs. Well, when u see an ad about 3GB RAM VPS for 32usd per year, (Yes per year) you get greedy and forget to think carefully and straight. I even got 2 ip addresses along with the vps. If you put $24 per year for those two I have received server for just $6 per year. So yeah I jumped at chance and bought it.

It was really nice first 2 months. It was fast and there were no downtime. The just since August I started getting small dose of downtimes daily basis. I didn't mind those at begin since those were always less than 5 minutes. But sadly things only got worse. At end I had to talk to support and I had to get sever moved to another and it was in Los Angeles. This is where things have started gone even more down the hill. imidiatly I noticed new 2 IP addresses are black listed by multiple sites. Changing ips didn't work since those range is black listed. Also down times are still there even though not worse like before.

So yeah if you going to buy those damn cheap servers and location you get it is Los Angeles then I can be 99% sure you get is black listed ips. They have given me so many promises those will be white listed in new few hours, 48 hours, 72 hours but I think I had to accept the fact this wont happen, Whole ip range is abused by spammers and I don't think those ip range will be de-listed, ever !

I can't say it's all their fault. Their servers are not exactly crappy but since this ultra cheap prices those are always oversold and crowded and but I sure these have become spammers paradise since so low prices. It's sad to see a good hosting company going to shit. I can see they are offering more and more huge web hosting promo prices but what  don't see it how they will handle the situation which is keep getting worse.

Even at Lowcostbox they are not getting any good reviews anymore. Maybe those who use other locations like UK based servers haven't effected yet but LA users are doomed. This is not a WeloveServers Review but just a small ranting about hard time I'm having. I really hope they will do something about this before their long time clients loose love for WeLoveServers.net.

Cancelled Iniz Hosting Account

End of the last year I posted about Iniz hosting company sold to another company. I had been using them till end of the July but at end I decided to cancel the account. Since begining of this year server was having small down times nearly everyday. from few seconds to 30 minutes. I wrote them about it and their respond was they haven't received any complained about down-times or they noticed any.

They asked me to install WinMTR and show me result but by then I have already decided to move sites since I have received really nice offer from WeLoveServers. Still I wanted to see if problem is something to do with my sites so I format the vps and leave it empty still the next billing day. Downtimes didn't stop happening so I guess problem was not exactly happen coz of my sites.

I think it's another company site which is going down hill since taken over by new owners. Their support is not bad and responds quickly but down times were not something happened to previous owner. Also we was a member of WHT so we could contact him directly there or get a public explanations if something happened.

Anyway I have to say goodbye to Niniz. I have used them for several years and had no trouble for long time. They were a really good cheap hosting provider.

Iniz Hosting Sold

There were lots of rumors about Iniz Hosting is Sold to another company since last month but only today I received a mail from them about. So Iniz is really sold to this company called Zeniva Limited. So that might be end of another good web hosting company. But we can not say things will go bad just because it was taken over by another company but usually things get bad from good when this happens. We can't predict about future here since we don't know much about new owner.

What we know is the person is quite young and he created this new company called Zeniva Limited last month just to take over Iniz. So this is not usual one web hosting company taking over another. Also the person is not known in Hosting industry. The mail said they have no intentions to change anything for current users. I guess they will keep the brand name too without changing it. Previous owner Patrick Hayward is known around web hosting forums and he claims he no longer has time to run a Hosting company with his offline job. But you can see plenty of chatter in places like WHT and LowendTalk why he has sold the business.

Iniz Hosting started as StormVZ and I have been there for more than two years since the start. I had a good promo deal and their servers are pretty fast. Server was great to so far never problems and less than dozen support tickets opened in last two years. I hope things will stay same in future too. I prefer to give a chance this new company keep it same like before.

This was kind of mainly a one man show since many bought hosting their become of previous owners reputation. Usually small hosting companies end up taken over by larger web hosting companies sooner or later. But I was not expecting it would happen to Iniz too.

WeLoverServers Having Server Problems

I haven't had any problems with WeLoveServers ever since they bought Tugu hosting but I noticed couple of small downtimes in every month unlike when I was with Tugu host. Well one I have is ultra cheap 20 USD per year vps so I don't expect a lot but I do like stable servers how cheap those are. Everyone want hosting packages for keep their sites 100% up and running no matter it's a cheap hosting provider or high end expensive hosting provider. We all know high-end hosting providers like KownHost provides a excellent service. When someone complains about a cheap hosting provider the usual reply you get is What you pay is What you get. It's kind of true most of the time.

I'm having bit of trouble with WeLoveServer since August and I didn't bother about it much. I did open a support ticket once and it was promptly answered. But since last month I was having problems in SolusVM. I was getting error messge when I was trying to restart or shut down sever even couldn't change host name because I was getting a error. So I opened a ticket and asked about this and shocked by the reply I received. I was just told " Your VPS has been consumed over CPU usage thereby it affects the host node too ". This can happen even thought I had only 4 sites and all are updated. I'm not sure it's the reason. Anyway I decided it can be something to do with my side so I decided to just forget about and support person restarted the server even I couldn't. Problem was there for another 2 days and then mysteriously everything started working fine again.

I noticed there have been bit of chatter in Web hosting forums about their service since begin of this year and some people were having frequent downtime. Some cases was similar to mind so I had a feeling it might not something to do with my node. Anyway I decided to give it a go for another month and see how things work. I can cancel the server end of this month and find another discount offer from BlackFriday offers if things keep getting bad.

WeLoveServers.net Customer Support is Good

I have this TuguHost VPS which I bought last year with BlackFriday promotion. Early this year Tuguhost was taken over by WeLoveServers.net. This VPS is not one use often so I didn't had any reason to contact new owners of the company. Today I found VPS down so I contacted support and open a ticket, With in 10 years it was fixed. Now that's impressive. I have no idea what was the problem but it was fix pretty fast.

Last year they also offered vps for great promo price. 1GB RAM vps for 19 USD per year. Now that was a really good offer and I wonder they will have something similar this year too. Something like this is great some those who are looking vps to host their hyper active medium size forum. If they have at least 100-200 daily active users then they should able to afford $20 a year for hosting.

Magmahost Sending Ghost Invoices

I used Magmahost in early 2008 for couple of months and suddenly everything was gone and couldn't login. Later I found the company was sold to another and then there was so chaos and sites were down most of the time rather than up. I only had couple of Macro sites there so I just moved to another cheap web hosting provider and forgot about the whole drama. I think you can still find longs topics at Namepros.com members were complaining about this company. It was a 1 Dollar hosting company and I never thought wasting time for complaining about a company like that is worth.But they were kept sending invoices which pissed me because even after e-mailing them I don't use their service anymore still they continue doing it.

Anyway They stopped it after another more email addressing about the matter bit strongly and I remember getting those invoices again.Another mail stopped it and now again after few years I'm getting their invoices again. I just don't get it. Did someone else again bought this crappy company and decided to send invoices to everyone in the mailing list ? Still I shouldn't receive invoices because last time they said they removed my mail from the list!

This is what happen when you are going to cheapest web hosting services you find. Not all most most of these services are a waste of time and money.

Payza US Account Issue Troubles Hosting Providers

Payza which is an alternative for Paypal is used to so many cheap web hosting providers as well as prominent web hosting providers like Hostwind. But recent problems with Payza having their US accounts frozen has become a problem for both web hosting providers and customers. It has effected only US Payza accounts but it effecting indirect to many other Payza users too.

US based Web hosting providers Hostwind no longer take Payza as payment method since their moeny is froze too. But it put many of their none US clients in serious trouble since they can't pay for their web hosting accounts unless they have Paypal. Usually those who use Payza are unable to use Paypal for some reason. Also US Clients who use Payza as payment method unable to pay for their hosting account too. 

Payza was slowly gaining trust of people and growing again. This is huge blow for them and also those who using it. I know US Payza users are angry with them about this problem but I'm not sure where really the problem is. I don't see why would Payza intentionally froze US Account. It's like a suicide since US is their biggest market even thought more none US users they have. So this might not something in their control as they mention. Also I wonder if Paypal as something to do with this indirectly. Every time some rival for PayPal gaining on them something happens. This is not the first time.

Anyway I really hope this won't be the end of Payza. It hasn't effected accounts out side of US so I don't believe they will go down like Liberty Reserve. But this issue is a huge set back from and bigger problem for Payza users.
