Bandwith limit exceeded at pornlucky.com
 

Damn how I hate this. I talked with my host that in case I'll run out of bw they'll automatically rebill me for another monthly plan, hmm I guess its time to change the host. Pornlucky will be online soon ! Please dont blacklist me.

most hosts would just bill you at an 'overage' rate I would think


your host turns your site off?

Yes of course ! Why not ? |banghead|

What keeps me with them is their excellent support, but I guess there are other important things about hosts...

I was just going to post about it, in case you had missed it. But I see you're already on it.

I'll re-enable all the sites when they're online again :)

You really need to find a new host

Some hosts have NO CLUE

See my sig fro a host with great support that is more then happy to bill you when you go over your BW and not fucking turn off your domains.

At least you are showing up as internal server error and not a 404 error. Wow you sure have a lot of sites listed with me. :)

Now thats hillarious , im waiting 8 hours for some prick to respond to my ticket I opened. Other guy from the same company said via ICQ that "It can take up to 24 hours for billing departament to answer".

@cleo: thanks, I'll take a look at m3 servers. Yeah I've got lot of sites listed at Cleos Links, thats great ! :)

If your were on shared hosting they may have turned off your domain so that you didn't overload the server. You really do want to have your own server. With how much you build this should not be a problem for you. :)

That sucks, our philosophy is to contact the client when they are going over their limits and work out a deal that is best for them (either bill them for overages or retroactively move them up to a bigger plan thus saving them the overage bills).

Cleo, even if he is on a shared host, you would think the hosting company would not oversell their servers such that they can't handle a little overage on one account!

Good luck with the hunt for your new host, if you want I would be happy to help you out just get in touch!

cheers,
Luke

No, I don't work for them and no I don't get a commission I'm just going to throw their name out there because they've been good.
Amateur Hosting (amateurhosting.com) has been great for me! If you go over, they don't turn off your account. You just pay for it on your monthly bill. No sudden shutting off of your sites.

I wont even try to explain what fucking pricks were (are) hosting me, but I promise my site will be up today and Im EXTREMELY sorry for the downtime.

you said excellent support didn't you? :D

HarryMuff had his sites turned off for a short period today too. His host said he was over using shared hosting resources.. not sure what thinking is at a hosting company when they think its a good idea to alienate a webmaster as they get bigger.. would work well as an innovative marketing concept to contact people and offer to take some etxra money from them to move the lot to a brand new dedicated box or give a choice to pay overages, before shutting them down!

Ok Im up again on old host, now I have to buy my account at webair and move my stuff there, I hope it wont happen again, never.

@blind: yes, but as it turned out they were only good when there was no real problem.
Now my hands are shaking - I have to check if my sites are still on few places...

glad you got it sorted out :D


what host were you with before?>

I would do a quick search on this board before chosing webair!!!

cheers

I've been with Webair since I went to paid hosting, and they've been great to me. I was able to start with a very small package, and work my way up to what I have today. The upgrades were painless, and if I was upgrading, I wasn't charged any overages (if I had went over). Their support has been wonderful (both tech and billing). To my knowledge, I have only had one time of sites being down, and it wasn't lengthy.

So I'm a happy Webair camper.

My .02 cents.

Good to hear you are coming back up. You also have some handfulls of sites listed with me. I wont do anything as I assume the error message will disapear soon, but thanks for keeping us informed.

Now that's some kind of fucking nightmare. Its down again. Im pasting some of the chat I've had via ICQ:

OMG, that is some fucked up support they have over there.

Surely I didn't read that correctly. They turned you off for $1.95???

LEAVE THOSE LOSERS....FAST!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure how much you are saving or whatever is the reason that you still have not moved to a new host but nothing can be worth all the listings you are losing that took you all this time to build up.

grzepa - stop the insanity! Get away from them. Do you have a recent back-up of your stuff that you can just swooosh on over to another host?

Check your PMs |thumb

That's seriously fucked :(

you'll be really fucked up if they won't allow you to move your content via SSH or something.

What a fucking nightmare. Brings back some ugly memories from about 3 years ago...GAH!

Hope you're up and running again soon.

@Useless Warrior: check your PM !

Well its up again, and you wont believe it - these fuckers forgot to add the extra GB's when I was upgrading from plan A to plan B and in fact I exceeded the plan A'a limit. They put in online again, no "We're sorry" nothing.
Curious why I was disconnected second time ? I overused 0.50 GB so they decided to cut me off again, they couldnt predict that If yesterday I exceeded my usage after they put it back online I'll exceed again within minutes.
I bought my plan at webair , and now Im waiting for them to move my stuff.

WOW! Thats amazing! $1.95, thats not a shitload of money.

Loose the suckers
