He's changed the site. I'm not sure how to get to the new one.

The hosting site is Cheap & Reliable Hosting

The site given is Iowadawg, which is a directory.

RIght now, me and the company are going head to head on why so many sites I host are showing http 500 errors.
Now they tell me that it is just the main pages that do not show and that I (ME!!!!!) might have done something!
F**kheads are starting to piss me off by implying that I may be the source of the problem!
Told them back off and reread and understand to the point of comprehension what I originally sent you via your ticket system.
Ah, new email from them right now....server is okay, blaha blaha blaha
but we can not find any reason the pages are not showing!

Anyways, in the next few days, whether they get my sites and my customers sites up, I will be switching to someone else and getting out of the hosting business.
Just too much aggravation from customers when something goes wrong.
(ANd believe me, I have and problably will continue, got emails from customers over this shit)

Latest short update from the company:
Message:
ok.. we are checking on this for you.

Thanks

I'm with UnitedHosting.co.uk (and they are really good).

I have a reseller account with them and have quite a number of sites... have been with them for about 5 months now; a definate upgrade on my first and last host - eukhost (although they have got better in recent years).

I use Servint VPS have nothing but good things to say. Their CS has been outstanding and they really go above and beyond always fixing stuff for me if I have any issues. Highly recommended. I have too many sites to list them :P

**Big Dan** · Sep 21st, 2007, 2:28 pm

All my sites are now on a VPS with the boys over at ServInt. Excellent service and unmatched uptime thus far.

**exponent** · Sep 22nd, 2007, 11:21 am

I wish I was to the point that I could afford the ServInt VPS. It looks really nice.

**KeithCash** · Sep 23rd, 2007, 8:05 pm

Never heard of them

*SparxInteractive* · Oct 6th, 2007, 12:12 pm

SparxInteractive.com (New design soon, existing one sucks) and various other sites || BizStreet.Net || October 06
I host on shared and VPS's, and both are nice and reliable

**handsonweb** · Oct 6th, 2007, 1:14 pm

Hands-on Web Hosting ----> all + 4500 others ---> 1994

Please note this is our own hosting company. Company namechange from Nexus Hosting to Hands-on Web Hosting in 1999.

Also, IowaDawg, check with your host to see if they upgraded their PHP software. If you're spouting 500 errors, it sounds like they may have upgraded software and forgot to install phpsuexec, ioncube or something similiar.

**iowadawg** · Oct 6th, 2007, 2:37 pm

Yeah the upgraded to the latest version of php.
Some reason, the upgrade fuxxed up most scripts.
They never did get a fix, but no problem as all my sites were moved to another host.

**handsonweb** · Oct 6th, 2007, 5:20 pm

Yeah, PHP5 is very different from PHP4 in a lot of respects. Many scripts that were written for PHP4 will not work on PHP5. It's unfortuante that they would do a blanket upgrade like that, and then accuse YOU of doing something wrong

At least for us, we have both PHP4 and PHP5 servers running and if someone wants to be upgraded, we just move them to the other machine. No problems that way.

Good luck with the new host. Hopefully they treat you better as a client!

I have 3 dedicated servers at GNAX. Although they are supposed to be fully managed, I pay additionally to have an extra layer of management at Hostito. So basically for emergencies server down requests, I contact GNAX directly. For more complicated stuff, I consult hostito.

I have had this 3 server configuration for over 32 months and I have got used to it and is now very stable. I don't think I will need to get another server or upgrade for at least another year.
