    Is this poor customer service?

    I requested it from the user directly. I was very thorough but promised not to share information that could allow others to perform any malicious action in his direction, so I shared my conclusion but not my work. I assure you that unless it varied from the IP he used for the order, I did not...

    Is this poor customer service?

    Context: More likely to lean toward QuickPacket because I love their services and support. However, I wanted to be neutral and clarify for the OP given the accusations. I reviewed the IP in question. It is allotted for customers of a very large cloud server provider. We're talking someone who...

    Is this poor customer service?

    This is a personal request and I'll explain my reason first. I consider fake reviews or reviews based on ulterior motive to be a sort of "pet peeve." On the other side of that coin, I consider true reviews that are dismissed too quickly to be another "pet peeve." Would you specifically give...

    Is this poor customer service?

    Logic needs no citation. If you believe my conclusion to be mistaken, you must inject further knowledge for me to re-evaluate. Your previous statement that it was an "exit" comment is already sufficient to cast doubt on my conclusion.

    I would like for the poster of this thread to provide permission to enter this into public record. If it's not relevant, let's get it on the table and out of the way. Otherwise it can undermine what may be a legitimate, albeit arguably and admittedly not originally worded in the best way, review...

    jake = perennate = CVPS_Kevin = Adam Ng = Lunanode?

    I went to paypal, double checked it, have a clear mental picture of seeing "[email protected]" on my screen in 3 different places. E-mail from last night says [email protected] Who drugged me last night?

    Shared Hosting

    That's probably 1.5 physical servers too! I never liked them :P

    jake = perennate = CVPS_Kevin = Adam Ng = Lunanode?

    The real suggestion appeared to be... Penerrate = jake Or Penerrate = riotsecurity Neither of which I believe is true. He's good at trolling. There's definitely no connection between lunanode and Adam unless he got a lot better about crafting identities. Source: Sniff the trail from...

    Shared Hosting

    What really matters for shared hosting is providing quick, easy paths for people to accomplish their goal. Remember, these people aren't coming to you because they know what they're doing, they're coming to you because you seem like you know what you're doing and they think you can help them...

    QuickPacket - Dual Xeon L5420 - 16 GB RAM - 1 TB HD - KVM over IP / IPMI - $49.99 per month

    New job, slightly less poor, glad to be a QuickPacket customer again! Seriously though, 4 hours from ordered to provisioned? I would've been happy with Monday ;)

    Is this poor customer service?

    This isn't the first time I've heard them being a bit cold in reaction to their fraud protection. I remember a while back someone had filed an incorrect fraud record report on someone and that client then had trouble ordering from QuickPacket. The report would have made anyone turn him away, but...

    Is this poor customer service?

    Yes. The message is "Fix this or I post bad things about you." If you've got another plausible explanation for why an upset would-be customer is randomly pasting links to forums related to the company's profession, I'm all ears.

    Is this poor customer service?

    Based on your statement, I will agree that you were not given sufficient opportunity or information to correct your position. As for your assessment of KuJoe, way off base.

    I used to not mind VPN signups. Reality vs idea is what happened. Conceptually, there's nothing wrong with a VPN. In actuality, almost no one who lacks malicious intent orders with one.

    Is this poor customer service?

    You should have apologized and stated that you were mistaken for making the order via VPN and asked them if they would mind if you attempted again from your local IP. Any web host who doesn't mind a VPN signup doesn't care about their customers. Btw I ordered a new server from them today...

    Openvz Node Security Implementations?

    Same way you secure anything else. Key logins only, disable password login. Shut down any services that you don't need. Keep your private key secure.

    Shared Hosting

    Shared hosting is still the best option for what we call the "average user." What shared hosting providers are doing wrong for the most part is caving to the price war. Charge high, don't oversell much if any, always be proactive about security, and make your users feel like they're paying for...

    How to decipher everything

    NSA needs a powerful database leak, that's all. Dump everything, expose every single one of them and every single one of us. It's worth it. I'll donate money to that cause. I'd gladly have my private life zipped on media fire for anyone to download if they fall with me. I don't care about my...
