Proxy. Happy new Hosting!!!!

I moved from Servage to HostGator too. I have been with them for 6 months plus without any bother. Their tech support is very good and they actually know how to handle the hardware and software. A different class of company all round. I’m surprised Servage are still trading as the service (ahem) they provided me with was not fit for purpose. I still had 8 months left to run but got out early. Best thing I ever did.

Brandon, we’re complaining about the integrity of their servers and thus their services. We’re not talking about any moral standards

@AVOID SERVAGE:
It’s interesting and ironic that you want your hosting company to adhere to high moral standards just so that you can break them.

It’s now the middle of december and they are the same lying incompetent assholes who continue to allow hackers to inject iframes and trojans all kinds of hacking shit

Where’s that class action lawsuit? Now that servage is USA based and stupider and more negligent than ever, it should be a cinch.

I had hosting with servage, I was hacked repeatedly (injected code into both .php and .html files, and also injecting full files as well. additional ftp accounts were created with randomised names that would indicate they were set up via scripts, I know my account password was secure – 20 characters alphanumeric case sensitive randomised is pretty damn good – there is no malware of any type on my pc i use to connect to – believe me, i’ve searched and searched and ran packet sniffing and everything. not a single dodgy packet outgoing. I asked about secure ftp, i asked about restricting ftp access to a specific static ip (which would have solved the problem entirely) but even after doing this, repeated password changes, deleting the ftp accounts, reloading from backup and repeated requests for those two features (and questioning why the first “captcha” never worked – perhaps some dns servers somewhere are pointing the servage control panel through a malicious server and an iframe). i made the decision to quit. I’m considering lunarpages, i have a friend with an account with no issues.

Well, guys, Servage is hacked for 3 days now (since July 18th !). I wonder if those guys there, they don’t give a damn about security ???

by any chance did you research any NON-US hosting that you found comparable to hostgator?

they are fine but if you have any adult related products or (18-over only) sites it is risky to have them hosted in the usa these days. for instance law enforcement in any community in the state of florida decides on a whim what is considered in violation of decency standards and if you’re in usa, you can be criminally charged.

do you have any recommendations on reliable, secure, reasonably priced overseas/non-usa hosting by any chance now that we know for a fact that servage is insecure, hacked every day, and DISHONEST to their clients.

ProXy,

Thanks for the fast reply.

I can see dark clouds gathering upon the horizon already, since I cannot afford to lose any of the mentioned domains…

Zeta, I only had 1 domain name registered with them, the one that i received for free when i registered for hosting. I did not tried to move it, because it was not an important domain for me, so i left it there. Probably you have to pay for moving the domains.
