We have been with Servage for the entire hosting period and had nothing but problems.

* Mail-servers are blacklisted (proven) – yet – Servage say NO PROBLEM.

* They keep their data base UN-updated, sending utmost confidential material to the wrong address (proven)

* Yes you can cancel your account but what’s the point? Since Servage has your credit card details (that must be one of the few things they keep in their database to remember) they will just keep charging you!

WE? We have taken steps to press fraud charges against this first class customer support hosting company and leave you with making your own decision whether or not you want to waste your time, money and business with Servage!

Best of luck

thanks

To cut to the chase, the politeness is a defensive mechanism to cover total incompetence.

Servage has got to be in the category of one of the worse hosts to ever be connected to the net – their network security is a joke, support is like speaking to a brick wall (tho politely!), upgrades are designed to screw accounts and take months to resolve.

Servage are seriously bad news!!!

There are a lot of opinions on Dreamhost, and yes, they’re not perfect, but they are one thing. Honest.

If a server’s been hacked, if there’s a power outage, if a HDD breaks down, they tell you honestly and apologize for the inconvenience.

100% uptime in basic shared hosting is a MYTH, and not even necessary for most sites. Safe hosting without extra code appearing from nowhere is.

I have been with servage for 3 years now and over those years have had a load of problems (Yes, I know, I should have switched long ago)…

Injections seem to be the biggest thing I’ve had problems with. Number of times, my sites have had malicious codes inserted into EVERY site I host, even my daughters website. The code included a new .htaccess file with a number of rewrites in it pointing mostly to “sovereign” folder which had a number of files in it including a “links.txt” file that shows hundreds of other websites involved in this porn site link scam.

I checked out about 20 or so of the sites listed in the links.txt and guess what, every one of them had ns1.servage.net as their dns.

I straight out asked servage 7 months ago and again this week if they’ve been hacked to which I got the following reply:

Hello Aaron,

Sorry for the inconveneicne caused. Due to the vast nature of the internet, we employ the same standard methods of safeguarding against malicious entry as all Web hosting companies. We are also currently in the process of a major upgrade of the hard- and software of the Webcluster that serves your account so that such does not happen again.

Thanks.

Kind Regards
John, Support
Servage Hosting

So again, as many of you have stated, they will NOT acknowledge that they;ve been hacked into. In fact, they WILL completely deny it even though it’s beyond obvious.

Is there nothing that we, as paying servage customers can do together to stop this from happening to others? If they take their security so lightly, perhaps a lawsuit should be in order?

I don’t know about the rest of you, but someone actually ended up getting full access to my cpanel and even created their own ftp accounts. They had access to every one of my mysql databases not to mention the passwords for each. All my, and my customers private information was completely open to them.

Your thoughts?
