I have to take my positive review back. HostBluff are nothing but Scammers! Scam! Scam! Scam! My server was online for more that 3 hours yesterday!!!!111!!! How shall I keep my website secure if everybody can access it? Beware buyers! Beware!!111!! I will do a chargeback right now. Hell, I will do 3 chargebacks, just to be on the safe side!
I have now switched to A7GZ hosting - They have TREE FRUIT® included in all plans and finally, my website is offline most of the time!
@Amitz:
Want beef? ;-)
Oh, sure. I love beef.
Great, I'll get some for us! Fancy a drink? :-)
@Amitz: What do you propose? Vodka?
Unfortunately we are out of Vacuum Tubes. I may have to buy the Domain http://DoesHostBuffHaveStock.com due to all of the orders we have seen in the past few weeks (PONY Joke)
Yes, we are a scam, thank you. I am pretty sure we did not have uptime yesterday. Can you provide the ticket number and pingdom report and I will look into it.
@HostBluff: HostBuff?
How can I be of (dis)service to you?
Last I heard they were in the back of a 1983 Suburban that's sitting in a junkyard. But they may have upgraded to the 1979 Ford Econoline with a leaky roof and broken windows that was beside it.
Lo, the 1979 Ford was too reliable. We are actually in the process of moving all servers to our new DataCenter. We took down the network page on HostBluff until done.
Some things to look forward too;
1) All screws have been removed, replaced with bubble gum removed from park benches
2) New decommissioned Civil War Era Servers mounted in a Giant Pink Elephant
Isn't it more reliable to use your server on a bench in the park?
@netomx: No, it's not reliable. Anyone can just take it and plug it, giving you uptime.
No, its too possible that a good samartin can go and plug in the server. We cannot risk that at all. Our R&D Team is looking at a new, innovative solution we plan to roll out in 2015 (suspending the server above a volcano in Hawaii)
Sir - We have standards, acid rain only
It looks like HostBluff was hacked..
I love Stan Catswon.
Constantinos / Stan Catswon lol!
It looks like your right, We are posting the details of the investigation here = http://hostbluff.com/catastrophic-alert-we-have-been-hacked/
I must admit.. this looks like a hairy situation.
Keith, any update on the situation ?
WHAT THE HELL!?!?
First of all, my node is UNDERSOLD. How DARE you put me on a undersold node! I expect 10kbps writes, not these 1mb/s writes. Network speeds are horribly high also, I'm not sure why I'm getting 100kbps, as the network is supposed to be OFFLINE. I'm most certainly not getting my 99.75% downtime that I'm paying good money for!
I am very sorry, we had to power on the servers and put them on a real serial port to investigate the hacking. You may only see ~90% of downtime this month. We will be issuing SLA debits this month.
INVESTIGATE hacking?!
What the hell are we paying for? As customers, we have a right to be hacked frequently and with absolutely no involvement on your part.
If my credit card data and site users' info isn't stolen at least once every four weeks, you're not doing your jobs!
Why did you delete http://hostbluff.com/passwords.txt?
Agreed however they went too far when they hacked our site too. Screw the customers websites
Because it had our staff passwords too, we will take them out and just leave all customer passwords before we re-upload
@HostBluff I don't understand why your site isn't down more often, either. If you don't hold your own website to the same low standard you hold your customers, how can we trust you?
I for one am disgusted. I might have to go back to HostRail.
HostBluff's website must be online at all times so they can continue to scam customers and accept orders
Just wondering when you'll have a facebook page and when your prices will go up 60%.
I'll be interested in major downtime then.
@FTN_Kevin I realise that, but any reputable host would only accept registrations through http://hostbluff.com/whcms/whcms/whcms/cmswh/cwhms/hwcmh/index.blog.whcms.main.php.
