Any test IPs?
Can't find an AUP or ToS... Got links to them?
Any 2 test IPs?
openvz?
Not only that but hidden whois and whole site is behind cloudflare's full protection (Not just dns).
And has disallowed all archiver bots.
Domain was changed in july.
And looking at the old ips, per to crimeflare they were under an UK cpanel host.
Something really just screams out that it was not actually really established in 2007.
I think this plan is OpenVZ ? I can not find any information in their website.
Interesting... Just looking at the website makes me think the same. Buyer beware I guess?
Hard to say if they've been in business since 2007. The (supposed) owner has been a WHT member since 2010, but was using his own username until last month when he changed it to have HMB (HostMyBytes) in it and that's also when I can see posts advertising HostMyBytes started. If he had HostMyBytes before and wanting clients, you would think he would've been advertising it all the time on WHT. There's also nothing on Google about HostMyBytes from earlier than September 2014. Not to mention, the photos of who are supposed the HostMyBytes staff on the about us page, are actually pictures from a cartoon rendition of The Jonas Brothers
Sounds like an really secure and trustworthy host to me.
Wonder how long it will last.
Ordered a 4GB box 8 hours ago, still waiting for setup mail!
I will send you test IPs into your inboxes
All of our plans are currently OpenVZ
Our AUP and ToS are clearly labeled at the bottom of every page of our site. Here are links to each:
AUP -> http://hostmybytes.com/aup.php
ToS ->
http://hostmybytes.com/terms-of-service.php
Your VPS has since been set up, I apologize for the delay.
Mind forwarding those test IPs to me also?
Might as well add that the link at checkout which leads to this: http://hostmybytes.com/terms-of-service
Doesn't work. That is what I was looking at originally.
I sent them to your inbox
What is the portspeed?
Is there a way to change ip from time to time? I have dedicated one from online.net but they don't offer changing ip so i need something new because i don't want to pay setup fee every time i want to change ip.. I would take even 2 servers (4 GB) in case of availability to change ip on request... I need server to work as a "bridge" to transfering data 24/7 from some website to my server. No encoding and overloading i can assure. Please let me know if you can offer.
Kind regards
Portspeed is 1GBPS, and how often would you expect to change IPs?
Maybe about up to 2 times per month
Please open up a sales ticket so we can discuss this further. We may be able to accommodate you
So anyone got a benchmark of these?
server was working okay, but upload speed about only few mb (2-5mbps).
HostMyBytes - The worst ever support
I am sure many users might have been impressed by the - "within 60 minutes response" for support tickets, but that doesn't add to the 'Quality' of support. They must have placed a group of men to simply respond to one's ticket within the 60 minute deadline & keep the user on hold, until the technical support takes over. Well, that is absolutely fine, as I would see it as a competitive strategy. No complaints here. But they fail in maintaining a sound support team.
Just by claiming a 24X7 "very active" support doesn't add a feather to their cap, obviously because their so called technical support team is damn dumb. I have been hosting with them since 8 months now & most of the support members have no knowledge on handling servers. On the contrary, the support members ask you the steps to accomplish the given task! It's unfortunate that in almost every case that the support is clueless about proceeding ahead with any task.
For instance, I have been asking them to resolve an issue related to their IPs being blacklisted. And guess what? Its been almost a week & I am still tussling around with their support, explaining and guiding them at every step. I wonder the basis on which their support team has been hired!
I hope the day would come soon, where in their support team would comprise of members having a sound knowledge on server management.
UPDATE:
And guess what? After this much of tussle, I am given a link (which goes to Office365 Adminstrators Troubleshooting for blacklist - which has nothing to do with my issue; I am on Ubuntu) and asked to go ahead & figure things out myself!
What a shame. They can't manage to ensure that their IPs are white-listed ones? And even if they are blacklisted, they ask their clients to figure it out & resolve the issue themselves!?
Such a pity!
They always have disk space issues, as if they are always running out of space & it keeps affecting the clients. Their support keeps pacifying the clients asserting that the issue wouldn't recur, but trust me it happens all the time. In short, if you're a client with HostMyBytes, you can't depend on the thought - "everything would be working fine". You have to keep monitoring the shit yourself everyday, every minute. God help this provider.
