Goodhosting? More like Idontgiveashitbecauseitsanationalholidayhosting! Amirite? Up-top muthafuckas!
No offense, do you mean Canada Days & Fourth of July, every host "can" go offline for the holiday?
No one went offline... The control panel and the services of all clients were online. So stop whining every time. Everything has been explained, god damn.
DNS can fail and when you have no backup DNS server things like that happen and now? You learn from mistakes... Hell even Cloudflare with their tons of servers goes down due to problems like the last issue with AMS and bandwidth mess up.
This forum is a god damn ****. Drama, trash, and always whining. I wish it would be like the old good LET.
Says the member registered since May this year.
That's how it's done m8!
Blaming cPanel for your mistakes is ridiculous. Just man up, take responsibility and move on
I had a account long ago before CC took over and it got hacked.
Was wiped on the hack, uncool but I didn't care since this turned into shit.
Then do yourself a favour mate, find somewhere else to waste your spare time. Life's too short to be posting stuff on a website you don't like. It's never going to go back to the way it was.
Dear me.
Honestly the DDOS excuse would have been better, the slow response due to public holiday would have also been fine but 5 days?
diverse dns servers is literally hosting101 and your outrage won't stop anyone's mild amusement at rookie mistakes from people selling "enterprise" tier services.
Tell that to Cloudflare -lol
amusement at them is legit too
Comment as a casual observer: if the provider doesn't want to give a backup contact access to admin accounts, the support staff should be instructed to issue an announcement and ETA when something happens, so the clients know someone is there and aware of the problem. Basic contingency planning. It seems like for 5 days no one knew what was happening, whereas an email from support to clients could get the word out? When there is lack of communication, some people will assume the worst scenario (cue speculation), not necessarily because they don't have faith in that particular provider, but because the industry changes relatively quickly and deadpools are a common sight. Provider reputation also takes time to build.
On the bright side, at least there are people who care enough about the provider to worry when he disappears for a holiday ... even if such care can take a more rowdy, dramatic form. He is not forgotten.
I agree with all of your comment, except the fact that no actual services were down; so the speculation was completely unnecessary. The panels were up, all services were up, all host nodes were up, all dedicated clients were up, all NoVNC and VPN proxies were up.
if my staff member miss for 5 days non working DNS servers, don't scan daily forums that we are present on, or somehow miss thread related to my company, first thing will be to fire him, possibly beat him up a little bit also because this is disrespect to the business that pays you money, disrespect to your clients and disrespect to this industry. But this is just me...
So if I worked for you and I missed a thread related to your company I would get beat up and fired? Jeez.
Beating is illegal
If you are paid to watch forums and you miss thread, you will be warned, If you miss thread which is stopping whole operation (like website down, dns not working and everybody asks where are you) i would assume that this is disrespect to me and to the rest of the guys who do their job like they should.
Beatings was figure of speech to add more drama.

I agree there was some overreaction given nodes were fine, just that 5 days' downtime on the front line can make customers nervous. The website represents the company so it's not a positive sign when it goes down, as people expect the same level of monitoring/attention for their purchased services. Good to hear of measures in place to prevent it from happening again.
I love this guy. He tells it like it is.
And they should be. Notice how many people remember to take backups when things like these happen? Heck, it is worth to simulate it from time to time to remember people to take backups. No data is secure in only one place, no matter the provider, raid/san setup, the backups they take, etc.
As a side note:
Uncle goes in vacation soon, he might have a heart attack due to the sun on the beach, people take backups NOW!
Now thats something that can make you nervous!
"Technical taps"
I find this very, very offensive.
Don't you Chinese fellas have a version of Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton?
I'm not Chinese.
Why is this thread still alive?
Because you bumped it?
