firstnetserv is down 24+hrs




Posted by danceboysf, 06-26-2011, 07:50 AM
Is it just me, or the Firstnetserv site is down? Atleast for me there is a "default" plesk page (tested from 3 isp's in my country), but the FirstnetVPS page shows up for me.
The only way to contact them is to submit ticket via the Firstnetserv.info page, but it seems that WHMCS is not in there right now.
Before 2 days the service was up and running ok-ish.. I've had some complaints and the support (Daniel Meth) tried to help me the best way he can. I still remember the last ticket reply that he has some work at the DC and will take care of my problem later. Yesterday I traveled with very limited internet access and saw that the service is down via my smartphone "in the miidle of the road"...
Later at the hotel I saw that the whole site (Firstnetserv.info) is down (timeout) along with my VPS there. Today I see the default plesk page and my VPS is still down.

Any idea what's going on? Or this is just my bad luck again?

I've sent an email and the reply is "we do not know the issue and we do not have any eta"...

Firstnetserv is a "one-man" company and also a big fraud!

Dishonest? how did you come to that conclusion. Its well documented in the TOS you agreed to. If a chargeback/dispute is raised a fee must be paid to cover are legal defence.

Dishonest is to shutdown services without prior notice and without giving back money to customers.

I bet that you will not restore the service... I will just disappear, change name and made this again... as you did before...

Do you have evidence to backup that statement or is it just slander?

Report the nice downtime for example
Don't worry, only our country's banks will decline all payment sent to you via paypal after I report this...
After 3 days of axisnext's downtime, I reported this, got ALL my money back, and the united banks said that this company lost quite a lot of clients from my country due to this
Ah ... and if I try to order a service with them, I get declined payment, no matter the paypal acc. or card I use

Stop being silly. You still aint said which country this is either.

Edit: Is this country Pakistan? If so its a hisk risk country anyway.

Nope... It's not Pakistan
And spoke with my bank. I will have my money back by the end of the month.

It's just stupid to do this .... You could always get a backup server, till you solve this out... I run important business and it's a bad idea to get such a downtime. Although no one cares that much if the service is functioning, I must provide a decent uptime, and I don't see a way that's going to happen if I host anything with you ever again.

p.s. no bad feelings, it's just business.
If you want and you are around London, we can meet and explain you what's the cause to do this. I assure you, it's nothing personal.

Well good luck with the chargeback. But if you do win we will be selling this debt to are appointed collection agents.

I dont even know who you are so i am limited on how i can assist.

Posted by London's Blog, 06-30-2011, 06:07 AM
You do not give any assistence...

As I can read from the email you posted no assistence given...

haha, you got pissed off? I don't think that any agent can deal with my bank's managers. Even Interpol had some serious difficulties and didn't succeeded.

I don't think you can assist in any way, unless you return the servers online and figure out a good compensation for that. Or maybe it's about time to think about backups?

Even with 2 quality reputable ISP's at the main office, I still experience dropouts sometimes. So a backup is essential.

p.s. I don't wanna make this personal, as I said, it's business.

If you have some experience and dignity - you'll consider returning the servers online, at worst with different IP's. Think about it.

Posted by Dan-CKS, 06-30-2011, 06:20 AM
What makes you think i got pissed off? i am trying to help but you are not helping me identify you as a customer. For all i know you could just be a troll

Chargebacks are fraud. Do you realy want to be seen as a fraudster and want your ISP blocked from all of are services? You paid what £6.50 and your issuing threats of chargebacks.. you have to be joking right?......

Nope, thees 6.50 pounds are my coffee break in a nice place
It's not about the money, it's about the provider's respect to the clients. The other provider that I've attached the screenshot above also got some complaints from me, but he fixed his service permanently and ensured me that he doesn't oversell and I can confirm it I got quality service.

That was partially true with you ... at the beginning the service was great, even with windows 2008 (the app. is not meant for it, and Win 2k8 srv it's eating the whole 512mb of RAM only on boot).
And after your last changes, the load was better (there were almost no dropouts in the service), but a day later you've decided to shut down the service.

In short - You had the potential to become a good, reputable provider

I'm still glad that the clients don't know about the 2 days downtime (I always have backups, but I was out of town for 2 days).

Posted by Dan-CKS, 06-30-2011, 06:55 AM
Respect. FirstNetServ always puts the client first. and my replies in that ticket had proven that. We are not going anywhere. But when a client starts talking about a chargeback we have to prepare legal Resources which do cost.

"You run important business" on a provider that excludes refunds for any incurred downtime and you're not even mature enough to see that *you*, not them, accepted their TOS and agreed to have an ISP that gives you nothing if their service fails.
I don't buy this.

By the above I meant it's easiest to cancel the chargeback. But I've got scammed and learned my lesson
OK, here is my deal: I'll call my bank and hold the chargeback. I don't care for that 6.50 pounds, they are already almost lost for me. You, on your site will prove that you always put the client first and recover the service.
Oh God, atleast get a backup and "point" your "legal" team where it should be

I just don't like scammers, and they get what they deserve in any way possible
Prove that you can be a reputable provider and fix this mess

As I said above, I have backups that kick in. And for my luck the clients that use the service that was hosted on FirstNetServ didn't notice any downtime (actually they don't care that much about uptime, but I do care).
I work with other providers with much "weirder" TOS and so far - no serious issues.
Consider that I like to test my service on different VPS providers (with backup availability), and the ones that "pass the test" get a new long-term client
