resellerscene down




Posted by PlotHost-Max, 12-09-2009, 01:02 PM
Hello Anyone noticed that resellerscene.com server is down from many hours ? I can't access my sites / their site .

Posted by JLHC, 12-09-2009, 01:27 PM
Yes, they seem to be down from my end. DownForEveryOneOrJustMe.com and Host-Tracker.com are also showing it as down. EDIT: They have a Twitter page but it is not updated: http://twitter.com/ResellerScene You may want to check with their upstream provider, WestHost (VPS.net) to see whether is there any network-wide or DC-wide issue.

I sent an email to vps.net. Maybe I'll get an answer.

vps.net told me that they don't have any issues ... strange.

Well if that is the case you may want to give them a call at the phone number shown in their WHOIS:- http://whois.domaintools.com/resellerscene.com

I have kicked off emails/etc to all relevant parties. Trying to figure out what's up. We simply can't just step in and investigate such an issue without the clients permission.

I'm a client of ResellerScene for more than a year, and I'm sad to see them go. The date should say 2010, and not 2009.

Thank you for posting this information. However, their server seem to be down earlier by more than a month from your message above. Did the OP receive the email above?

We of course can't speak to confidential information - but I am also not led to believe that this is the case and that RS is officially done. Let's call that hopeful thinking

Posted by -OY-, 12-09-2009, 04:05 PM
RS' other VPS.net nodes are still up. My sites are still up as well. I'm pretty sure they're not done yet... If I had to take a guess... the main technician from Resellerscene left a month or two back, and the new techs that they hired were less competent, and took a long time to get things fixed. Kevin probably decided that there was no point continuing.

I am not able to talk about resellerscene - however, VPS.NET has no issues currently. D

I got that same email but, now I can't get to any of my websites. Luckily I moved to a new host the other day but I need to get some files from that old server I cant reach them at all,. I hope they havent dissappeared sooner than they said they would!

I just tried to call the number listed on their whois info http://whois.domaintools.com/resellerscene.com and it isn't even their number, it's some guys personal cell phone number! I was with them for alomost 2 years and have always been very happy with them but, this is really starting to make me angry!

Posted by -OY-, 12-09-2009, 05:36 PM
Maybe it's Kevin's own number?

Posted by PlotHost-Max, 12-09-2009, 06:49 PM
They are back online.

Posted by build-a-host, 12-10-2009, 02:20 PM
No, when I called I asked for Kevin, he didnt knwo who that was, then I asked if it was resellerescene.com, and he said now. So, it's not the real number.

Well if your on any of their servers... you have 3 days to backup. On Jan 15, they will be shutting down and going offline permanently. I have all but 1 site left to backup, which I am doing as we speak.

One of the clients I have now got the notice last month about resellerscene.com and moved last month to my company.
