If so, has your site been hacked too?
Im glad I bought hosting with GoDaddy now, after this I wont be staying with them
yeah, me too :(
(http://www.knighty1.com/hacked.JPG)
blueguy have gone to a bad place, its basically servers running and nothing else, if you go to the support forum its people trading and linking porn and nothing else
According to some posts on their forum, theyve been bought out by UH-Hosting.
Which explains a lot.
pain in the ass for me, my main machine is down so Im using webmail through the cpanel for now.... which I couldent access anymore... messing around with my url history and i can get in if I fudge it a bit.
dont have a site on there tho, just use it for linking pictures and for email.... which Ill change as soon as my knighty1.com url is up for grabs... Id chance bow but with nothing happening on the bluguy end cant swap yet :(
great, now need to find more hosting for my main site...
just when i really needed it
time to go with the hassle of moving my domain to another hosting, probably 34sp
my webspace is totaly dead now :(
was planning on moveing as soon as I could move my www.knighty1.com domain.... with no one alive at blueguy and it being registered with them I was waiting for my year to run out so it would be up for grabs again :(
can i just reccomend http://4-s.co.uk/
Ive had my site for two years, theres been 0 down time, its darned cheap, I only ever needed their support when activating the site, there were some problems with teh details i supplied, sorted it via email in a day or two.
my 2p.
seems at least a server is semi up, no php or mysql and they have deleted all copies of index files and ftp is dead.... that is a joke
Well, Im out of it now. Luckily enough, I was planning to get my stuff transfered over to GoDaddy anyway and had made a backup of my database and Joomla/SMF mods the night before. My site is now up and running on my new host.
I paid monthly with Bluguy so no big loss.
A certain person who shall remain nameless with CS was letting me have a few MBs of webspace free for my avatar and sig pics. When he found out that I wouldnt budge on my ethics of modding the SC forum or push any special treatment in his direction he had a tizzy, threw his toys out of his pram and I moved to etglobalsolution.
great, my domain is almost up for renewal i see, this is gonna be a pain.
If i try to move now all hell will break loose

http://www.godaddy.com offers a moving service which might be your best option if you dont mind going USA
Hopefully etglobalsolution have sorted out the email problem on my account :nana:
unfortunately it seems godaddy dont handle uk domains...
so that is out really.
Might just change my site name
unfortunatly/.// to change your domain over to somewhere slese there needs to be somone alive on the creativesell end... and there isnt :(
Ive already tried and the email thats suposed to go to them comes back to me, and theres nothing i can do with it :(
im with uk reg thingie for a couple of different domains i have thats im not using.... therve got a thing so theyll register your domain with them for you as soon as its avalible :)
gah, cpanel is screwed, it has the hackers page...
ftp isnt working, cpanel is screwed and my website isnt working...
and not a word from the company... well it seems UH is living upto their reputation
There is a description of the problem here

So olly seems to have been too temperamemtal to keep it up and passed it on to someone else and the latest one still isnt up to speed :/
Guess I can still :rofl: as it isnt my problem :whoops:
Ive just been reading through their support forums.
What a bunch of incompetent, unprofessional bedroom amateurs!
I would pay money to see the sort of ramshackle hardware they run. Prob some bitsa boxes with one power supply and IDE drives.
Back when Olly was in charge, he said that he had invested in some Dell Poweredge boxes with mirrored SCSI hard drives.
I dont know how true that is.
Hmm, had hosting with them for a couple of years. Going to whitegiant.co.uk doesnt give me anything, yet any pics I have on there seem to be fine.
Without reading up on the finer points, will Blueguy sort it or I will I have to transfer my domain?

From what i have seen, it should be sorted, dunno how stable it will be but the techie there seems decent.
On the other hand it is owned by UH and we all know how good they are...
Just checked, still got FTP & CPanel access, just seems all my .html files have gone walkies.
Quite odd, cant remember the last time I paid em. :mrgreen:
yay, dead again!!

It was/is very true :)
Oh and anyone still with Bluguy I HIGHLY advise you move away now while you can...
new hosting is no problem.... but how do I get my domain (knighty1.com) which is registered with them to point to my new web space ?
Whats this obsession with godaddy? Theyre cowboys like 1and1. Get it regged with fasthosts / ukreg and dont look back.
Well all I need really is my domain and some space for the odd file and pictures. Who would be best for this? Also do ya have to pay to transfer domains?
Had a few problems with etglobalsolutions until they got my billing sorted out. Most, if not all of them are traceable back to their servers getting hacked a bit ago. Not mailing out bills and then getting a mail every day saying that a transaction that had gone through had failed. Seem to have sorted it out so they are back in my good books for the moment.
Glad you have noticed Serious!
We have been making improvements recently, and hope to stay in your good books :)
I check my mail *every day* so they were getting to be quite an irritant even though the service otherwise is as good as any ;)
Looks like its all gone tits up again :(
It has?
My site is fine
Its back now, but was off most of the morning and some of the afternoon, along with UH et al.
Probably a connection problem again, rather than a server problem
