View Full Version : Well, I don;t know about you all, but this CoLocation thing scares me a bit
So, I wake up today to a somewhat scary email, about colo I gather being sold to mojohost.
I am not sure what to think or expect, frankly.
Important news about your colo-cation.com web hosting account
I know I have a shitty little small account, but, I felt safe knowing Chris was back there somewhere.
Am I the first to post about this here?
Ditto
On the plus Chris was just one person and if Chris got sick or worse there wouldn't have been anyone to manage his host. Mojo is a host with multiple people and a good reputation.
Just not sure if our prices and service will change. I see on their plans that backup are optional. I backup most of my servers but there are things that I can't backup.
I've been hosting with Mojo for years, very reliable, first rate support.

I've heard nothing but good things about Mojo & I know Brad is a good guy, so I'm not worried |thumb

At first this freaked me out but he says it's a merger but ends with a thank you and good luck so what is it really?
I wished that sparky would of come on here and given a bit more info like who do I pay for last month???
Guess I will just pay Davies today and hope this is correct.
**Edit** Guess I wait since I logged into my account and there is no billing summary in there and a balance of $0.00 or no money due (at this time).
Everything seems to be working except my bandwidth graph.
Fuck it seem. I can't access colo-cation.com. Must be to the same servers JuicyAds is one, can't access their site either for months now :(
How the hell am I supposed to print out my invoices now?

Have you tried using different DNS on your computer?
Try Google DNS
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
or
Open DNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
colo-cation.com was my third hosting service and the best of it all. I kinda was hoping it will be the last :) I still owe Chris last month of hosting due to problems with my debit card. Right now I too see balance 0.00 which I'm sure will be fixed soon |huh
I would just like to know few things;
-if we are to stay with the old (well it's pretty new) control panel or there will be also changes to user interface towards mojohost look ?
-pricewise vs features for that price changes if any, I'm on a low budget plan with Chris but I had almost no restrictions on bandtwith and hard drive space, not that I needed it all?
-unlimited ip's, domains, emails, databases etc etc ...
-also tech support question, Chris was always very helpful regarding coding problems used on my scripts, What can we expect from tech support now
Chris is one of the smartest people here so I'm sure he knows what he is doing. Best of luck to you Chris and thanks for the stuff.

It seems like a bit of my previous post got lost but you managed to understand me anyway :)
But that DNS thing doesn't seem to work. Maybe my cache needs to clear first...
B&W stats are working :)

Depending on your setup the DNS may need to be put in your router or computer.

I'm hoping this is a simple merger because Chris has no time for tech and that everything else stays exactly the same, fingers are crossed.

I have some older scripts and when i first moved here it took a bit of work for chris to move everything and we sort of became close friends .. I hope he is still gonna be around .. I almost feel like I am in mourning a bit .. I am gonna miss him
on the other hand I got a few problems I would have pushed to get straightened out if I knew this was gonna happen...
I got a feeling someone over at Mojo is looking at my server saying WTF :)

I've already informed cd34 that I will still be bugging him when I need some tech support. Of course, I'll pay him for his time, but at a VERY discounted rate :D
Still dealing with getting my BW graph to work. It worked a few hours and then died again. Someone named Paul is taking care of it and said that the finally issues should be cleared up today.

The more I think about it the I am a little panicked by this
There are more bugs than I thought. Yesterday I added two new domains and apparently they can't see them from their end. ? |huh among other few errors that I've stumped.

At this moment everything seems to be ok on my end except for that bandwidth stats thing I never looked at.
Still have fingers crossed that these little bugs will be fixed and everything will look and act just like it use to or I may have to move everything again.

I usually take a quick look at my BW graph each day to get an idea of my total traffic for the day. It's not a big thing but it would be nice if it was working.

After the move, some PHP coding broke on almost every site I have hosted there.
|angry|
Bandwidth stats still not working |angry|
Any news as to why he sold?
BW stats started working today. Haven't needed to use any of the other control panel features but I take this as a positive sign.
I almost feel like I am in mourning a bit .. I am gonna miss him
That's exactly how I feel too. In mourning. It's days since the move and I still feel strange, like, "what the fuck is next?".

Another trouble:Error establishing a database connectionin all of my blogs. |huh
Jeremy82
2013-09-16, 10:06 AM
Fixed! |virgohippy|
Everything is working great on my server and Foxy's server.
A little issue that I had this morning that had nothing to do with the move was taken care of in less than an hour.

I got Error establishing a database connection on a shitload of sites the other day. It was fixed, but now today, all my sites are down.....

If it makes any difference, I had some TGPX script issues with my sites yesterday as well and I've been with Mojo for years. I suspect some system wide security updates caused issues. Both issues were corrected fairly quickly after submitting trouble tickets.
No issues here, server is purring like a happy kitten.
This board also is on a server that was part of the move, no issues either.

Jeremy I'm on colo24 also. I was having issues with cgi yesterday, then everything went down. This is the last message I have received....
"The server appears to have had both of it's drives fail. We are working on this and will keep you updated."
I hate being dead in the water :(

The thing is ''If''.
If Chris would announce that he is starting new hosting company called xxxsomethinghostingxxx I would transfer all my things back to him same day.

Well, I don't know about you all, but this CoLocation thing scares me a bit?
In answer to Bill's original point - No it don't scare me in the slightest, I use a host in Mainland Europe!

lol, well imagine the best host you ever had, and you had a number over the years, suddenly announcing they are outta here. So far mojo seems fine, as far as I can tell, but I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.

When I'm submitting to a couple of places in a short time, I'm losing the connection of my URL. Anybody have the same issue? ...

Happens when I try to log into different sites wordpress or when I mark too many messages as spam....

This issue was on "colo24", I sent them a ticked and got this reply:
There was a very large amount of deferred mail on this server. I suspect that there may be a php mailer on here sending spam. I have cleared the deferred mail and am starting a full maldet scan to track down the root cause of this issue.

Hmm, when someone hacked the script on one of my sites, it took my host a couple of hours to spot this and lock the scripts down (then email me about it, threatening all sorts of shit if I did not lock down my scripts).

I've had nothing but trouble since the change, and it's seems never ending at this point...I have yet another trouble ticket sent in.

Server colo24 is down for me & trouble ticket has been sent...

It looks like colo24 issues have gone - I had another troubles yesterday, so they have changed HW on that !!
Nymph
2014-05-14, 11:13 AM
colo24 back to not sending any emails ... just lovely when I need that function on a couple of my member scripts.
ps..if you are submitting sites, and not getting emails...just know I'm still doing updates, it's just the server fucking me again.
