Head Guru

We are very aware of this Let's Encrypt. We have been considering rolling this out to our client base, but we are also very concerned about it at the same time. Mostly because of this https://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/3007326/lets-encrypt-has-issued-15-000-ssl-certificates-to-paypal-phishing-sites and then there is this http://www.zdnet.com/article/lets-encrypt-accidentally-leaks-user-email-data/ My biggest issue is the frequent renewals and the lack of oversight on Let's Encrypt. We will be rolling this out to the shared client base soon, but we have just been watching the market and seeing where we are. This latest paypal phishing issue placed more doubt in our minds. Thank you for your continued business and support.

This forum post is in regards to our blog posting in which we outlne upcoming Apache and PHP upgrades across our shared and Reseller servers. The blog announcement can be read here : http://blog.totalchoicehosting.com/2017/02/php-upgrades/ If you have any questions of comments please feel free to ask away in this forum thread. Thank you.

I will have Billy review the Real Time Status pages for all servers.

Beadle is in the list. Use CTRL F in your browser and search for beadle. We will have to review why the list is not in alpa order.

I love these new uptime pages. This is who we are!

Things are looking much better now on the server. Please let us know if your seeing improvements to the server or you can always open a help desk ticket. Thank you for your patience while we worked through this issue.

We are still tracking performance issues on this new server. Will post more when I know more Thanks

Server has been re-racked in all new hardware, with the exception of the hard drives, and is coming back up and online. I will post further update once its up and we can see how shes doing.

We have the server on the work bench and are swapping into new chassis. Updates to follow shortly.

Hey Guys, I am sorry for this issue, we have been tracking this for two days now and have been unable to determine why this server is becoming unresponsive. We have put a stop to the diagnostics and will be moving beadles drives into a brand new server. This will be taking place soon and has been announced here : https://forums.totalchoicehosting.com/index.php?showtopic=45462 Once again I am sorry for this issue and I have personally undertaken this task and am doing everything in my power to get it corrected. Please follow the above linked posts for updates to the minute. I welcome any feedback here as well. Bill

Please reply with an invoice number and I will look into what is going on with billing. Thank you for your business.

Henry drop me a email and I would be more than happy to hook you up with a free trial. You have access to your quarantine with the click of a button and if your using outlook there is a plugin that you can use along side it.

The system does not tag spam email and send it through, it keeps it in a quarantine. The quarantine is available online to review at any time.

1. How does it work? We are using proprietary technology and software. 2. What exactly does it offer to do? Controls the amount of spam and virus emails into your inbox using over 10 different techniques. 3. How good is it? In other words does it work? It has a 99.5% effective rate. 4. How is this different from spam assasin? Spam Assassin with cPanel relies on only a Bayesian Filter whilst the new service uses over 10 methods to combat spam and virus email. 5. How do I control it You will receive a daily quarantine report. From there you can delivery, whitelist or delete any emails from your quarantine list. You will also have access to a control panel to control certain settings and view your spam quarantine at any time.

The response to our announcement of this new product has been amazing. Thank you to all that are ordering. We are all so excited. Due to the overwhelming response, our Billing Server has been a little overwhelmed. It is responding a tad slower than normal and we are keeping a constant eye on it. Thank you so much for your support.

Our IRC server is open to the public just add it to your IRC client.

One more thing i forgot to mention Our fully managed VPS is fully managed. Unlimited support tickets for any reason and we are there to help.

Toe, Our VPS is all hosted on super fast SSD. There are no internal spinning hard drives, it is all SSD. Very fast. Our unmanaged VPS is simply that unmanaged. However, we always like to help our clients but we do know when we are being taken advantage of. I hope that makes sense. Concerning blacklisted IP's. Every host fights this battle. Our VPS IP blocks are not and have not been blacklisted. We are very tough on spamming. In the event that an IP does get listed and is effecting you simply open a ticket with the help desk and we have immediate solution that will make all your email deliverable again. So there is never a worry about blacklisting! Our unmanaged plans do not include cPanel but our managed plans are inclusive with cPAnel/WHM. Hope this helps and thanks for your business.

Please continue to utilize our live help feature, we are still completing maintenance on the Help Desk.
