I got some sleep but man what a long night! Bill

Ok seems I can not sleep tonight. Read the newest Bassmaster Magazine. Looked at the rangerboats.com website. Looked at the tritonboats.com website. Looked over help desk tickets. (closed several of them) Reviewed the forums. Reviewed some email. Eat a cheese stick. Drank a Gatoraide. Back to the rangerboats.com website. Reviewed the Nitro.com website. Checked the weather for this week. Ballanced my checkbook. Eat another cheese stick. Drank some Orange Juice. Back to rangerboats.com It is 2:42AM - I am going to try to go to sleep again. Bll

Froggy - Thanks for the nice words, and if we ever fail to perform please let me know personally. Bill

You will be fine with the totalchoicehosting.com name servers. In fact any set of names servers BUT the ones listed in the email will continue to work just fine. If you using the nameservers listed in the email then you should make the change. Bill

There was a typo in the email. It is Aug 11th. Bill

Please drop me a email bill [at] totalchoicehosting.com and I would be more than happy to make arrangements for a dedicated box for you. Currently we are not taking on new dedicated server clients, however since your a long timer TCH'er we can get you online with your own box. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you. Bill

Perfection takes time.... It is on my list of things to get done. Bill

Just a couple of quick notes before I dive into the heart of my reply. Ace - Rob was not being rude, it is his JOB to police these forums. Rob does a excellent job and I am pleased (as always) with the way he replied to your postings in this thread. I did not find his reply to be arrogant, rude or offensive in any way. If you did please know that my entire staff is sorry, however sometimes typed words can hold hidden meanings when read but not when typed. Our policy has been debated over and over and over. It is like beating a dead horse. The policy is as follows. You can only host "one domain" per virtual hosting account. We will also allow you to point the TLD's of that same domain to your primary root of the hosted domain. So, if you have bill.com, we will allow bill.net,bill.us,bill.org,bill.cc and so on to be pointed to your hosting account. We do not allow for any other parking or pointing of domains to your virtual account. Is our TOS & AUP Clear on this matter? I believe it is and our legal advisor thought so as well. We clearly state that virtual accounts can only have one domain per account. That is laid out here in our "AUP". Furthermore, we clearly excerise due notice on the allowable use of subdomains in the following sections of our AUP: Also a close review of the TOS would clearly reveal that TCH reserves sole discretion in determining if a action taken by a end user is in violation and that the TOS is not to be all-inclusive. This is clearly defined and is with merit. (based on joles vs. Ameritech 1992). Also, you will note that if TCH takes no action against a violation of the TOS, then TCH is not granting a right. This as stated in our TOS in two concise and clear sections. In following what Mike Hermon has stated. If you break the rules and do not get caught, is TCH liable for not enforcing the AUP against you? This is also clearly discussed in the TOS as outlined here. The bottom line is really this. Our legal team has reviewed this (once again) and they all concur that we are very clear on this subject. You may only host one domain per virtual hosting account. The pickiest person might then say "what is hosting". A host is legally defined as the following. If you type a domain bill.com and your browser is directed to a TCH server, then bill.com is "hosted" on our servers. If you type john.com and are directed to the same bill.com website, then in all legal senses TCH is hosting John.com The policy has been clearly stated. If you think not in the AUP & TOS, then it has been clearly stated here. I have read the TOS & AUP, as well as out team of legal people and we all concur. Thanks Bill

Just a side note, there really is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth! Whilst the host may claim it, in reality they can not offer such a thing. Bill

Well I proved to Mike that Michiganders can make some of the best all you can eat BBQ Ribs on the planet. bill

Mike forgot to tell them the best part! He is moving to another state.... Bill

Here is a good thread to start. Funny Advertisements. I think this one is funny. http://www.zjstech.net/~library/5983/plumber.JPG (mods may move this if needed) Bill

It appears that some spammer is searching your cgi-bin for Form Mail scripts that could be exploited and used to send spam from your domain. If you do not have any Form Mail Scripts uploaded to your account you should not have any concerns. Bill

Hello, I am deeply sad today as I just was telephoned with some very bad news. A very close friend of the TCH family has been told that he has cancer. I am not going to disclose his name at this point, as he may not want others to know about it So I was hoping we could all just start a "Get Well Soon TCH Friend" thread. Each person can just reply with a nice thought or something. I will start it right here. Dear TCH Friend, If there is anyone that can beat this demon it is you. You have more fight in you than most 10lb Florida Strain Largemouth I have ever caught. If you treat this cancer like you treat our servers when they act bad, then watch out cancer! You and your family are in all of the TCH family prayers and thoughts. If there is anything we can do at anytime please let us know. We love you and know you will beat this thing. Love Bill and Patty Kish and the entire TCH Family

Our firewall is not blocking your Email Server. You might be interested to know that your server has been blacklisted on several Email Black List's. This is not the problem here with your email, however, it may be a problem for you in the future. http://www.samspade.org/t/rbl?a=66.246.37.202&r=on As Mike stated, have your host contact us and we can see where the problem is. Thanks

Hi, Alan has investigated this issue (as you can see) and I have reviewed the materials to support his conclusions. Perhaps you will need to contact your ISP and also try rebooting your cable modem (unplug from wall for 60 seconds) and any routers or firewals. Bill

I am so sorry to see your having access problems. I have Alan (our Lead Administrator) looking into this now. He will post a update here for you. Bill

It is no mystery. You have a problem with mail inbound to us. We dont block any in bound email. If your not happy with your current host then you should source a new host. However, we simply can not trouble shoot your emaill problems. Good luck with your search. Bill

These are averages based over a period of time. 1 minutes 10 minutes 15 minutes Bill

Thanks Ali, You should check with your provider as we really can not trouble shoot your outbound email from another host. In the meantime simply use your Yahoo! account for communications. Bill

Change Host's

Cem, Not a problem. If you have any further ?'s please advise. Bill

Yes we are also contacting paypal customers. Also to clarify a point from mike. If your account is new and you add another we will phone verify again. Bill

No, semi-dedicated boxes do not allow for reseller to reseller privy. Sorry Bill

It helps if the poster is a actual TCH cusomer. growls. Thread closed.
