Servers are built and online. We should be able to start taking orders again by 5pm EST

To quote Mr. Krabs.... (Famous Employer of SpongeBob Squarepants!) "I've got a bad feeling in the pit of me wallet."

Hello, Until further notice TotalChoice has suspended accepting new clients. This sales stopage is in effect for all virtual and reseller services. Why do you ask? Mainly we have simply grown to fast this month and have not been able to build servers fast enough to keep up with demand. I refuse to over sell our servers, so we have no other choice but to stop taking new orders. However, with this huge growth spurt I want to allow my staff a couple days to catch up with any outstanding issues this new growth may have caused. The customer is always first. If we oversell our services and or servers we would not be everyones favorite hosting company for long. I am thinking we will resume taking orders in a few days, but I promise nothing at this point. Thank you to all our new customers for making January 2004 our best month EVER! Bill

Way to go Bruce! Welcome to the TCH Team!

Per a suggestion we have now added MSN Naughty

I've contacted the developers of CPanel regarding this...I'll keep you updated. How are you logging in? If you use http://www.example.com/webmail than you only have to login once. Thanks for the suggestions mod_gzip is a CPanel thing? I figured it was more server-level since it's an apache module. And for the webmail login reference, see this thread: How To Change Users For Webmail? Basically, I'm talking about how you have to do an apache-level authentication, then the webmail program's authentication. IE, you hit domain.com/webmail, and apache says "user/passwd" then you get past that, and webmail asks for the same. w00t! Thanks. Seems the squeaky wheel does get fixed You are correct, not sure what Nick was refering to. I have this planned to get on the servers in 24-48 hours. Lots of other things going on right now, but mod_gzip should be somethign that our servers can run. Gimmie couple days. Billl

We have placed our Windows Servers on hold. I have no idea when the roll out for windows will start. Sorry

Ok, ready for more suggestions. Please note what has been suggested above and the current status. Bill

Do we really need to hash this all over again Raul? You know why we no longer offer shell, if you have forgotten drop me a PM and I will glady remind you why. Bill

Let me explain where the hostname servernode.net is coming from. When we build up a server at this facility, we give them our exact server specs and they in turn build the server. This includes a fresh install of the Operating System and cPanel. When they have tested the server and are confident it's a strong build, TotalChoice will then purchase the server. With all the above in mind, they have to assign it a hostname in order to put it on the network and test it. We then take over the server and set it up with our standard install and setup. Looks like we botched the hostname on Server54, meaning we forgot to change it somewhere in the setup. This is being looked at now.

Thank you for the kind words about our services. So your going to be a EMT? What a great job! I spent a number of years in Law Enforcement, and EMT's are true hero's of the trade. Good luck to you on your dream of becoming a EMT. I wish you all the luck in the world. Bill

I think we have had enough test emails. This entire thread was my way of telling myself that our support email isnt broken. http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/i...?showtopic=7154 Thanks to all that helped. Bill

I should have mentioned I did not tell any of our techs we were doing this. So the responses may seem a bit funny. LOL

Would the first ten people that read this please submit a email to our support and or sales team. I would like to test our support desk email systems. sales at totalchoicehosting.com or support at totalchoicehosting.com (The @ has been removed to defeat spam bots) Thanks and please post a reply here so we know that we hit ten persons sending in the emails. Please make the subject test and the body test. It would be really great if you could then post back here and let us know that someone had responded to your email. Thanks in advance.

Where are you sending these emails off to? I can promise you 100% that if your submitting support tickets that they are being addressed and addressed in a timley manner. This post is a prime example. A staff member responded to your inquiry within 20 minutes.
