#53033 — New VPS Provider needed

I know this isn't the place to ask but since most of you are web 
programmers also, you possibly do hosting too.


Problem is also that i made the mistake of paying my current provider up 
until 5/5/2014

I had nothing but trouble with them and they wont refund back.
I lost 4 customers, good websites due to their inability.

I can even provide proof for what i paid and for the period iam writing 
5/5/14

So, no refunds back and 4 customers left me these days because of 
constant issues with them.

So, if someone want to help me out it would be nice if he could provide 
me with services free of charge for that time period, or at least at the 
end of they year.

Please someone help me out to this and then i will be his devoted customer.


This is my need:

1. I will pay for a full year upfront but it must be a low price for the 
1st year, because i have already paid them and cant get my money back to 
use it to the new com opany.
2. cPanel/WHM && Softaculous Licenses must be moved from them to the new 
VPS provider
3. Tranfer of the current 6 websites free of charge and assure that they 
work properly after transfers(they are joomlas and 2 dreamweavers)
4. Some help over the road when i need somthign to be installed like a 
new python version and a couple of modules.

Are we allowed to go peeking at all your customers' private/personal data again?

And once again Nikos demonstrates a significant lack of comprehension
of trust. In private messages to me he implies that I am joking in the
above; while this is partly true, it is also a completely serious
comment.

Given your posting history in this newsgroup/mailing list, I wouldn't be so
sure that the problem is on your VPS provider's end.

It is not a python issue here, it is wrong VPS setup by them, mails fail 
to work, quota issues, cannot migrate webistes from preblematic VPS to 
new VPS

check for example

varsa.gr how it lloks after their migration.

So...

1) Your host makes a change
2) You have no clue what that change has done
2a) Even though anyone who knows a bit of PHP (and I have to confess
that includes me) will be able to tell at a glance what's going on,
from that page.
3) You blame your host.
4) You ask python-list for some free web hosting
5) You then do not understand that, if one of us offers his server to
you, there is a massive trust issue.
6) You have no clue.

Deny that if you will! And deny also that you are the SHROPSHIRE SLASHER!

When the VPS Provider makes a change and move me form an old vPD to a 
new one they should assure all work as expected. They dont bother ven 
replying. ven my mail dont owrk as expected.
And the task for handlign php or altering complex linux configurations 
is up to them not to me that why i pay pay for a managed VPS.
They cannot ven install 'pymysql' and 'pyfeoip' properly so superhost.gr 
will run as intended and not give internal servers errors let alone the 
faulty migrtaion of joomla's varsa.gr and other weird php errors.

Will you continue to blame me or propose an alternative?

Maybe it does. It is possible your website depended on undocumented
features and that one of those features is no longer available. So
your website works as expected.

This is not the case here. No fancy modules.

in the old VPS varsa.gr was working well. They just had other issues there.

Sicne it was working in the old VPS they should migrate and configure 
appropriately the new VPS top work well there too.

Just a faulty key actuator, I think. Nothing unusual in this world.

Guys, PLEASE stop baiting Nikos with snide remarks. It makes this a very 
unpleasant environment, and sets the tone of the community, badly.

I limit myself to one snide remark every time he escapes my

He hasn't escaped from mine yet, but all this backsplatter is unbecoming.

Why don't you tell Nikos he should stop baiting the list with off topic
requestsm like whether someone is willing to provide him free hosting?

I also think you are over reacting. One thread where people come with
snide remarks doesn't turn the whole newsgroup/mailinglist into an
unpleasant environment.

I quote:

    1. I will pay for a full year upfront but it must be a low price 
    for the 1st year, because i have already paid them and cant get my
    money back to use it to the new com opany.

I get it. You don't like Nikos. I'm not suggesting you should. But 
misrepresenting him is Not Cool. He has offered to pay.

Besides, Python-friendly web hosting is not off-topic. Plenty of people 
have asked for recommendations on hosting providers that support Python 
before.

My wife often tells me it is a miracle that I don't forget my own name, 
but even my memory is not so bad as to forget just how unpleasant and 
hostile this list became a month or so ago when a whole bunch of people 
decided to drive Nikos away, and he decided to fight back.

You are quoting selectively.

IMO you are misrepresenting by quoting selectively. This from earlier
in that same post:

| provide me with services free of charge for that time period, or at
| least at the end of they year.

That he offered to pay, doesn't contradict his primary request is for
services free of charge.

He didn't ask for people experiences with various hosting providers. He
was asking people here to provide hosting services for him.

This list didn't became unpleasand and hostile. The hostility was
contained to a few threads. It was easy enough to avoid the hostility
if that was important enough to you.

I also find your reporting on the facts misleading. People didn't just
decide to drive Nikos away. People were getting fed up with the ongoing
annoying behaviour of Nikos. It wasn't Nikos who decided to fight back,
it were the people who had enough of Nikos's inconsiderate behaviour
who decided to fight back.
