That's right folks. Now, I'm going to speak personally here for a minute. One thing that irritates me the most is that when hosting consumers find a provider that actually appeals to them...

And then BAM, you're sold to another outfit for a quick buck. This is where the Volsh guarantee of staying with us comes into play. Once you choose Volsh, you won't be sold off like a bad habit. VOLSH GUARANTEES THIS!

On top of that, ask your provider if they are an actual company. By that, I mean ask them if they are registered and pay in the taxes that they should be paying realistically. There's a lot of hosting providers who aren't legally a company and that means they are just using some name they made up in order to do business.

Volsh is a registered company in the State of Oklahoma, a member of the Alva Area Chamber of Commerce, we have an office located at Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva, Oklahoma, and the legalities just keep going. BECAUSE THAT'S VOLSHNESS BABY!

Enough of my rant, you know I'm not going to start a thread without offering the best deal for hosting here on Wicked Fire, so look at the end of this thread for your coupons for 40% off of our shared web hosting and VPS hosting. You know why we're the best, if not just ask around here on WF and you will quickly see why.

"Always" is a long time. I'm no legal expert but this might need to be quantified to be legally binding.

Does this also guarantee that a) Volsh will never cease trading and b) the company will not be sold (including clients)?

I haven't used you and I'm staying out of the Hosting Wars, but this "always" claim sounds like a lot of the "unlimited" claims.

If I'm wrong and this is genuine then please make it legally binding and clarify exactly what this guarantee covers. Maybe get your lawyers to draw up something like:

Always be with Volsh: Volsh guarantees not to cease trading or to sell accounts either separately or included with the same of Volsh as an ongoing business for a period of 99 years. Should Volsh fail in this guarantee, each client will receive compensation to the sum of $10,000. This is personally underwritten by Volsh directors [names] and cannot be superseded or replaced under any circumstances (including, but not limited to: sale of company, death).

I'm no lawyer and that's probably still too vague but just trying to get some clarification as to what this guarantee actually covers as it seems to be your USP yet I don't see it mentioned in the Terms of Service.

__________________

GetYourWriter

That's fine and I understand exactly where you're coming from on this. We will be having a meeting this week regard this and I will see what we can come up with.

As far as death, the company won't ever be sold, as it is a family-owned company, which means my successor has worked by my side since the beginning and she plays an active part in the business.

As far as selling clients, I'm the last one that you will see doing this. Also, as far as selling the company as a whole, you won't see me do that either.

Thanks for your input LazyHippy.

Can't contact support since I don't know the support client area password nor the name of my non-existent pet to reset the pw.
Live support doesn't work: The requested URL /live/livezilla.php was not found on this server.

Can you get cpanel with unmanaged?

Gooddeal

volsh is down?

The unmanaged plans seem a v good deal, may be ordering soon!

volsh is still down while i was trying to get some sites up, geez

ElectronicPunks

Well this is pretty fucked. Could have lost a fair amount of cash here. Support ticket lodged and nothing happening...

My sites are up and down like a bride's underwear. Looks like I am looking for a new VPS provider

stmadeveloper

Oddly enough these types of experiences are what I go through anytime I try to use a "cheaper" host.

Nothing against this fellow or his company, but I can count on one finger how many times I've gone down with higher end vps plans. The lower end companies would require me to get more fingers and toes.

DDOS seems to be the catch-all excuse these days. Where's volsh's uptime report anyways?

So, what's the word? I was seriously thinking about getting a VPS, but... maybe not now. Though an explanation may persuade me to go ahead and get one.

svakanda

lol that thread went downhill quickly...

ElectronicPunks

Support seems to have gone from very good to pretty shabby in the space of a week.

Their "24/7" online chat support hasn't been working for a good while now and responses to support tickets are getting worse.

Sadly they've just lost me as a customer. I'd rather pay an extra $10 a month to Knownhost and know I was going to get exceptional support and uptime.

Infinite Keith

Does Knownhost allow porn? I don't own any porn sites, but I do have a forums where pics do get posted from time to time (a la Wickedfire.com)

Intrigued as to why Volsh suddenly went downhill so fast.

Lucid

Damn my dedicated server is down with them to. Fuck me. Luckily I am still testing the waters with these guys and haven't sent too much traffic. I'm sure the 300+ FB ads I launched tonight will all get rejected when they can't reach my landing page.

Well when I say down I mean I can't access it, so it's probably up in theory but their network is probably down. Still fucks me over.

ya'll got fleeced

sorry to bump a month old thread but i was curious did volsh go downhill and stay downhill or was this recovered?

I found this thread searching for a decent vps hosting. I emailed volsh inquiring about their vps but haven't had a reply in a few days (which is an automatic negative IMHO), added with this thread I just wanted to confirm if i should just stay far away or not?

Lucid

Heh did they go downhill? Meh still a sour taste in my mouth from my last post and today my dedicated server has been down since 8am (when I checked it this morning) and their live chat is 'offline' and no one answered the phone when I called.

I think their 24/7 support is intended to be the bot that auto replies saying your trouble ticket was received. I really need to ditch these guys. Who else can give me a dedicated box for $150 a month?

Lucid

I just got off the phone with James at Volsh (6 hours later) and apparently this issue was because I got busted by the Massachusetts Attorney General's office regarding a DMCA takedown notice. All the same usually hosts should contact you about the issue...

socialjason

We had a pleasanr experience with them!

John__N

James r u around? Need to talk to you asap. On the volsh chat those guys are saying u r not around and asked me to email you. I emailed you on all your email ids and still waiting for your reply. Please get in touch with me asap.

crackp0t

lol alva. I use to live in that town when I was hella little.

Barefootsies

DMCA, SPAM, all that stuff you (the client) are typically contacted once we received a notice. You then have a certain time frame to respond, or remove it, or prove you are not in violation.

The next step, varies by host. Some will remove it if you have refused or ignored. Others, will simply shut you down completely ending the drama and grief and ask you to move to another host.

It really depends on the host, and their T.O.S. on dealing with those issues. As you've seen on many WM forums. Many hosts will kill your account as soon as any B.S. comes up, some do not give a flying .... While most others fit in the middle of the extremes allowing for due diligence.

WOOOOOOW!

I had been attempting to receive a refund from Volsh after I overpaid them for $50 on my last invoice and I just assumed they were billing my PayPal but I had a PayPal autopay setup for the original amount. When I decided to cancel with them I submitted a trouble ticket (Once again their online support was down...even though they promised 24x7 support!!!) requesting for a refund and politely saying I will not be continuing services with them.

At no point did I go 'ITS BECAUSE YOU FUCKING SUCK'.

I login and see the ticket closed a day later with no responses to me....OK then.

I open a dispute with PayPal. Volsh rejects the dispute because they for some reason thought I was asking for a full refund on services...which I could have but being the nice guy I am I cut my losses and say whatever I still got service for this month, even if its not what I was promised, so I just want my overpayment returned. This was their actual response:

• 6/14/2010 12:49 PDT - Buyer: Hi Volsh team, I am not requesting full amount (ie: $149.99) just the $50 I overpaid. Please process through paypal. I attempted to contact you directly via your ticket submission but you failed to reach back to me and closed the ticket, hence me filing this paypal resolution.
• 6/14/2010 11:00 PDT - Seller: This dispute is asking for the full amount. We will not grant you that. We are willing to discuss the $50 you are owed. Please close this dispute, and contact us and we will get it to you promptly.Thanks.

This tune has obviously changed because once again no online chat option was available on their website. No one answered the phone. I emailed James London the president and got no response. Here was his response to my email on Twitter lol.



VERY PROFESSIONAL JAMES LONDON. I'm the idiot? First its not slander if its True! 2nd, the word you are looking for is defamation, I'm not a fucking public speaker here. 3rd, I'm an idiot? There are multi page threads on a website that you publicly advertised on where people are all calling you and your services an absolute disaster. Oh an by the way I'm not going out of business and you are....

This is class A example on how to not run a business. I hope this guy's name gets does get dragged through the mud so in future dealings people can hear how he let a ton of us down and then wouldn't even refund a very legal request for return payment.

I am assuming his 'slander' was posts I made on WF agreeing with others of the low quality of service. James, run your company instead of reading posts on Wicked Fire, which by the way did a good job at representing how bad your service ended up for several of us.

I will be doing a fully featured blog post where I will share my invoices/paypal screens/twitter screens/etc so anyone googling this guy can see his level of quality.

Next step, calling my credit card company to get a refund, PayPal told me this guy already closed up his account and disassociated his accounts so there is nothing I can do unless my CC demands the money back from PayPal.

What a hassle.

DanWesson

Translation: I'm an unprofessional little eKid, and while I probably do owe you your overpayment back, I'm willing to make it worse by taking my bat and balls and going home. Stop being to mean to me...oh why is the world so cruel?

<---has read all the Volsh threads and regrets signing up with them, even at a discount.
