What Hosting Plan? What About My Subdomain?

Now that I have converted to the new Credit System 3, I am very confused. First of all, where is the hosting details? How do I know what my hosting package includes now? I have tried "ordering" services with myEarnings, but it requires me to have a domain name.

Linux Hosting Vs Windows Hosting

What are the differences (in terms of features corresponding to PHP) between the Windows Hosting & Linux Hosting packages (particularly between [b]WPA[/b] & [b]Logic Plan[/b]), given that WPA also supports PHP.

Unzip Files In Cpanel?

Astahost Problem

I have been having trouble with astahost for the past few days but now it is worse then it has been. I think I may have gotten banned but I have enough host credits. Whenever I go onto my website or cpanel (or anyone else’s website that is hosted on astahost). I get: The domain "www.<name>.astahost.com" is invalid. Here is an example: [url="http://faqs.astahost.com/"]http://faqs.astahost.com/[/url] Does anyone know what is wrong? Has anyone else noticed this problem? I just

Blocked From My Own Account

Ok this is really strange. I am blocked from accessing my own site and cPanel. When I go to [url="http://portal.trap17.com/"]http://portal.trap17.com/[/url] or [url="http://portal.trap17.com/cpanel/"]http://portal.trap17.com/cpanel/[/url] , it can't connect to the server. I tried it at school, both cPanel and main site, and it works fine. Initially I thought it was because I installed ZoneAlarm on my computer so it blocked me but I tried disabling everything and it still won't connect.

Advertisements On Astahost

Quick question about advertisements on Astahost. I don’t remember reading anything in the TOS that advertisements were banned but I have a feeling that they are. Either way I have reported several gold farmers for advertisements. Here is a prime example: [quote]Average wow Powerleveling price be falls during Christmas !

Paid Emergency Credits?

I was traveling on the road today when I had one of those ohh crap moments. Last night I had every intention of posting on Astahost because I was down to something like .7 credits and I knew I was going to get my hosting suspended if I didn’t post (not like it hasn’t happened in the past). Like I said, I had every intention but I forgot and I remembered today when I was well over 5 hours away from home and gone for the weekend. While I was thinking in the car I also had the idea of paying for

Can't Access The Cpanel!

I just got an Astahost account and did everything it said I should do. I then went to the homepage of my new site and saw the page saying that my account had been created successfully and instructions on how to reach the cPanel.

Group For Computinghost Hosted Members?

Hi, Well now that i switched to computing host, I would still like to be somewhat active on the forums here (maybe accumulate some credits that i can donate to some people at somepoint or whatever). But I was wondering, if I no longer am having an account is there any way I can be in some 'computing host hosted member' group or something? Note: I still have yet to terminate my hosting on astahost, but I will probably do that shortly as it doesn't point to anything.

Hosting Not Coming Back

I was inactive for a few days and had negative credit. Then, I came back and posted until I had 11 credits, which should have allowed my site to go back up automatically. Unfortunately, this is not happening. My site is still down nearly 24 hours after posting. It's url is: [url="http://www.arbitraryian.com/"]http://www.arbitraryian.com/[/url] I'm not sure what's going on, but some feedback here would certainly be nice. Thank you!

It supposedly "failed", so I didn't use 10 credits. When I accessed my FTP account

Moderators....

Well I have been here at astahost a while now, and after being a member of the forums, there just seems something about them that doesn't quite make them as enjoyable to be in. To me it seems like the forums contain a lot of posts that are very repetative, even many topics that seem to repeat themselves... To me it seems like maybe there should be some more moderators, and the moderation should be stricter than it is. I just don't find it as fun to participate in a community where a lo

Outage?

I was just wondering if there was some major outage or something? Because when trying to visit my site it did not work (at the moment it still doesn't, but hopefully that'll fix itself soon).

I was just wondering what all that was about, since I thought that these sites were on different servers and such.

Not Working Again

I went through hosting issues recently. And now I'm having them again. A few weeks ago my hosting account stopped working (industry-online.com) even though my credits had never dipped below 10.

No site, and no email. I have already replied via email to the person who corrected the problem in the first place.

Your hosting account is currently in READ-ONLY mode while OpaQue has chance to maintain the server. I'd like to ask for your patience during this time.
