I've noticed a few problems but they usually fix it pretty fast. But this last one, my sites have all been down for days.

It certainly is. Thank you again, you could probably tell I was a little freaked out so sorry if I came off sounding rash.

Thank you jlhaslip. Second time in three days that you've helped me

Ok, so my account was suspended but I didn't do anything violating the terms and conditions. I'm thinking that it must have been a billing issue because I have it on autopay every month and this month I haven't seen anything come across the email telling me it was paid. I got an email saying that autopay was being cancelled because of the move to the new billing system, it also said I would receive a brand new invoice after the move and I could just renew autopay on that invoice, the invoice never came, and now all seven of my sites are down. I can't log into cPanel or anything, does this mean that my data has been deleted? That's ten years worth of work and the last backup I did was about two weeks ago, but my sites change so much that I will be losing hundreds of hours worth of work, so my fault. I need some sort of re-up on the autopay, and if my data was deleted without giving me a chance to back it up first, well I don't know what I'll do then.Any help is greatly appreciatedThank you,

Thank you kindly jlhaslip

Ok, I guess it's not then. I'll pull my data and update my software manually.P.S. guys, I've been using Xisto - Domains for quite awhile now and have bought a large number of domains and I don't know if you just updated it or something, but it is super difficult to use now. It won't even let me purchase using PayPal which is weird. I may have to start buying my domains somewhere else (forbid that) because I really can't use this new system.

Hi,I was just curious if Fantastico on the Alpha server is still being updated with the new software because lately I've been manually going to the actual software sites and in some cases they are very far ahead of Fantastico on updates, I checked on the Netenberg site and it has the latest versions so I'm just wondering. If needs be I can pull the data out of databases and install it manually but I'd just thought I'd check first.Thanks

Well it's doing it again. I pinged my sites and the two ones that are doing it pinged to an IP address that I didn't recognize. I did a reverse lookup and it came up as resolving to Xisto, but by it, it also said that it was a broken DNS. Just wondering if there is anything I can do to fix this, because if it won't work on Xisto, I will have to move to another DNS server to make it work. I'd rather not have to purchase another year of service somewhere else when I transfer all of my domains. That could get expensive.

It is strange but I went in and chatted with support and we got everything handled. I noticed that two of my other sites started doing it so I went in and fixed them to and now everything is working fine, I just have never seen anything like that. Oh well, thanks for the help guys.

Thank you kindly, as you can imagine I freaked out a little bit when I saw another site on my site, and it is back again. I wonder if you're using Safari or Firefox because it doesn't seem to come up on those but it does on IE. I'll probably have to open a ticket, but not tonight as I must sleep and prepare for a long day tomorrow. Thank you again. **EDIT: I added a screen shot of it

Ok so while the servers were being moved all three of my sites hosted on the Xisto network were down for like a week, not all that good but I didn't say anything about it because I know that migrating servers can't be all that easy and problems are bound to happen and now two of my sites are back up but one of them is not and hasn't been for almost two weeks. If you type in offroaddatabase.com without the www. it comes to some weird site that I am not affiliated with but if you add the www. sometimes my site comes up and other times it does not. I spend a lot of money with Xisto because I have been very happy with it but now it seems like my site is being hijacked and there is nothing I can do about it because it is a domain end thing. I have already lost far to much money to my site being down that I really waived off because I knew you were only migrating to make things better for customers, but now I am losing money, and reputation for something that I can't control in any way or form so if you could help me at all I would greatly appreciate it. I have been a customer for almost 3 years so I would hate to move my domains to another registrar for something like this. My hosting is a different story, I notice it seems to be faster now then before and sense it came up I haven't noticed any downtime.**EDIT, now the weird unaffiliated site isn't coming, but nothing except my 404 error is.

Thank you as well, all these suggestions, are wow. So overall I suppose I should make my site much more dynamic, easier said then done, I'm afraid.

and thank you too. I think I'm just going to go flat black on the columns and I've been planning on adding feedback option for a while, but there's a difference between planning and doing.

Well thanks you two. I've written down everything and I'm going to start fixing everything tonight. I have a widescreen monitor so when I shrank down my resolution I saw how unbelieveibly messed up everything was. So thanks again.

Well I just finished a re-design of my site and I was wondering if you could review it. I can take critisicm as long as it's constructive. And I know about how many errors come up on W3 validation and I currently porting to an external CSS and fixing the errors. The website is ZPGamez. If you do decide to look at it, then thanks. I really appreciate it.

Thank you so much, I can't believe I forgot such a silly, but important thing.

Ok, so I'm making some arcade administration software so I don't have to add games the hard way, well anyway, one of the features I have is that on the homepage is a featured author and as such I just have it so it updates one line in the mySQL. Well, the page with the form passes on the varibles fine and the updating page recieves them because I echoed everything, then I build the query and I even echo the query and it comes out exactly how I want it to, but for some reason, the database itself won't update even though all the varibles are there.Here's my update page <?php$ud_author=$_POST['ud_author'];$ud_authorwebsite=$_POST['ud_authorwebsite'];$ud_description=$_POST['ud_description'];echo "$ud_author <br><br>";echo "$ud_authorwebsite <br><br>";echo "$ud_description <br><br>";$username="dbusername";$password="password";$database="datbasename";mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);$query="UPDATE featuredauthor SET author='$ud_author', authorwebsite='$ud_authorwebsite', description='$ud_description' WHERE id='1'";mysql_query($query);echo "$query <br><br>";echo "Record Updated <br><br>";mysql_close();echo "<a href='http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ help, I would greatly appreciated.Thanks

Microsoft is here to stay. They may get a big chunk of their market share eaten away but they are always going to be a power house. Frankly, having a whole bunch of different OS and computer types may sound like a good idea, keep 'em all competative, but if one were to stand back and look at it, in ten years, say we have 5 different OS's and let's say hypothetically they all have equal market share, now think about all the programs and hardware, some of them work here, others there because developers are not going to pay to port to all five OS's. SO my personal opinion is that it's a good thing to have one OS that the majority of the computers run on or else the programming industry may hit a critical mass point where it's not economically feasable anymore because of a large number of OS's as you say will possibly end Microsoft. But there in lies the beauty of Open Source.

Well, there are certain names that Windows won't let you rename to certain names, con is one of them, com1 and com2, are a couple of others and I can't remember the rest. It's just another one of Windows little quirks that users have to deal with on a daily basis.

There is one i know of, and it's http://www.alexa.com/. They have rankings by geographic areas, and you can input any site and it'll tell you the info and rank it has.

It's kind of sad that someone will abuse a shared server. It's good to hear that you all are working to prevent this, this is one of the reasons I choose Xisto - Web Hosting in the first place, it's really good help, and that's why I recommend it to everyone I know. I'll admit I was just a bit confused as to why one of my sites was up and another one was down at the time but it's fine now.Thanks, and I promise I won't bug you for at least a couple of months.

My site http://www.zpgamez.com/development/ will not come up. I can't access the cPanel or anything. I went to Xisto - Domains and made sure everything was pointing to the Xisto - Web Hosting name servers. I have an index file and everything required to come up. The only reason I know that the server isn't down is because I have another site working as a parked domain on my account and http://www.offroaddatabase.com/ will come up just fine, I accessed cPanel through my other site. It really is quite inexplicable to me, everything was working fine this morning but just recently it won't work. The server I am hosted on is Alpha. Thanks, I hope it's not anything to serious Nevermind, it' working now. I guess the name servers or something wasn't resolving right. Sorry

Happy Birthday Xisto, may your next three years be just as prosperous as your first. Class of 2004

Almost my entire city is under consruction, downtown is almost completely torn down, you can barely get in or out of the city because the freeway system is so torn apart right now, three of the elementary schools, one of the middle schools, and two of the high schools are getting torn down and rebuilt, while Ogden High is just getting gutted and completely remodeled, houses all over the city getting torn down and rebuilt. I live in Ogden, Utah. The government calls it "A Revitalization of Ogden". You really don't hear about a lot of problems, the occasional domestic disturbance. It really is a nice place to live, mountains to climb, rivers to kayak down, old victorians to restore, or brand new houses to buy for pretty cheap.

Looks to be one of those holder search pages for a non-exisitant website for a domain they're trying to sell.
