I have just been informed by Tech Support that one of my accounts has been suspended because I have chat installed. phpmychat is available on my account homepage, flashchat uses less resources than phpmychat. however that's not the issue! the issue is my account was suspended with no warning, or any type of notification. Hostony just felt like turning off my account, and voila, it's off... then they take over a ####@@ing hour to reply to my trouble ticket, and probably would have not replied then if I had not submitted it to a supervisor.

It seems the longer I am with hostony the worse I am treated, If Hostony does not want me to be a customer, it is much easier to just tell me , and I will be glad to find a new hosting company

Hello,

Thank you.

Dear Customers!!!!



A network maintenance window has been scheduled for the following as posted at:

http://forums.dedicatednow.com/showthread.php?t=3497


On Monday night / Tuesday morning, we will be performing network upgrades comprising of the following:

1. RAM upgrades will be completed on our aggregation routers to provide enhanced routing features and better bgp redundancy.

2. Our Toplayer boxes will be placed inline, and we will begin fully testing its ANTI-DDOS technology, across our entire network, as opposed to the
initial testing which has only been on about 25% of the network.

Additional upgrades are planned throughout the next month, and we will update with these announcements as they become available.

With respects to the upgrades, we should only see downtime in 3 bursts of approximately 5 minutes, but we're carrying the maintenance window for a longer
period to allow for additional time if needed.

ticket 31639

Look, man. Don't threaten HOSTONY on their own forum. ALL HOSTING COMPANIES are very careful with chat programs. I've been down this road with my servers before. You get a notice in your inbox, stating that WHM (the root one) has detected a chat.

IRC use up dangerous amounts of CPU. Here's what's in HOSTONY's contract, which you "signed":
Chat Rooms
We do not allow clients to install their own chat rooms, without approving it with the HOSTONY Support Team. Most chat rooms tend to be large system hogs and we cannot allow it as an account option.
