They ARE the best I've used.
I know its probably the same company as this forum but after the last 2 days getting non answers from support, I simply have to blow off some steam.

I came here and other places looking for a host I could depend on. Many were mentioned, most out of the budget. I went with servage for the price and the ability to host adult as at some future point I have an idea I would like to try.

What I have experienced so far is as mentioned NON support, or basically call someone that cares. That's after prepaying a year mind you. Maybe they are a bit more helpful if they don't get all your money up front I will never know, as I wont be back.

My problems all stem from ftp upload using ftp.
Regardless of settings I get:
Quote:
Warning: ftp_login() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in script
Pretty simple error right, after arguing nothing other than I cant call my mom because she really doesn't understand your server environment and forwarding the below simple script to have them check for themselves:
PHP Code:
<?php
$FTPserver
="ftp.servage.net";
$FTPport ="21"also tried 2121 as told
$FTPuser
="user";
$FTPpass="pass";
$ftp ftp_connect($FTPserver) or die ("Can't connect to FTP Server : $FTPserver"); 
$login ftp_login($ftp$FTPuser$FTPpass) or die ("Can't login to FTP Server : $FTPServer"); 
?>
I get: remember this is after 2 days of non answers:

Hello Michael

Well, it must work for you. As we do not support in scripting so we might not able to help you.

Thanks!

Kind regards,
Steven, Support
Servage Hosting
WTF!??
it must work for you
If it worked for me then why the heck am I bugging them or here telling the story? Not to mention its a simple script any of you can upload and try, it either connects or fails, period.
Isn't this the same Steven listed in whois as the owner? what is the guy 12 years old?

That all is but a tip of this ice berg, anyone can use a free monitoring service and check yourself, My domains are offline at least 10, I REPEAT 10 times a day, and that's only when I am awake and monitoring.

You may say I got what I paid for, to that I say it was well over $100 crappy us dollars so I should of got more than a piss off for it. I personally will be charging it back if a refund is not forthcoming.

Summary, like doing business with children, great place for games. want a reliable host that will correct their server problems better keep shopping. My last host was slow, but at least it was up, and they answered questions in a timely manner.

Oh yeah need log files? good luck with that one, evidently the error logs are a well guarded secret, asked three times, not once have they even replied if its even available or not. For you hosted there am I missing something or what? How can anyone fix a website or script if they have no idea (logs) what is wrong with it?
