About LinkBacksI've been a longtime JPC customer (7+ years), very pleased with the service over the time. I was initially a regular shared customer but moved to a VPS in the last year. In the past 3 weeks however, Draco (our VPS node) has experienced over 35 hours of downtime (separate from network maintenance). First the server went down for nearly 14 hours on a friday afternoon into saturday, having to FSCK. There were atleast two other outages thereafter for ~2 hours each then today, we are going on nearly 20 hours of downtime.
I know computers, things fail and happen to everyone. But this is clearly some recurring problem (hardware? drives?) since the server was very stable prior to these three weeks. The current rate of downtime is something I simply cannot live with, and since these problems keep happening, it appears that nothing drastic has been done to attempt to find the problem. Trial and error on live servers isn't very comforting. If the server is questionable, all customers on the node should be transferred until the problem can be found.
Am I being unreasonable or is it time to move on? I can't keep my customers happy (server is mainly used to host email. One of my customers has a TV program with an email feedback, the show airs on Saturdays....) with this frequent amount of outages. I always had confidence in JPC, but when people are threatening to take their business elsewhere, I can't really use the past as an excuse.

I must say, I'm kind of disappointed in JPC at the moment. I usually refer everyone who asks to this company for their hosting needs as I have been so impressed with their service, support and stability. However, the last has taken a hit the last few weeks. I agree with R45; if there is a serious issue with Draco, I think the customers on that VAPP need to be moved to another box until the underlying issue is finally resolved...

No! I don't think it's time to move on...

Quit being a cheap [male appendage] and get a managed dedicated server.
If you're being truthful, which I doubt, this shouldn't be a problem for an important person like yourself - and your important clientèle!
As an aside, I'm thinking about going totally Mormon, and moving up to three wives... sisters, actually (of my first wife)!
When I come home, from a hard day's work, and say "Hi, Honey!" at the door, it's kinda fun hearing several, "Hi, Honey[s]!" coming from the kitchen...

Now, now, Vin.
We all know that you're the resident genius here, but 30+ plus hours of downtime in a month is something I would expect from Netsol.
Not JPC.
And I know you expect better from one of the best hosting companies around...

If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce today would cost $100, get a million miles to the gallon, and explode once every few weeks.
My scripts never have bugs. They just develop random features.

I figure...
In a shared environment, you are at the mercy of those with which you share the environment!
That's why I'm glad I'm not a woman...
I can't imagine sharing my life with a stinky, hairy, farting, belching, nut scratching, Neanderthal - yet, that's exactly what YOU are doing on shared servers!
How do you figure this is JagPC's fault?!?!?

And if your perspective is accurate, what's the point of even offering a VPS?
