WHB data protection is not that great.

LostSteak — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 11:47:51 GMT

In all honesty if I had made a complete backup like the terms and conditions fine print had stated, it would have been ok.

I have all my web hosting with Web Hosting Buzz, they provide a lot of functionality, bandwith and storage space for not very much money.

But ... just recently WHB had a serious HDD failure on the server that all my data was hosted on (shared8). Everything that I had been chipping away on for the two and and a half years just disapeared.

I contacted support and they had made a backup just a little while before. However it turns out that they backed up a big load of empty space over the previous backup (the HDD had failed at this point so it just read as a blank disk) ... and they only keep one backup.

Even a backup that was a 3 months old would have been fine, but i've been told that there is only one backup.

So I've lost everything. I have some rather old backups of the blogs and comments but that is about 2% of everything that was there. I now need to start from scratch again.

I cannot stress how dissapointed I am with this!

Php 5.2

LTParis — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 00:13:27 GMT

I have some PHP requirements that require PHP 5.2 but the current infrastructure that my sites are on are at 4.2.11. Can my hosting environment be upgraded or moved to a newer version?

Help sugestion to New PHP Form Code

Bralli Records — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 15:00:59 GMT

Hello,

I would ask your help to adapt our e-mail form to my website.

Everything was working perfectly until last Sunday.

But I think that some changes was done on the server, and from yesterday, all the e-mails forms from my sites don't work anymore.

I am sending below the PHP code of the form that I created and was using here:

Untitled Document

//inicia o php
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$country = $_POST["country"];
$affilliation = $_POST["affilliation"];
$track = $_POST["track"];
$note = $_POST["note"];
$comments = $_POST["comments"];

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; //pega o ip de quem enviou
$data = date("d/m/y"); //pega a data
$hora = date("H:i"); //pega a hora

//Campos Obrigatorios
$name = $_REQUEST['name'];
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
$country = $_REQUEST['country'];
$affilliation = $_REQUEST['affilliation'];
$track = $_REQUEST['track'];
$note = $_REQUEST['note'];
$comments = $_REQUEST['comments'];

//Mensagem Campos Obrigatorio
if (empty($name)) {
echo "";
echo "";
}
if (empty($email)) {
echo "";
echo "";
}
if (empty($country)) {
echo "";
echo "";
}
if (empty($affilliation)) {
echo "";
echo "";
}
if (empty($track)) {
echo "";
echo "";
}
if (empty($note)) {
echo "";
echo "";
}
if (empty($comments)) {
echo "";
echo "";
}
$msg .= "Name: \t$name
";
$msg .= "Country: \t$country
";
$msg .= "Affilliation: \t$affilliation
";
$msg .= "Favourite Track: \t$track
";
$msg .= "Rating: \t$note
";
$msg .= "Comments: \t$comments
";
$msg .= "E-mail: \t$email
";
$msg .= "IP: \t$ip
";
$msg .= "Date: \t$data
";
$msg .= "Hour: \t$hora
";

// Enviando o E-mail
$mensagem = "$msg";
$remetente = "$email";
$destinatario = "feedback@promotrack.com.br";
$assunto = "Feedback Bump Strong EP";
$headers = "From: ".$remetente."\nContent-type: text/html";

// Caso tenha problema no envio da mensagem
if(!mail($destinatario,$assunto,$mensagem,$headers )){
print "problem in your feedback, please, try again";
} else {
//agora vamos imprimir na tela o resultado ou a resposta
echo "Thanks your support!

If you are have problem with your download, please report to info@promotrack.com.br";
echo "";
}
?>

Thanks in advance for any help!
best regards
