Hey WF...

ZenSix is partnered up with another company who has servers in Dallas at LimestoneNetworks.com and we have a special offer for you... New DirectAdmin accounts! But we only have 50 available, so get them while you can.



What is DirectAdmin?

DirectAdmin is an alternative to the popular cPanel control panel. Most people have never even heard of it, let alone tried it out, but in my opinion it's superior to cPanel in almost every way. It separates itself from the rest of the server, unlike cPanel, which literally takes over every aspect of the server.

Because DirectAdmin is more lightweight and separate, the server runs smoother and faster.

Why are you offering DirectAdmin?

Because I personally hate cPanel and would rather deal with DirectAdmin only... But since most people are afraid of change and so used to cPanel, it's hard to market DirectAdmin. Because of this we are offering 50 DirectAdmin accounts for just $10 a year (in hopes of converting a few people).

DirectAdmin demo link on this page: ZenSix Hosting :: DirectAdmin Overview
Can I host the same things on this server as on your cPanel servers?
Yes and no. If you didn't read the update in my other thread, we changed the ToS. We no longer allow adult content or any type of blackhat sites. In fact, people who sign up lately seem to think our shared servers are theirs to abuse, so I repeat: Nothing shady and nothing resource intensive on our servers (DirectAdmin or cPanel).

Okay Sites: Wordpress (not autoblog 100 install versions... just simple wordpress), phpbay sites, static sites, landing pages, low traffic prosper202 sites, etc...

Not Okay Sites: Scrappers, comment spammers, sites with stolen content, anything that's resource intensive, etc...

Basically, those people who should be hosting certain things on dedicated servers probably know they should be... So keep this in mind, because we are enforcing it: ZenSix Hosting :: The ZenSix Good Neighbor Policy

How do I order?

Just go to our main page and select the DirectAdmin plan at checkout. Your account will be set up within 24 hours of ordering.

Plan Details:

600MB of space
30GB of bandwidth
DirectAdmin Panel
Installatron (like Fantastico)
Host Unlimited Domains

I get this question every time I make a new thread or bump my old one... Let me just answer it publicly (I've already done so, but maybe not on WF)...

Why aren't you charging more for the plan? It doesn't make sense.

From day one the plan was to offer super cheap plans to everyone we could for the first year. Anyone that signs up during our first year, gets to keep their plan at the price they signed up for, for as long as they remain a customer.

We're doing this to build a customer base and gain word of mouth referrals.

After this summer all new plans will go up in price. Probably twice the price of what we offer them for now.
 
up and running in minutes... site is live. very cool.

i remember my first reaction to cPanel back in the day was absolute repulsion... not sure exactly why - but was not impressed with it. then i got used to it and could navigate pretty quickly and dealt.

i'm no DA fanboi, but it seems light, easy to navigate, and fast. thanks for the great deal!
 
I snagged a cpanel account the other day just to have basically. Are you ever going to have a plesk server? I find plesk is fantastic for managing many sites.
 
I'll take one

I'd take one if the site would let me sign up.

"Our system has detected a high risk of fraud for your order and has therefore blocked it"

Whats worse, is now that I have checked my email, I have two invoices from zensix, but no hosting account.


Not impressed. They could have at least used lube.

If they don't want my business fine, but don't send me invoices for products/services that were never delivered.

I should have just used a proxy or VPN from one of my other servers to sign up. It's sad when you have to scam in order to not be labeled a scammer.

Not unless someone holds a gun to my head or offers me tons of money. I personally hate Plesk more than cPanel.

Plesk is bloated as hell and slow... It's pretty though.

I just looked into this for you... It could have easily been fixed if you would have read the first section of the getting started guide. It says:

Once you've completed the sign-up process our system will automatically run a fraud check. If your order gets stopped because of fraud, just open a ticket and we will manually approve you.

But instead of submitting a ticket, you tried to order over and over again, creating three invoices all together. Invoices still get generated when you get flagged for fraud, because we can go back and manually approve the invoice to let you pay.

Which we sent you an e-mail about.

In fact, my support guy Chris told you in the e-mail that you could log in to the client area and pay the invoice (he deleted the other two you generated).

Anywho... your IP was from Taiwan and your billing address was from Colorado... that normally screams FRAUD and any host that would have allowed that order would be getting screwed daily. We get a minimum of 3 fraud attempts from Taiwan daily.
 
I'm impressed so far. The back end seems to be really quick. I'm not sure if it's the server or the Direct Admin script, but it snaps from page to page with authority.
 
2 times

I didn't try over and over again. 2 times.

Save it. I fuckin live here, you don't need to tell me about the fraud and scamsters here.


The point is: Put the damn geo on your homepage or somewhere BEFORE the shopping cart. Don't make me give my personal info and one of my domains, then bill me two times, only to call me a fraud and block my account.

Or, better yet, use the algorithms as tools and have an actual human review and process invoices and new domains like most good hosting companies do. There wasn't even an email verification done, nor was there a whois ran before immediately labeling my app fraudulent.

I have signed up and have been approved for many hosts/networks/registrars etc.. from this IP. Most reputable businesses understand that people travel and even work in other countries.

I have been dealing with hosting companies for over 9 years now. I shouldn't have to read some BS "getting started guide" to open a simple shared hosting account. I completely understand using the geo, I use one myself on a few of my sites but if you are going to have a script auto-block people then don't bill them.

^ Three separate orders that all came from IP 220.132.18.168. I'm sure a mod here could verify that was you. Want a screenshot from your billing account too?

Anyway, go find an account with one of those other hosts you love so much. If you can't read the getting started guide (which we tell you to do before ordering) and you can't reply to my support guy when he sends you an e-mail trying to help.... then you'd probably send in a million trouble tickets anyway and be more trouble than you're worth.

We have hundreds of WF members as clients and you are the first one to cry about an automated fraud prevention system (bitch to maxmind.com, they're the one's that say not to allow you).

I've deleted your billing account and invoices.
 
Worked great for me. I've never used Direct Admin before and I am super impressed. I just wish my vps host would offer that as an option. Thanks for the awesome deal.
 
600 megs and 30GB bandwidth? Am I the only one who feels that's little bit one-sided?

But still, it's a great deal and if you need hosting right now, you are a fucking idiot not to take this deal.
