I've been a proud user of Chevereto since 2015. I bought it for private use as imgur was buggy and had constant issues.
Since money was short I decided to buy the network license which came attached to a shared hosting plan with Arvixe.
I knew about EIG buying them and everything and really hoped support would be great. First day I had a few issues and thanks to Rodolfo and Greg(g)? At Arvixe my issues were sorted. (Only once Rodolfo reached out to Greg(g) to email me. Support hadn't responded which seems to be a very common thing at Arvixe.
Sadly things haven't been great since. I've had constant issues with random downtime's some last longer than an hour.
In one case I had data loss as I couldn't login to cpanel and make a backup and Arvixe lost my data. (No sorry was given.)
25 hours ago I noticed my site was down (Again) so I decided to check my uptime logs and saw it had been down 9 hours at the time of sending a ticket.
Below are my downtime logs, I've removed my domain due to privacy. Please note the "Line" bit is from notepad++ I removed all uptime logs.
I asked Arvixe if I would be compensated for the constant downtime/issues as their website states 99.9% uptime. Clearly this isn't the case as in the past 30 days alone I've had an uptime of 96.51% let alone past downtimes/data loss.
I messaged them at 06:08 CDT and as of 21:50 CDT I've had no response to my ticket (again) and my website is still offline.
I thought this was bad but the security of Arvixe is even worse. I checked the PHP version in Chevereto before this downtime and their servers are currently running PHP 5.4.45 where's support ended yesterday for PHP 5.5. This mean's Arvixe is 2 versions behind on security updates this is excluding patches inbetween or MySQL etc.
I also found out less then a month after I signed up for Chevereto Arvixe.com was hacked yet my password was never reset nor was I informed my data breached. This was covered up and blamed on a server fault yet people posted evidence their accounts had been hacked/renamed by a hacker.
I'm extremely disappoined and I am at the stage I don't know what to do. My site can't survive with constant downtime and lack of compensation for failing to provide the said service.
I would change to my own dedicated server but sadly the license terms state I have to use Arvixe for 13 months. Which thankfully is coming up in October.
If only I'd spent $98 instead of $48. I could have used my own servers and had a thriving image host. But thanks to Arvixe they've pretty much killed my site with constant downtimes/server issues/insecurity.
Hopefully Rodolfo can do something but honestly at this stage I'd rather buy a network license again for $98 then remain with the joke that's Arvixe.
